That sucks. They become such a big part of the family.

Kirk Herbsreit had to have Ben put down.

This is really hard to write but so many of you have loved and cared about Ben that I wanted to let you know.

Was just reading that about Ben. It's heartbreaking, but just another anecdotal evidence that dogs are the best

They just did a tribute to Ben during the Alabama/LSU game. Herbstreit is a pro. I couldn't have gotten through that on the air without breaking down, then composed myself enough to call the game. His voice wavered a bit, but he powered through.

Here's the tribute they did for Ben today on College Gameday. I have watched in a dozen times today and I still get misty eyed.

I’m sorry I couldn’t properly lead to this beautiful tribute the @CollegeGameDay put together. Really wanted to thank all of you for the avalanche of love and support you’ve shown Ben. It gives me and my family such comfort knowing how he impacted so many peoples lives around the… pic.twitter.com/1ygVve4K6V

I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust em.

I saw the Herbstreit thing live yesterday and thought it was a little over the top and kind of narcissistic if I'm being honest. We all enjoyed seeing Ben out there as why wouldn't we - but he's not "America's Dog" anymore than any other dog out there in a loving home is... I know what they were trying to do, but I felt it was in poor taste and not something that needed to have it's own special segment on.

There. I said it.

Have had to do this 3 times...one dog and 2 cats. I know this is a pro dog crowd, but you get attached to and love any pet you have. Last time was May 2021, our oldest cat was 14 1/2. Smartest cat we've ever had...smarter than half the people that I've known in my life.
Mainly an outdoor cat, which makes her age even more amazing.
Brilliant hunter. I got to watch her be a predator many times. Just like watching a big cat on TV. Amazing. Got her and her sister from a neighbor down the road. When our girl died, her mother was still living at 16. Smart, sweet, sassy, did things at her speed, except when we shook the bag of treats. A beautiful tuxedo cat. We love and miss all of our pets.

Sort of an update. We have decided as a family that the time has come for us to bring another rescue into our lives. This poor thing was abandoned in a home when the owners left/moved. I'll post pics if it happens. Raleigh (our other dog) needs a friend and I think my heart is ready to be inevitably broken again. Merry Christmas to all of you!
