My point? I think this season with yet another Dok injury, the NCAA fiasco, all the new freshmen, and how do you solve a problem like Vick? was much the same as our little cat's last year. And just to drive the point home, he had fifteen straight Bayhawk and Cal Bear wife championships!
Now, did we give up on having a furry friend for the rest of our lives? Of course not. A couple of months later a neighborhood stray "adopted me" and now we look forward to another fifteen or more years of furry fun. Different player, but same coaching staff.
OK, I've pushed the analogy too far. Let's just leave it at

Normally you make me laugh out loud, and now I’m sitting here weeping. I’m so sorry for your loss; but you shared it beautifully.
Thank you. My sincere condolences to you and Mrs Cal Bear. I can’t imagine that your new furry playmaker could have found a better team to play for!
Indeed, ROCK CHALK FOR LIFE!

Let's see what becomes of football in a few months. A decade or so ago we were riding high,

First, Mrs HE and I send our condolences on the loss of your trusty furry friend.
We know far too well what it is like to lose such faithful companions.
Having said that (and meaning it from the bottom of our hearts)...
HEY!
I'm looking forward to this fall on the gridiron with real hope, but...
We still got one more tournament -- the BIG one! -- to play in this year!
Yes, we don't expect them to go far.
Yes, we will cheer for them every bloody chance we get and hope they come through until their last game of AY2018-19 has been played.
My baseline hope is that the B12T title game was their "everything went wrong shooting" game and that they play well in every game in The Dance.
My highest hope is that they finish 31-9.
In it to win it, baby!
LET'S GO JAYHAWKS!
ROCK CHALK! JAYHAWK! KU!

Lil' Dulce (Spanish for sweet, 'cause she's so sweet ) is an adorable little girl found roaming the tough streets of Stockton, CA. Fleas infested, wormy, tattered and torn, pregnant at too young of age (the little harlot! ) we took her straight to the vet to get checked out only to discover she has no teeth!! Apparently she had terrible periodontal disease as a very young kitten (is there any other kind of kitten than young? ) and they all fell out.
I pondered "gummy cat" but Cal Bear wife (fluent in Spanish) wouldn't hear of it so I asked her how to say "sweet" in Spanish and Dulce it is.
All the best to you and yours in the coming months/years.

Big a$$ bowl of fresh water, 2 plates of food, new bed.......feeling goooood.
She’s a beauty.
Bless her.....coming toothless saved you the chunk of change I paid to have Cosmos rotten teeth pulled after I got him. He still has a couple of teeth.....enough to use when I hack him off!!! And I’d do it again....he’s still chugging after 18 years.
Her name is perfect.
