True or False?

Why did family keep it from you?  Purebred or shelter baby?   I am sorry. I know that hurt.

He was a black lab, and his name was Bojack.

They were trying to make it easier on me, and spare me something horrible. Since he was diagnosed we'd disagreed, my husband and my oldest went with what the vet said, that his cancer was terminal and he was in pain and there was no hope of recovery, but I said no, not yet. I have never been completely at peace with putting down a dog, with a killing a friend in other words, with just taking ownership of an animal's life like that, even if I know the reasoning for it. I said he still had at least a little more time. But without telling me, when I was not home, they took him to the vet and I only found out later, which was not only a painful shock and I thought just horrible to do, not even let me be with him then....it was just so....

Anyway. It was hard. And his brother missing him and looking at us asking with his eyes where he is, it just breaks my heart. But mad and hurt as I am, all I can do now is get over it. There's nothing else.

All truth.  Take Bojack;s brother close to your heart.  Make it him and you in the most intimate understanding.  If you are lucky your family may learn the depths of devotion.  I chose plural for depths because I know there are devotion and love in your family.  Comforting the brother may comfort you.  All our pain is personal.

I am one of Uwe Boll's few defenders, so much so in fact that I always refer to him as Uncle Uwe 

[RCMerchant]

True.

[Trevor]

True.

Yes: he made two movies here and they both made me go "WTF? Uwe Boll made these?"

My Dad once gave directions to a lost army colonel by the name of Dwight Eisenhower.

True.

You got it!  It was January 1942 and Ike was in commanding troops in Louisiana in a massive training exercise.  His jeep driver got lost and they wound up across the border in Texas, and my Dad gave the directions to the highway that would take them back to Sabine Parish.   Dad was about 15 at the time.  The next time he saw Ike, he was a 19 year old buck sergeant and Eisenhower was a five star general.

Yesterday I bit the bullet, held out my hand, and let a horse eat a sugar cube from it.

[RCMerchant]

True, I guess. I've done it with apples.

Heck no, Ron, I wouldn't get that close to one of those long-faced devils!   (Though I did take my daughter to her western riding class yesterday.)

Yes, yes you did. And generous with playtime on the Noah's Ark you were too.
