Life is short and unfair.


Life is short and unfair. I don’t even know what to say. Hours after the last picture I posted of Alice and the kids we came home from the movie to find her nearly dead in her kennel. She stayed at the vet for 36 hours, and after making some improvement on the first day, started to fade last night. I was with her when they put her to sleep this morning. We buried her collar and her stuffed elephant under our deck where she liked to crawl just out of reach.

Alice had four owners in her short life. She survived being hit by a car and moving from Alabama to Minnesota. Then being moved around in foster care before she got to us. I hope she knew she was with for the long haul. She was a good pup.

This is the last picture I took of her. We were visiting her yesterday at the vet, anticipating bringing her home today.

    My heart is broken at this news. I'm so so sorry. That sucks man. Hard lesson but ... a good one, I guess? You were there for the dog when she needed you! That's what counts. She found a real home and she died knowing that.

    Ugh. Seriously. This news crushes me. Your dog looks a bit like my dog, so I had a kind of spiritual kinship reaction to your posts.

    Thanks all. I stayed home this morning and we played some games. Then I went in to work and Mrs. G and the kids played more games and are watching movies.

This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.
