Thanks again to everyone for their condolences about my dog. It actually really helped me a lot.

Cal is my LOCK OF THE WEEK over a reeling ucla. Gotta pick the bears over the baby bears.

Does Katie Nolan have a bigger role on FS1 than this low budget "No Filter" show? She's a potential sports comedy star that I just discovered her today while browsing youtube, and hopefully FS1 promotes her soon.

Her show focuses on "sports" so its not all CFB, but she did inform me about a giant lobster pretzel you can buy at the University of Maryland's football stadium.

Yeah, one of the things we talked about was how spoiled and happy she was, and how good her life was overall. She always had a happy home and a family caring for her and paying attention to her. She didn't get in fights with other animals, she didn't have to worry about getting food and water, she didn't have to worry in general.

Which is what made it all the more hilarious when she first came into contact with another dog -- a little black labrador puppy a couple months old -- and she FLIPPED THE FUCK OUT and wanted nothing to do with it! She literally came and hid behind us, and refused to look at it. Super funny.

Anyway, those great memories make it all worthwhile. And yeah, we didn't want her to have to live in pain for our sake.

I think reflecting on the positives is what helps the most. I remember when I was in my final year of school and my parent's called and told me they had had to put down my dog. I was crushed, I barely even saw my dog at that point and I was still crushed.

But what helped was thinking about how my family had rescued him from the humane society when I was in middle school. We gave him like 9 more years than he might have had and he had a great life.

One of my cats is basically only okay with adult humans. Children or any other type of animal enter the room and I think she just kind of blacks out and flies into a rage.

I wonder how pets get like that. I have a theory with my dog (she wasn't socialized with other dogs so I don't think she even saw another one for the first few years of her life) but any idea with your cat?

I don't know if angry is the right word for it, I think she just totally freaks out and doesn't know how to handle it so her default behavior is to turn into a claw whirlwind if anything even remotely startling happens when there's a kid or other animal in the room. Never been much of a critical thinker, that one, so I think she just doesn't know what to do when presented with a creature of a type she's never had experience with.

The other cat is way too smart for his own good. No freak out problems with him.

I remember at our old apartment, there was a really nice stray cat that would come by every once in a while. If it was one of the times my male cat was outside, he would chase the stray about to the end of our building (20-30 yards or so) and then come back. The stray got used to this ritual. One day when our female (the freak out one) was out there, she saw the stray and started to chase it off; the stray got to the end of the building, slowed to a stop as he was used to, then turned around and saw my cat was still coming full bore. He couldn't get away in time, she collided with him full speed, and the ultimate end result was that she chased him across the entire complex and only stopped when she had him in a tree.

I'd agree the facemask is a bit much, but their traditional facemasks are just that 70s-era cheap plastic flat grey - that's nothing they need to hang on to.

Frankly I think matte, metallic, matte-metallic and chrome have simply surpassed the old "plastic & gloss" look of the 90s and 00s, and when done right there's no reason not to be rocking one these days.
