Old bus drivers don't retire they retread

70,219 5,363 December 10, 2024 at 07:30 AM in Question
But then what do old Community Managers do???


This old coot is retiring at the end of the month/year.

30 years with the school kids and 15 with internet goobers.
It's time to spoil the dogs even more and I plan to find every state, county, metro and city park I can in the area and let them ENJOY!

I am grateful for the opportunity MrSD and the team gave me when they brought me on as the first CM. I've learned so much and had some interesting experiences. Zip-lining in Vegas, go karts, etc and it has been fun meeting many of the mods when they visited the office back in the day.


I am looking forward to be set free in this lounge again Evillaugh

With the heaviest of heavy hearts I had to let Bella go tonight
She had bone cancer.
She loved everyone and everyone loved her.
I'll miss her in so many ways including spinning like a top and running from one side of the yard to the other barking like a madman trying to get every delivery truck, the mailman and all construction crews to come pet her and it often worked.
She gave me 6 and a half of the happiest years of my life. (Got her at 12 weeks and she was 2 months shy of 7 yrs).
It's just Loki and me now.
I brought him with me to say goodbye ( I brought her to the ER vet early today because she was in pain). I thought it was a UTI or something since she was on strict bed rest this last week. But no.
Thanks for joining me these last years enjoying her pictures and stories.

Thanks emelvee , the hawks flying at 40 feet will prob also miss the crazy dog that thinks she has a chance to bark them out of the sky and catch them laugh out loud
I got scared at 3 am thinking about some symptoms Loki has been showing the last couple of months and took him to have the same bone scans. Yeah I was a mess thinking he's been in pain too and that I was losing them both but no sign of cancer yay just a bit of arthritis.
So while my heart is heavy that made it a touch lighter.

I appreciate all of the loungers support. I've been fortunate to have this.
