Nacho,

A true tragedy. Perhaps you can retain Volicka and pursue legal means? Have you considered cryogentics, until such time that medical advances could reverse the lethal damage?

Although SMU doesn't have a medical school, I suspect that you could take the award and transport Spot to Mayo Clinic or the ready room at the Westchester Kennel Club, where they can respond quickly to the medical advances and restore his companionship to you.

Our hearts go out to you and your family. I can't imagine the pain. And, you college students, . . . actions have consequences. It could have been one of your Pledges.

:(

Yes he was the spitting image of that great mascott of A&M. I'm sorry. I can't talk about poor Spot right now. Every time I see a garbage can I think of him. Here's a picture:

Had you taught him to bend over and whoop and grab his own nuts before he died?

Nacho said Spot was a him, I thought. It would be a neat trick either way.

Poor Spot. Such Indignity he suffers in death. Like Mr Bojangles I still grieve after 20 years. Maybe stem cells could have saved him. We'll never know.

Yes...a sad, sad day indeed...when for lack of anything SMU sports related to talk about we wind up with this highjacked thread. Makes for a very long day. :roll:
