Gigi went over the rainbow bridge today. It was very sudden. She'd been mildly unwell for a couple of days and a bit off her food so dad took her to the vet. Turns out she had a disease called immune-Mediated Thrombocytopenia (ITP) in which the body attacks its own platelets until it can't clot anymore and starts to hemorrhage all over. Testing showed she was down to like 0% platelets which was about the worst the vet had ever seen. She already had red spots on her belly and bruises under her armpits. It was a hard decision because she didn't act all that sick, but she was a time bomb, she could have had a major and very painful internal hemmorage at any time. So Dad made the compassionate call, even though it was difficult.

 

She was a great pup and now she's in the big field in the sky with all our other pups. She got along well with Maddie so I hope they are together again. 

Go Hawks!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Aside from giving up two easy touchdowns in fourth quarter garbage time the Seahawks absolutely dominated this game, especially on defense. Super Bowl 60 champs, 29 to 13.

So far Super Bowl LX (60) is going really well. As a Seahawks fan they are crushing the Pats and Bad Bunny put on a great halftime show. Suck it MAGgots. 

Ring Lift

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The opening ceremony was decent, but these five rings floated up from the ground, came together and then burst into fireworks and that was pretty cool. Time to become obsessed with the Gold Zone for the next 17 days.

Close Cauldron

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here's a closer look at the cauldron, which I think is pretty cool. The Olympic flame burns there in the middle, and the outside is lit with LEDs and changes colors.

The 2026 Winter Olympics kicked off in Milan, Italy today. Here's the cauldron lighting ceremony at the Arco della Pace. That round thing hanging in the middle is this Olympic's cauldron.
