Gali, our family dog, passed away this evening. She was with my family through a lot of hard times. I grew up with her, and it's extremely difficult to grasp the concept that she is now gone. I still remember the nights when I'd carry her up my ladder and into my loft as a kid..
After everything we've been through, she's the first to go- and it's hard for all of us to accept that. She was 11 1/2 years old, and was barely hanging on. She had a basketball-sized tumor in her stomach and it was growing rapidly... She left us today at home, in her bed, surrounded by her loving family.
So if you have the time, take to Earth, Mars, Venus, Luna, or even The Dreadnought, and fire a Gally shot for my pup, Gali.
She was a German Shepard, and a great one. I'll be wearing the Wolfswood Bond for a long time.

[b]Update:[/b] [i]The sympathy, love, and all around compassion you Guardians have all shown today has been both heartwarming and overwhelming. It's times like this when I remember that even though we can be a rowdy community, if there's one thing we know how to do, it's help each other, to be caring, and there for each other. The fact that none of you know me, but have the hearts to sympathize with my family and I on such a deep level is incredible, and I will never be able to express in words how much I appreciate that, and how thankful I am to be a part of this gaming community. You're like a second family to me, truthfully.
Lots of kind words tonight, I'm feeling a lot better, and am going to try and get some rest for the night. Keep doing what you do best, Guardians.[/i]

Edited by The Untimely Professor: 10/22/2015 6:43:52 AMMy condolences. My family and I had to put down our dog, Pebbles, who was -16- years old. A Labrador Retriever. She was just old, but she hadn't really been all that happy since her buddy, my other dog, Teddy, died a few years before. He was a Chow, and he had the same problems Gali had--both because of age, and I think he did just start getting sick, too. I'm not sure what to tell you. It's hard to lose an animal. Such a good friend, a longtime friend, a loyal friend, gone. But certainly not forgotten. Our new dog, Nala, is a German Shepherd, and she's got the spirit of Pebbles and the floofiness of Teddy. Seeing your post, and having her sitting next to me chewing on a water bottle, I leaned over and rested my head on her floof. I gave her a hug, booted up Destiny, and went to fire off a few shots for you and yours. Good luck, Jordan. Thanks for sharing this. I'm sad for you, but knowing my dog(s), I know you'll begin to remember the joy you and Gali shared someday. Bittersweetly, but without a doubt. Anyway, I'm talking talking talking. Best, John
