• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Haven't had one of these yet over here (Dog thread)

Almost 15 full years with this buddy of mine, Captain. Had to say good bye for the final time on Sunday.

Captain was a constant in my life for so long. I changed jobs, houses, went from have no kids to now having a 9 and 7 year old, and he was always here with me. And now he's not. It doesn't even feel real. Two day later and I'm still in a fog trying to process this new life without him.

The reality that he is no longer in this world, that he now only exist in my memories, and I can't see him or touch him right now if I wanted to is hard to grasp.

It sucks, it hurts, so fvcking bad

Captain was a goofy thoroughbred athlete back in his day.

He use to run his ass off in an open field behind my house. He was so damn fast. He would've beaten any of yall's dogs in a race (unless your dog is a greyhound). He was also one of the most loyal, and gentle sprites I have ever known.

Being around "his people", which was mostly me, and then my wife and kiddos was his one true love in life.

Losing those you love is tough, but losing those who truly love you is even harder. As we all only have a small finite number of those around us at any given time during our lives.

Sorry for your loss brother. Lost my long time pup 9-10-17 and just this April was able to get a new best friend. Here’s my beautiful girl Cersei...
