What did you decide, and how did “Mind Your Manners” influence your decision, other than giving your dog one more thing to need relief from?

He could put the poor dog down, or he could something eeeeelsssseeeee!!!

What a post

Baiiley had a swollen heart due to valve leakage - was diagnosed with it young and I was told this is what would eventually kill him. For most of his life there was no impact. But it became a problem at age 11. At that point he was regularly swollen with fluid and had to be drained of it. It was a quality of light decision - the draining was painful and offered diminishing relief.

I wasnt sure if it was worth putting him through it again. I had a conference to go to and planned to make the decision when I got back. I was gone for four days. my fear was he would die when I was away.

I made it home Sunday night and Bailey happily greeted me. The nect morning I took the girls to daycare and went to work. When I came home he greeted me again. I went in the kitchen to make dinner for the girls. I heard a yelp of shock and ran out to see what happened. He had died of a heart attack but lived long enough to say goodbye.

Ah pal

I’m sorry for your loss. Mind yourself and the kids especially. Losing a dog is the worst

thanks Dime . thats fortunately not a new story. havent gotten a new dog yet. we switched to cats. when the girls are out of the house its time for a dog again

1 dog is worth more than infinite cats.
Kids I dunno. Dogs don’t talk back and as expensive as they can be with vet bills, they’re not college fee expensive.
Dump the cats and the kids and get a dog.

When you’re ready of course it can take a while.

Cats are great. Good move Stip

Around the Bend is one of the band’s finest slow tunes ever

my face listening to this re-recorded version of Present Tense on this Last of Us single/ep

Spoiler: show

have not listened to it and hopefully won't ever

but if I had to guess

would assume the track is marred by Ed's no longer functioning voice

lack of jack irons drumming

and crappier production qualities

Pretty spot on. There's absolutely no reason to ever listen to it.

What about morbid curiosity?

Honestly, since Brittany Davis covered Present Tense, I haven't been able to enjoy Pearl Jam's version.

What about personal taste?
I mean, I dig it. Slightly above the "novelty" category for me, a nice fresh alternate.
Won't replace the studio version (which is a 5-star song to me) but still wouldn't dismiss it before listening.

How could you not listen?

You'll never know how accurate you are...

So, it’s the original present tense vocals from no code at the beginning, right? I really liked the first minute or so but then…

yeah, for some reason they used that vocal and then use one from Ed now. Super weird.

Its still a nice nugget.
