"They told me he probably wouldn't get adopted if she left without him. I went to the shelter to adopt one dog. Diesel — a young pit bull with a wiggle-your-whole-body kind of joy. I'd already pictured him in my car. Then I saw her. Daisy, curled quietly beside him, eyes only on him. When he stood, she stood. When he rested, she leaned into him like she needed his heartbeat to feel okay. A volunteer said they'd been found together on the back roads, starving, no owner ever showing up. Staff tried separating them once. Diesel cried for hours. Daisy stopped eating. They never tried again. People wanted Diesel. Nobody asked about Daisy. And "maybe we just split them up" kept coming up quietly — not because anyone wanted it, but because two pit bulls together is a hard sell. Then Diesel walked over, touched his nose to hers, and led her to me. Like he was telling her it was safe. She sat beside him and leaned in. This wasn't two dogs. It was one heart, two bodies. "If you still want Diesel, we'll start the paperwork," the volunteer said. "I need paperwork for both," I told her. She teared up. "You're serious?" They'd already chosen each other. Who was I to undo that? An hour later, we left as a family. Diesel rode proud at the window. Daisy curled against him and slept the deepest sleep — the kind that only comes when fear finally lets go. That was two years ago. Diesel still steals blankets and treats every day like the best one yet. Daisy runs the yard now, greets guests, demands belly rubs. People think Diesel protects her. Really, they protect each other. Happy Gotcha Day, Diesel and Daisy. Sometimes the best choice isn't picking one dog — it's refusing to break a bond that was never meant to be broken. ❤️
@caleb_downs2 I appreciate everything you did for Bama! Thank You! I know you have a hard decision to make for your future and I genuinely wish you the best. Just know that the safeties in Coach Wommack's defense eat... Still hoping you come back to Bama to carry on Sabans legacy
Before y'all take it there. Wommack sat me down my junior year and said the best thing for me was to move to safety. I was HOT, but I did it. Turned out to be life changing. Was player of the year following that. He changed my life. Idk If im in the league without him. Thats him!
The @SEC played.....
The Big 12 Champion
The Big 12 Runnerup
The Big 10 Runnerup
The ACC Champion
4-0 & outscoring them 204-48.
When they go to a 12 team playoff it's just a matter of time before it's 3 or 4 SEC teams in the Final 4.
Not all CFB conferences are created equal
Bama really should be playing UGA right now. I know we are tired of Bama but the best should play each other. I don’t care if they have to play every year.
Mike Leach had trouble sleeping late Saturday night. Before he drifted off on the sofa at his home in Mississippi, he sent some text messages to friends.
He's now hospitalized and in critical condition.
