only one player in NHL history admitted to hearing a woman weeping while being assaulted, left her there, then later changed his story to cover up for his friends who assaulted her.
His name is Brett Howden.
There's a part of being a dog owner we don't talk about enough. We all know, deep down, that one day the Rainbow Bridge will come into view-but most of us do our best to tuck that thought away, somewhere far in the back of our minds. We focus instead on the wagging tails, the muddy paw prints, the quiet companionship on long days and even longer nights.
That's the trade we make without ever signing a paper.
But when the time comes, and our best friend, our shadow, our loyal partner crosses over, it leaves a space that never quite fills back in. Not really. You can clean up the toys, put away the bowls, even convince yourself you're "moving on," but that silence... it lingers.
That's why getting another dog can feel like such a battle.
It's not about not loving dogs. It's because you loved one so deeply that the thought of walking that road again, knowing exactly how it ends, feels almost too heavy to carry. You remember the last look, the last walk, the last time they rested their head on your knee... and you wonder if your heart can take that kind of goodbye again.
But if there's any truth in all of it, it's this: they were worth it.
Every single moment.
And maybe, just maybe, the reason it hurts so much is because of how much love there was in the first place. 🐶💛
@WeBelieveEM Acquitted DOES NOT MEAN INNOCENT!!!! They lied and then covered each other. Morally, this is NOT a person I would associate with or HIRE !! These men were NOT held accountable!!!
@TELUSsupport I also have the pleasure of MANY hours on the phone with Telus, many hours waiting for technicians, taking time off of work, technicians not showing up (the last two appointments in a row) bad product/worse service.
@TELUSsupport, I can't believe the issues. Telus Fibre operates at 25-50% baseline speeds, Technicians DO NOT show up, and support is nonexistent. I have paid for over 2 years for a premium service and have received TERRIBLE service from tech support, and internet speeds.
@TELUSsupport Many times per week, streaming movies - buffering, watching YouTube - buffering, Teams meetings - dropped calls, live sports - freezing and buffering. A VERY unpleasant experience for a premium service. I have paid for a fibre service for over 2 years. #NOTGOOD
@TELUSsupport Testing the speed is NOT the issue. I cannot take a Teams meeting in my house anywhere without the call dropping. NOT great for working from home and paying for a premium service!!
This is by far the smartest , and most honest take I have seen coming out from our elected officials in Congress.
Kudos to Senator @timkaine for telling the truth:
@EdmontonOilers@Enterprise Please show the team some videos of Yzerman and how he changed his game to WIN championships (Defence first)!! Shore up the 3/4 lines with some players that COMPETE, get some defence, you already had some guys you gave up on that were a far cry from who we have!!!
