Tough To Be A Bengals Fan

Bengals season kicked off this week and I had high hopes that it might be a season worth watching! Having my first season ticket to myself I was pretty excited. Hard Knocks showed a team that is working hard and wants to win. So I went into the season opener against Denver pretty pumped.

The crowd and excitement at the game was pretty dull, to say the least. The whole game was pretty boring except the last 5 minutes. Where I had a feeling that the season could be great and then it was stripped away from me in the last 20 seconds.

The Bengal scored, to take the lead 7-6 with only 30 seconds remaining. After a time dispute, more time was put on the clock. This lead to the worst and most shocking loss I have ever seen. After a tipped pass and the ball floated up in the air a few seconds, a Denver received caught the ball and ran it in for a touchdown. Leading to a 12-7 loss for the Bengals.

It was dead silent in the stadium. I watched as hope was wiped off people's faces and another season of losing looks to be ahead of us. It's hard being a Bengals fan the past few years and I think Mike Brown needs to get out! He has no reason to be involved in selecting players and if he isn't willing to spend money then he's going to continue to see a losing team.

I still have a little bit of hope we can turn it around, but if we don't beat Green Bay it's lights out for the season. With the Steelers the next home game we better turn it up. If we don't win Green Bay and Steeleres I see the rest of the games not being sell outs which means no TV time for Bengals. Which hopefully hurts Mike Brown's pockets and he wakes the F up. All I have to say to Mike Brown is "Child Please!"

*please note, I took about 3 minutes writing this blog becuase I am still annoyed at the loss and don't want to devote anymore time talking about. Turn it around Bengals!

Pray for Chili

So, I just got back from the vet and it is not good news. Chili has almost little to no room in her lungs due to all the fluid. The vet thinks her chance of survival is 50/50. We are giving her an extremely aggressive amount of antibiotics and praying for the best.

We have until Wednesday AM, when she will get her next X-Rays and see how she is progressing. If she has not improved or the situation has worsened we will have to put her down. I really pray and hope that she turns around!

Right now I'm pissed off at the SPCA for sending home such a sick dog with a loving family. Adopting a shelter dog saves lives and families willing to do so should not be adopting and falling in love with a sick dog. Not only have we invested a thousand dollars in this dog, we have our hearts invested. To have to put her down would be extremely difficult.

To make matters worse, when we adopted the dog the woman working the counter was rude and pardon my french a bitch! The only compensation financially and emotionally they give you is, return the dog and exchange it. Like it's a piece of clothing.

I'm just really upset and pissed off right now and really hope she makes it! Pray for her in the next 24 hours and hopefully a few months from now we are writing happy Chili stories!
