UGA VI

Today is an extremely sad day for UGA fans. Today we learned that our mascot of so many years passed away. According to his owner, Sonny Seilers, he died of congestive heart failure. I agree with the statement made by Damon Evans, "UGA VI was a DAMN GOOD DOG!"

He's wasn't just another English bulldog, he represented The University of Georgia!! A job that any dog should want. He was as pampered as they come from an air conditioned dog house on the field with all the ice he wanted to a police escort on game days to his own hotel room. He was one special dog.

We, the Bulldawg Nation, will mourn his passing, but we will look with excitement and anticipation for UGA VII. We have been assured that the linage is secure. We just hope UGA VII is ready for game day August 30th.

So, rest in peace up there in doggie heaven. Enjoy all the chew toys, ice, and food. Bring us some good luck this year. I'm sure the boys in red will win some for you!!

Why am I blogging about this, well, for starters I am a devout UGA fan. Secondly, he was a darn cute dog. I have been eyeball deep in thesis writing. I have to have a complete copy to committee by Thursday. Needless to say, I am stressed, exhausted, and tried of writing about cookies. For some stuff I want to write the following: "It is that way cuz that's what the Lord wanted" or "Well, that just the God decided it should be." As much as I agree with the statements and find them true, I don't think that will fly as support or a reason in my thesis. This IS research. I'm just ready to be done.

I know the Lord above is watching out for me. He is giving me the strength to make it through this. I will be a better person when this is over. Just keep praying that all goes smoothly. All this is only possible with Him.
