The Aggies go overboard for everything. Military funeral indeed! But, I’d attend if she were my dog... snif, snif...
Remember when the Aggie Corpsmen got suspended for holding the Rice U cheerleaders at swordpoint for stepping on the field at Kyle stadium back in the ‘70s?
That was meant to be a doggie ping.
12+ years is good...could be better but still more than one should expect. The more people I meet the more I love my dogs.
*woof*
Just darn such a lovely dog!
Nice picture. I was afraid to post it becaause it said it was “for sale”.
She was a beauty, but you can be sure that she ahd the best of care at the Vet clinic at A & M.
Yep! I agree with your statement about dogs and people.
Actually, it was a cheerleader from SMU ..
Sorry to hear this. I painted her portrait, from a photo, for a mother who lost her Aggie son. She will be very sorry when she hears.
Just wondering..do the Aggies bury their departed canine mascots at Kyle Field, as Georgia does with its Bulldogs? Sadly. English bulldogs don’t have a very long life span, so there is quite a collection of former “UGAs” at Sanford Stadium.
BTW, the ugliest dog mascot in college sports has to be the brown bulldog at Mississippi State. Georgia went with the white-coated version, and MSU got stuck with his uglier cousin.
Yes, they do.
SMU? I mis-remembered. No wonder I’ve never had any luck looking up that story. That was a scandal at the time! I think the Aggie got kicked out, but the A&M alums were all on his side.
But don’t forget — Rice had the Marching Owl Band, otherwise known as the MOB. They never practised, wore anything they wanted on game day, and generally were insulting to a finely tuned marching unit like Texas A & M.
Stanford University seems to have followed their lead in today’s era.
It seems so.
RIP.
there’s no such thing as an ugly dog, they’re all beautiful to somebody.
She had the same markings as my collie tiffany who passed just last summer. She was just a few days over 12 years old too.
Actually, it was Rice in the 1970s and Baylor in the 1980s.
Anyway, this University of Texas graduate sends his condolences to all Aggies on the death of Reveille VII.
