Anthems and Protests ---
While we certainly understand the frustration by fans on all sides of the discussion, we have decided to keep the Broncos Country message boards separate from politics. Recent events have brought the NFL to the forefront of political debates, but due to the highly emotional and passionate discussion it tends to involve, we think it’s best to continue to keep politics and this forum separate. Yes, the forum is meant for discussion, but we’d like to keep that discussion to football as much as possible.
With everything going on in our country, it would be nice to keep our complaints and cheers purely related to football here. If you feel passionately, there are plenty of other outlets available to you to express your opinions. We know this isn’t the most popular decision, but we ask that you respect it.
Thank you for understanding.

Felt like bumping. Got a new friend last weekend. Love him to death and he's adjusting, as are my other two buddies. I'll have to eventually add a pic of my new guy, he's a siberian husky mix.

Congrats on your new addition. We need a family photo.

Can you guys see this? My account may be private, but I had taught my dog "Speak" previously, then started interchanging "GO BRONCOS" with "Speak." So, now every time I say Go Broncos he barks. Pretty awesome:

So the wife wanted a rescue, so we got a 3rd dog. I introduce MIller, our new Chocolate Lab. He is 3 months old, we found him at the local animal shelter.

Rescue dogs are the best! As are labs - so good natured ....
I mentioned upthread how we had to put our Golden Retriever down last year. We were hoping to get another Golden puppy this spring or summer, but couldn’t get it done for various reasons. My daughters volunteer at the local shelter and were pushing for a rescue. (Personally, I wanted to get a Golden puppy AND a rescue.) By the middle of the summer the kids were starting to really hound us about not getting a dog yet.
And, then… Griz happened.
One evening, right after a teary-eyed vote of no-confidence from the kids, we checked the shelter’s website and spotted a dog that was up for adoption the next day. We didn’t tell the kids, but planned on having them there bright and early to volunteer the next day. The connection and love between us and that dog was immediate and undeniable. We were first on the list and took him home the next day.
The shelter thought he was a 3-4 year old Chocolate Lab / Irish Setter mix. The lab in him was obvious, but our experience with Goldens and some conspicuous traits had us wondering. We had a coupon for a DNA test. Result: 7/8 Lab, 1/8 Golden Retriever.
He’s the sweetest, most mild mannered Lab (or Golden) that I’ve ever been around. It’s so strange to me. This dog spent 3+ years of his life doing SOMETHING and was probably somebody’s pet, but we have next to no idea what exactly that life entailed. He’s SO beautiful and obviously trained, but he sat in that shelter unclaimed for 2 weeks after he was picked up as a “stray”? Weird. What’s his story? What happened to his humans? Why wasn’t this awesome dog sought after and/or found by his owner? We’ll probably never know, but it doesn’t matter. He’s our dog now, and I’m pretty sure he loves us just as much as we love him.
So, here’s Griz, the newest member of the ‘Groan’ family.

For some reason, he likes to climb up and lay on things.

Some of those conspicuous Golden traits we noticed: feathering on his chest, ears and tail, and a reddish-blonde tinge to his coat.

Looking out the window and down the road - waiting for the kids to get home from school.
