I read the thread title and thought this was going to be about a prostitute @Bogie_Klinkhammer met on New Year’s Eve.

 

However,, sorry about Hilda and congrats in your new pup!

I’ve been there brother. It’s the worst. But shoutout to Bernard. I have a 2 year old after my 15 year old boy pass. Alll she has seen is the bills in the playoffs. Bandwagon fan!

[HomeskillitMoorman]

New pup looks like a happy guy!

 

Sorry about Hilda, losing dogs is really hard, especially when they go early.

So sorry for your loss of Hilda. Always the hardest thing losing a pup. My wife and I were a mess when we lost our 16 year old Shi-poo. Even though she had been getting worse and worse she still loved laying in our laps and being with us all the time, she went very sudden. One minute she was perfectly fine, and the next minute she had had a seizure brought on by a brain tumor. She passed that night. 
 

we went a few weeks mourning her. And one day we went to go play with some puppies and found our new little girl. She’s been the light of our lives ever since. And we have no doubt that things happened exactly the way they were meant to. 
 

just know that Hilda loved being part of your family and knows you loved her too. And know that Bernard will do the same.

I’m sorry for your loss, but am glad Bernie has been welcomed into your home and into Bills Mafia. May he continue to send wins our way. 🤞

[Dablitzkrieg]

So sorry about your loss.  Been there and it sucks.  You brought us the good luck charm!!

Rebel says "Hi to Bernard" and "is sorry about Hilda"

 

Rebel also says, "Squish the Fish"

Condolences for your loss. It is difficult to lose a loyal family member.

Guard Bernard with your life! May he live a long healthy life and help deliver the Bills at least one SB!

So - Rebel does have a cause?

 

And OP, sorry about Hilda. Putting my guy down a couple years ago was extremely difficult for my family. I’m sure Bernard will bring you much joy.

She does...she supports David Bowie's charitable works in his memory...  Actually she was born in MS and adopted in MN.  The boys named her Rebel for Ole Miss

Sorry for your loss and also your new pup is adorable!

 

Mini Schnauzers? 

[TheyCallMeAndy]

Sorry for your loss, I think a Mafia Pup Thread to honor Hilda would be great tribute! 

[Bad Things]

I'm sorry to hear about Hilda.

Dogs are the best.

 

That said, I'm happy that you found a new pal!

[PromoTheRobot]

The first pet my wife and I had was Angus, a Scottie mix. He was literally born under the transmitter of the FM station I worked at in Lubbock in the early 80s. Best dog we ever had. My in-laws had a place on the water and Angus would find a stick, a branch, eventually logs, walk out on the pier, nose the piece of wood into the water, dive in to retrieve it, then climb up a ladder to do it again. Over and over for hours. Great dog.

 

Here are my current two, Rosie and Chimi

I remember Hilda telling me that the Jets loss just about finished her, and she'd die happy if we could just squish the fish.
