He seems like a really good dude. It’s easy to tell you two had something special. I’m really sorry for your loss.
The first dog my partner and I adopted passed 2 years ago. He was similar to your buddy - he always wanted to do what we were doing. He had a few favorite people and hated literally everyone else.
Honestly, he was a real shit head that caused us a ton of anxiety (soooo aggressive despite our best efforts), but he was our shit head. I don’t miss the anxiety of walking him but I miss everything else, even the sometimes-scary stuff. He was full of surprises and kept them coming until his last days.
Sorry for hijacking, just been thinking about him a lot the last few days.
I wish there was something we could say to make things easier for you. I’m sure he felt all the love you have for him every day. He sounds like a hoot.
Rest in peace, friend.
Obviously these folks should just avoid the crowd or go to concerts that have a vibe they actually enjoy, but it’s not weird to be upset when someone, accident or not, hits you multiple times/pours beer on you/etc (especially when it’s made clear to them that “hey, you swinging your fist around kinda hurts.”). Accidents happen, crowds get really cramped, but it’s usually considered courteous to be at least a little aware of where your limbs are going. It’s a 2 way street: you hit someone and they acknowledge it, maybe be a little more careful. Someone’s fist falls on your head, maybe remind them you’re right there? It’s not that hard. No matter the size of the concert though there’s always gotta be at least 1 asshole. Haven’t been to many with an invertebrate in the audience though.
All that being said, going to the manager is pretty fucking funny lmao. Just move a little further away from the stage and enjoy the show. You really can’t expect people to not spill in a crowd, or bump you, whatever, when you’re standing elbows to assholes or whatever the saying is.
All I needed was an ice pack, but really ended up just defrosting a couple pints of ice cream on my junk for 2 days.
FWIW, my BIL was golfing within 24 hours of his vasectomy
in kentucky, they say “northern kentucky” to refer to the three counties next to cincinatti because of this. weird stuff.
Lol, we know some people from the east side of KY that referred to this area as “northern kentucky,” didn’t realize how ubiquitous that was.
Reminds me of Arkansas - folks around there refer to NW Arkansas to refer to the, presumably, more progressive/different part of the state.
Thanks for all the details!
Also I’m not trying to shit on Covington/newport, but it’s just probably a slightly less good fit based on all the standard reasons you’d imagine. Newport in particular was a kind of party night destination when I was there. Maybe it’s massively changed though.
The KY side of the river feels almost like a resort town when driving along the main streets, which is to say I can see what you mean. Seems like there’s been a lot of “revitalization” effort over there in the last 5 or so years, so I suppose a lot could be changing over there.
