Same thing happened to me. Got back to college for spring semester 2012. My mom called me that night that our 10 yr old beagle, Smokey, died. Cried in my bed (and weeks after) that night in my dorm.

Argh! My heart. My dog, though still in great health, is an elder statesman and I often find myself catching feelings on what will happen when... well, you know. Though I'm about to go to work and can't play with him, he's about to get the shit rubbed out of his belly and a treat.

About 4 years ago we had to put my first dog down. I then spent the next few weeks chasing our puppy away from the front door where he was patiently waiting for her. Cried everytime.

We lost my childhood dog a few weeks ago, it wasn't sudden but I wanted to share the sentiment. What really shocks me is how often we still keep expecting him to be begging for food or greeting us at the door. Hell, I might even miss him excitedly peeing on the floor every time someone new came to the door.

It's been 27 years since Temple recruited anyone who could even charitably be called the best at their position.

Fangraphs ranked the worst pitches thrown in June based off PITCHf/x data. The very worst is this pitch thrown by Juan Carlos Oviedo, 72.8 inches from the center of the strike zone. The rest aren't far behind.
