Vol's dog, Smokey, dies

Guess even the dog couldn't stand to see all those Vol players convicted....poor dog suffered from high blood pressure.

Being an animal lover, that makes me sad. Having just lost a pet to cancer not long ago, I can relate to how Smokey's owner must feel.

There are a lot of animals I would prefer over a lot of people. My guess is that Smokey would have been the only one associated with Tennessee athletics that I would have liked.

 

Yeah...at least he did drugs that were prescribed...

 

That's a shame :dis:

 

I like Smokey b/c he would piss on the field at Neyland stadium.

 

My dad had to put down his 15 year old beagle right around Christmas. Losing an animal can be really rough.

I dread the day when Mike V goes.

 

So Smokey VIII was 91-22. They ought to build him a shrine.

So that means Smokey IX is 15-9 with one bowl appearance.

good doggie.

 

I have 8 dogs...so of coarse this makes me sad...r.i.p. smokey.

 

Tennessee officials reported that, even with the high blood pressure and the kidney disease, Smokey was in better shape than Phillip Fulmer.

 

8?! :shock: I have my hands full with my 3 year old Boxer, Jazz! ...let alone 8!
