It's tough to get a scoop out there these days but boom!
I read the most The Inertia story ever this morning. More The Inertia than overcoming childhood sexual traumas through learning to ride a mountain bike in Wyoming. More The Inertia than overcoming bullying and a speech impediment while learning to SUP foil in the Mentawis.
It is so The Inertia that when I read the headline Dog with terminal cancer crosses ‘surfing’ off his bucket list I thought that The Inertia would have paused all coverage of childhood sexual traumas, bullying and speech impediments in order to cover it wall to wall and raced over to see the different takes.
Somehow, though, Zach Weisberg and co. missed it. Missed the story of their year.
I feel sad for them but snoozers are losers so get ready to be uplifted to the max.
Jack Miller, a dog with terminal cancer whose owners created a bucket list of things for him to do before he passes, got to check one more item off his list Sunday, WECT reported.
When Kevin Murphy, founder of Ocean Cure in Carolina Beach, heard Jack’s story, he reached out to one of Jack’s owners, Jeremy, to offer a surfing lesson for Jack.
The surfing lesson for Jack was held Sunday morning at Carolina Beach.
Before the lesson, Jack posted on his Facebook page about how excited he was, saying, “On my way to Carolina Beach to try my paw at surfing!”
Dry those tears, Zach… you’ll catch the next one and that sweet dog is living the dream. Don’t be selfish here. Don’t be all self-absorbed.
It’s not a good look.

That poor dog, to have to suffer through a life with an owner like that.
One in six men/boys will suffer sexual assault. There is help out there. You are not alone. A young friend of mine never recovered from something that many people would consider legendary, it was not and there are many more horrible cases. There is help available.
from an older gal, or man?
Sorry if it isn’t obvious. But it’s really heavy to delve into mate. Left him confused at an age when we are already confused enough.
my dad has always had a buddy in his truck, always.. the fucking truck is a fur blanket, fucking disgusting, will buy a 40k truck and let it become a dog house in a month…. he always said.. the difference between a good and bad haircut is 2 weeks and the quickest way to get over dog… is to get another one… he is at the pound a week after his climbs to heaven.. has taken me 10 years to get over my buddy.. I am such a fucking pussy.
Get a cat. When it dies you won’t miss it.
Lost my rescue dog early last year because he had a congenitally enlarged heart. How fucked up is that? Condemned to death for having too much heart. So messed up.
Ahhh mate. Sorry.
sucks so bad
