All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Sean, Happy Birthday!

Scarlett and Rhett are adorable!

They're my parent's puppies. They're very sweet.

So what the veterinary hospital sometimes does is transfer a pet to one of the specialty clinic's emergency facilities (before the clinic's regular facilities are open) and then when the clinic opens (say, tomorrow morning) they are transfered to their regular facilities and receive immediate treatment. So one problem for me is I wouldn't even be able to talk to anyone at one of these clinics (at least, I don't think so) before transferring him there.

Tommyrot, if the specialty clinic has emergency facilities there should be someone you can talk to even if it isn't the person who will end up treating Senor Sock. Did the emergency vet recommend a particular clinic? There might be a vet tech on duty who can at least tell you what the process will be. I'm hoping for the best for both of you.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Oh dear, Tom. I'm so sorry.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

At this point I'm thinking of doing what the vet recommends. The vet tech wasn't sure, but the tech said, "I don't think she'll be recommending a specialist."

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

{{{tommy and Senor}}} I wish I had wise words, but I don't. All I can offer is my empathy.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Oh, Tommy, I'm so sorry.

But you have no infant seat in your car, alas.

This is true, sadly. We should plan better someday, and not for cleaning, but just general visiting.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Happy Birthday, Sean!

tommyrot, I don't know what to say. Other than Senor Sock has been very fortunate to have someone who obviously cares for him so much.

Bohemia was populated by both ethnic Germans and ethnic Slavs for hundreds of years, so place of birth may not be a very useful indicator in this case.

Yes, and I don't know where in Bohemia he came from. Though if I'm looking at the right person, his last name is Czech (and my last name, which is slightly different, is a Germanized version of a Czech name).

I've also found out that the Welsh part of my heritage is from Anglesey. Which is the northwest part of Wales (and technically an island, though not separated from the mainland by a lot).

OK, I'm off....

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Good thoughts coming to you, tommy. I'm sorry.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Good luck {{{Tommy and Senor}}}
