Ken Henry, treasury secretary and animal conservationist, has warned that hairy-nosed wombats are "on death row".
I need to point out that he's talking specifically about the
northern
hairy-nosed wombat, which is indeed critically endangered, being now limited to one location, the Epping National Forest. The southern hairy-nosed wombat is classified as vulnerable, but is in better shape than the northern; and the common wombat is still living up to its name.
vw, I'm sure he's just trying to help, and wants you to know he'll help out, too, but Molly's mom said not to worry, didn't she? I think she would know best, really.
Erin, you know good writing, though! (And you *do* write.) Even if you haven't written Pulitzer-winning novels, I think you can still talk about what makes good writing work, using examples. You can totally do it.
Glad for that clarification, billytea.
bug, I wouldn't call poison control. I'd just try to talk to a vet and see what's necessary.
Also, I think Erin should move to Bangkok and teach there and have ribald adventures with Fay.
vw - if I remember lo those many years ago when I worked for a vet. The things to look for are excessive thirst, hyperactivity, excessive urination, excessive hunger and big personality changes. I'm pretty sure there's not that much to worry about. Keep an eye on him.

Totally agree with this wholeheartedly.
vw, if dog thyroid meds are anything like human ones, it takes about 6 weeks to build up the dosage in your body. One dose is extremely unlikely to cause any problems.
vw, I would just keep an eye on him. Maybe call the vet in the AM just to ease your mind.
We picked up our marriage license this morning. Meep.
Thanks, guys.
I'm pretty sure there's not that much to worry about.
That's the sense I'm getting, so I'm going to take *my* meds and chill. Really. Any second now.
Any second now.
Hee, tell Toto that he is very naughty and that he gets a finger shake from everyone for giving you such a fright!
Ohhh Glam! Congrats
