[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Thank you all.
We couldn't persuade him to eat anything tonight but a cold cut with his old pain-killer on, and that took some time too. I hope he's not too much in pain at the moment - it's liquid, and I'm not sure he got all of his doze.
To conclude it all, just as my dad said: "not without a fight". So not without a fight, little fellow. Not without a fight.
Oh Shir, I'm so sorry.
Keep him comfy, love him a lot. I'm so terribly sorry.
{{Shir}} so sorry.
My sis began a crusade on the first vet.
Good.
I'm looking after Ryan by myself today. (Wallybee's at work, his grandparents are taking a well-earned vacation in Cairns.) First time I've had him on my own for a full day. In fact, I think it's the first time anyone has looked after him on their own for a full day.
I think the upshot of this is, Ryan is a very fortunate little man, and Wallybee's parents are awesome.
Indeed, that is majorly awesome, bt. 10000 parents are grinding their teeth with jealousy and they don't know why.

It is true. Wallybee's parents' visa expires in about a month, though, at which point things will change. I'm worried about how he'll cope with it; I think he's going to miss them a lot. (I know we will too.)

Honestly, you'll miss them more than he will. I mean, he will miss them but it won't be traumatic as long as you and the Wallybee are there. Younger kids are pretty flexible about this stuff.
Matilda was with her daycare provider, Maggie, from age 3 months until she was 3+ years and was very close with her. But she made the transition to preschool very easily. Within a week. And now is totally bonded with her teacher there, but that too will be a relatively short term relationship.
They don't really remember all this stuff at this age, though I do believe that all the love goes into them and builds up a sense of trust about people and the world.
My sister wants to know if I want to go with her on a trip to Germany and Austria this summer. I really want to go, but obviously I can't unless I complete and defend my dissertation first. I'm just about positive that I can finish by then, but if my advisor keeps not reading anything, that could set my timeline back a while.
I'm going to try to finish writing this week. We'll see what happens then.
Ryan is indeed very lucky to have you as parents, bt.
