I hope Chloe quickly (and obviously, so the humans don't unduly worry) passes the plastic bits. Dogs really do seem to eat quite a lot that just travels through them. But I know you must be worried. I would be in your shoes.

I think Kittenish has plans to steal my slippers again. This might be why I so rarely own slippers.

Animals (and kids) manage to swallow all kinds of things.

She's done it once before, with no apparent ill effects. I'm just worried that she's reached her lifetime limit of broken plastic knife-piece consumption, and any further knife-eating will kill her slowly by tearing her insides apart.

She'll probably be fine, but -- broken knife piece! In her innards! Yikes!

Maybe invest in spudware.

Continued mom~ma to Jilli and family.

Dalmation-innards~to the dalmation what needs it.

Harvey's best purrs to the whole lot of you.

Jilli, I just wanted to pop in and say I'm thinking of you. Lots of healing strength to Mom of Reason, and coping~ma to you and Pete.

Steph, calm~ma for you and no ill effects~ma to Chloe.

I don't mind tea--I prefer Earl Grey and English Breakfast--but I am coffee's bitch. Got a Keurig machine for Christmas, and it's been going non-stop. I love the ability to choose what kind of coffee I'll drink for each cup. I may have 10 or 11 different types in the cupboard.

edit: Andi, it's good to have you back. I was worried about you too.

Tea. Earl Gray. Hot.

t with milk and artificial sweetener, ta!

I've had Rishi tea, brenda. Tell your friend he does good tea.

Thanks DC, I will now fall asleep to the sound of Patrick Stewart's voice. mmmmm.

Andi, it's good to have you back. I was worried about you too.

Aw, thanks. I'm feeling better than I was before I went to the hospital, and maybe even better than I have in at least a year.

Andi, I'm so glad you're feeling better.

and maybe even better than I have in at least a year.

That is really good to hear, Andi.
