well dang, no wonder i've been so cranky and crabby this morning - the universe is hurting good people and that's just not on. can't believe i'm crying over other's people's lost pets, it hurts even by proxy. so much ~ma in so many directions. unloading is good.

[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.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I'm so sorry you guys.
I've needed to read a lot about losing a pet in the past couple of months, and one thing that gets repeated is that people who feel like they could/should have done more are the people who already have done everything possible (in other words, the people who were shitty pet owners were NOT the ones thinking they could have done more). I'd guess this is the case with Pete and Tzepesh. It feels like a betrayal, but it's not. Which is easy to say, but hard to believe.
So much this.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Man, rough days. Hugs to those who need them.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Thoughts for Jilli and Pete, and for Fred Pete.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Jilli, I'm dreadfully sorry for you, and even moreso for Pete. You guys did absolutely everything you could for Tzepesh, including letting him go when his life was more burden than his little body could support any longer. It always hurts us, even when it's the best thing for them. All my wishes for comfort and ease, for both of you.
Bev said everything beautifully.
My heart is breaking for Pete. It hurts so much to let a beloved pet go and I saw how close they were.
I am sorry, Jilli.
Fred, you are the most caring and supportive pet owner I know. I am sorry for your loss.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
So much awful news today. I'm sorry guys (Gud, Pete and Jilli, Fred Pete).

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Why did I wait until 5pm to go to the clinic? Am stupid. Why is this kid running around making crashing noises and pretending to trip so he can crash into everything? Apparently it's fun because he's laughing his head off. I want to go home but it's taken a week to get my sick ass here so I better not leave now! Somewhere inside me, deep inside, is an adult.

not your mom's socks.
I'm making the mom-face at you Zen. Stay and talk to the docs. (says the person who can think up a million reasons to put off going to the doc.) I am glad to see your pixels today.
The kid running around making crashing noises is doing it because he's as bored as you are. Also, he's probably five.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Zen, I'm glad you went. Stay!!!!
Today I stayed in my pjs until 5 pm, but I did: finally clear up the issue with my license plate renewal and reregister; call a friend who's moving next week and offer to help; and, um, I swear a couple of other things. And clear off the DVR, very important. And now I'm showered and dressed and soon I will eat, and then I think I'll get on that resume thing.
