I need some kitty~ma. Dean has had some diarrhea and he threw up a couple of times in the last few days. Now he does have digestive issues and at first I thought maybe he got into food or I've been lax on the probiotics but this seems different.

And then when I was getting him cleaned up I noticed there looked like a sore or a scratch on his rectum. I got an appointment today at 2:30. I hope this isn't serious and also (selfishly) not to expensive.

Healing~ma, Pix.

Kitty~ma, askye.

Yipes, Pix, that sounds miserable. I hope you can get some relief soon!

Kitty~ma, askye. Poor Dean.

Oh Maria, completely their loss, sorella. May something even better turn up on the horizon.

Maria, I'm so sorry. I hope something even better comes along soon.

{{{Pix}}} I hope you get relief soon. I have found that keeping aloe in the fridge makes it Too Cold but I might be a freak in that regard.

Dear roommates: deaf means deaf. Stop trying to communicate verbally with the dog.

Lots and lots of ~ma for Nora and Tom and their parents.

May his new nickname remain I. P. Freely.

Hear, hear.

veterinary~ma for Dean (and I don't think it is selfish to wish for affordable treatments).

Maria, I'm sorry that it didn't work out for you.

Much anti-pain~ma for Pix, Teppy, Hil, and anyone else I'm forgetting.

Jilli, job~ma (including feeling enough better that it is effortless for you to put your best foot forward).

Huh. So, we just had an earthquake here (central NC). That was unexpected.

We had a little one here, too (DC). I've never seen the rest of the staff panic like that ....

Hey cool. well, I would think it was cool. Are you more excited or nervous?
