Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?  

[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.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Actually, too much potassium has made me feel this way before, too (my mom has used salt substitute in the past). The best solution is for me to not eat potato chips. When I'm eating low-glycemic, these would be verboten. :)

Tep, I've read that it can be helpful for the other dog to see/smell the body. We brought Baile back so Betsy would know what happened to her "sister". She's buried out here, which is totally against CC&Rs but we didn't get caught for it. I still have her collar in here where I write, but I don't touch it because Betsy gets psyched when she hears her tags jingle. But there is a shrine in here because she sat here while I worked so often.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I've read that it can be helpful for the other dog to see/smell the body.

My experience is with bonded pairs of cats, but I can vouch. Marie not only saw Max's body, she saw him being put to sleep. As opposed to Seamus, who only saw Rigatoni being taken out of the house in his carrier.

Marie seems to be handling the situation fairly well less than a month on. While after more than a year, Seamus seems to be still grieving and waiting for Rigatoni to come home.

Maybe it's their different personalities. Marie is more aloof, and Seamus is more sensitive. So take it for what it's worth.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Oh man, with Taz at the vet for the third time this week and this pet death conversation, I am bumming out hard!

Um, not to say this isn't an awesome and valid and sweetly sad conversation! No one should stop talking about it. Just having a tough pet week. Taz is such a sweetie pie, I know he's uncomfortable and likely in pain, and he's just so sad and sweet and lovey and all, "mommy, please make it better?"

He has the crystals and stones floating around in his bladder (again) and I'm totally paranoid about blockage.

Any pet~ma for poor Taz would be most appreciated.

Tom's at the vet with him today, I couldn't do it for a third time.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I hope Taz is feeling better soon!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Oh, poor Taz. I hope the vet can do something to take care of the bladder problems soon.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Tons of ~ma for Taz.

Can I assume Aims has already seen Daniel Radcliffe singing The Elements?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Sending pet~ma for Taz.

Having deep thoughts, following yesterday's meeting with uni people, about such things as why they are so against me going part-time, and what their hidden agendas are.

In my experience most of the time people aren't acting on some hidden agenda, they are just trying to minimize any changes to their own routine. I'm sorry you are getting stuck in the middle of it.
