That's a lot of throwing up, flea. Even if he's eating now, you want to make sure he's well hydrated, and he'll probably need a nap in a few hours.
I'm so sorry, Fred.
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, I would guess you would both want a nap at some point!

You'd think he'd be tired. He is running laps around the house. (Yawn.)

I am not a parent, but I would keep him home, too.
ALthough, when I was a kid and stayed home from school, I was not allowed out of bed. Like at all, except possibly to go to the bathroom or vomit more. I was even brought food in my bed or on the sofa.
My mother maintained that if I was well enough to be out of bed, I was well enough to go to school.
I think being a single mom who could not afford to take time off work effected this attitude, though.

Punishingly Intricate
We had elderly neighbors next door who we would stay with if we were too sick to go to school but too well for our mom to take off work to stay home with us. They were the best! Super nice and very liberal with the application of cookies for the sick kid if they could handle them.

Yeah, if I stayed home from school, I stayed in bed. Actually, I stayed in the sofa bed down at my grandparents'. But I was never a puker except on holidays and vacation.
Holy crap, now I need to eat raclette ASAP: [link]

Thank goodness for neighbors like that!
Fred, I'm so sorry for your loss. You did everything you could, and made him a happy cat for long long time.

Did you ever eat at Artisenal, Jesse? OMG so good. It's like cheese heaven.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
The Aunt and Uncle I'm now helping out had an elaborate policy for missing school. If you missed a day of school you had the following day's afterschool activity too. So if you were out tuesday you missed, say, gymnastics wednesday even though you were back at school.
It cut back on faked illnesses to be sure.
Poor little Dillo! Home seems wise.

Some it's-nothing-ma? I felt a sore spot up by my collarbone yesterday and there is a marble sized bump there and it's tender. I am on my way to the dr, they are seeing me when I get there.
