Since we're talking about pets: Guest Dog and What Guest Dog Can Do. That second picture is for real. (Please to ignore the filth in our driveway. But do admire the lovely watering can in the lower right foreground.)

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Your driveway looks like mine. Le sigh.
Guest dog is at least cute and entertaining.
Lots of good suggestions, thank you all. I've got "train and sustain" in my head, too.
Dang, that is impressive, Steph.
Aw, Steph, Guest Dog has very sweet eyes. Must need a BIG fence, though.
Guest dog is adorbs. Also, adorable TROUBLE.
Skipping a ton to say CONGRATULATIONS, NILLY!!!! How exciting! Enjoy, Mama!
At least GD is entertaining. And cute.
Hayden, I'm glad your brother is safe, and I hope he can come home soon.
Kat, I'm glad Grace came through the surgery alright, if a bit contentiously.
I hope the people who dragged the shetland pony behind their car each fall headfirst into a hornets' nest. Bastards.
I adore my present kitties, and would definitely spend for vet bills, but I simply would not take extraordinary measures. They are adored and loved, definitely, but faced with a $3000 bill, I would be VERY hesitant, unless it was a sure fix and they would have years more of a good life.
Yeah, while I'm very--perhaps overly--attached to my cat, there are limits to what I'd spend. The limits would vary depending on how flush I am, but I would not prioritize his health over keeping a roof over my head. That said, he sleeps on my bed, has the run of the apartment, gets walked on a leash regularly, and eats pretty well. He'll be a significant feature in my future living arrangements--no pet-free apartments or houses for me in the next 10-15 years. He'll have a good life until he no longer can, and then I'll have him euthanized as gently as possible. I hope that'll be years from now.
