Thanks for linking that, brenda. I'm totally going to send her a note to the address listed.
You know, my big sister could really beat the crap out of her. I mean, really really.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
When mac was a Jedi!! So fun.
apparently most of the ep is about rape, so the editors don't know how this will be edited out.
The only segment I've seen of his show was also about how rape is hilarious, so.

Yes, that was it Kat. 4 years ago then. Jedi! yes. it was fun, although he had 2 massive meltdowns in the 4 days and the pool was too damn cold.
I don't even know who this jacktard comic is, but I hate him.

Seriously. I mean, maybe 99% of his stuff is NOT about rape, but it's all I know of him.

That's such a good idea! I'm just making my grandmother her now-usual birthday dessert for her 93rd, to be celebrated tomorrow.
Talked to the vet, and she still wants Homer to get the ultrasound, because the antidepressants (hee) he's on now is just a band-aid, and she's 80% sure what the actual problem is, but we need the $$$ ultrasound to be 100% sure. Hmph.

what is the treatment if the vets sees what she thinks she will on the ultrasound?

Ann, that's a ferret.
Work network won't let me see Brenda's link.
Brenda, I don't know how your shelter works. But there are shelters that take in (and care for) harder-to-adopt animals and/or animals with medical issues. Hubs and I volunteer at a shelter that takes in FIV+ cats -- possibly the only one in the DC area. They tend to find homes more slowly, but people do adopt them. And they're able to live normal, healthy lives.
I'm also aware of a shelter in NC devoted to blind cats. They provided very useful advice when I was trying to re-socialize a cat that became highly fear-aggressive after he lost most of his vision. (And his story has a happy ending -- he's now happily living in a foster home, and he even lets himself be petted from time to time.)
I don't know about shelters in your area. But it may be worth taking a look.

Oh, for sure. In fact, the woman who posted that link runs a foundation (started in honor of her own horribly injured shelter dog) that does nothing but fund medical care for shelter animals so that rescue groups can take them on. Darby's rescue gets a ton of their animals from Diane. But the volume of animals is so unfuckingbelievably high that there just isn't a happy ending for all.
