seriously? man. I'm glad I gave up watching Tosh 2.0 a long time ago.
Seriously. I mean, maybe 99% of his stuff is NOT about rape, but it's all I know of him.
ION, got most of my grandmother's gift purchased for her 99th!!! in 2 weeks. bless, she needs nothing, but I got her nature magazine subscriptions so she will get mail with pretty pictures.
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?
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.
Also, all necessary ~ma for Homer.

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.
what is the treatment if the vets sees what she thinks she will on the ultrasound?
Prednisone. She thinks it's some inflammatory bowel something, but I guess it's good to make sure he's not riddled with tumors or something.
Prednisone sounds not too terribly bad. Go infammatory bowel something!
Also, Homer, take your pill.
brenda, I have definitely gotten into fights on the internet defending kill shelters. Oh, even worse! It was defending
adopting pets from kill shelters!
I realize everyone does what works for them, but it just seems like such an obvious call to get a pet from the pound.
Prednisone sounds not too terribly bad. Go infammatory bowel something!
Yeah, that would be fine! And apparently you can get prednisone as an injectable. I am currently laughing thinking about my cat with 'roid rage.
The thing is, there are kill shelters, and I doubt people who work in them are all gung ho "kill the animals". It sounds like Diane does all she can to love the animals, even if she knows they will be euthanised, and to make their last days good ones, and that takes a strong person, as I imagine it hurts her heart every time, but she still does it so the animals can have a few days of love.
