It's a bad week for pets.
While my brother was off helping to make funeral arrangements for my Mom last Saturday, his much-beloved 10yo golden Lab Misty was having exploratory surgery for cancer... which turned out to be much more advanced than even the vet expected, so she was euthanized with my sister-in-law's consent.
She was a really well-behaved dog, happy and mellow and you couldn't make eye contact with her unless you wanted her to come over and try to crawl up on your lap. (You then had to tell her to Sit and she would.)
I just hope her death sucks up all the Bad Pet Karma in my virtual neighborhood for like a year or two.
I'm sorry for your loss, Sean. And I hope your friend gets better.
I spent the very beginning of the morning calling around to pharmacies to see if they had one of my painkillers in stock--I was told "no" by five, at which point I decided to go get my hair cut and then drop by the pharmacy with the sweet Persian ladies who gave the the card that saves me $75 on the script.
And they had it...I went into Santa Monica proper (as in, within sight of the sea) and did some shopping at the British store, picked up some other meds, and I think I'm done for the day. No more moving. Too much pain. Just hydrating, and starting to pack for going home next week. Which is ridic soon--my sister turns 40 in precisely one week.
I have many tablets, but I have not bought a
tablet
for my cousin. Still no explification on that weird-assed request.

That is some cool candy. Everyone at Allyson and sarameg's jobs should have them, for starters.
Much health~ma to Luna, Sheryl.
I'm so sorry, Sean.
Much kitty~ma for Luna, Sheryl.
And sorry about your brother's doggie, Theo.
It's been raining hard, big dark storm clouds. A little while ago I heard a sound like thunder that went on way too long, like a far-off train. I went outside to look for the tornado. Came back inside to find that a tornado just went through Arlington. I'm amazed; Arlington is 100 miles away. But I know that sound.
Jesse, is it the yard sale? I should come over!
Aw, you should have! Too late now -- Unless you're in the market for an end table or filing cabinet, because I don't think they sold...
It was actually very pleasant sitting at the yard sale, although not a lot of people came by. A friend of my mom's from work came to help, although there wasn't a lot of helping needed, but it's nice to have a non-related person around some times.
And then I got my massage and some frozen yogurt and now I'm home.
I am glad you have painkillers but hate that it's so rough just to get them when you are, you know, in pain.
I just hope her death sucks up all the Bad Pet Karma in my virtual neighborhood for like a year or two.
I hope so too.
Dude is being treated for cancer and now has pneumonia. Pet hospital since last night. If he's not better tomorrow, she's letting him go. Given that she has a very hard time getting to that point, I am glad she's at least considering it today.
