Groupon has a deal on puppy pads, if that might be useful?
'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
Spike's Bitches 48: I Say, We Go Out There, and Kick a Little Demon Ass.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Once my mother was carrying my sister on her hip and turned too sharply just as Sarah wiggled... smacked her head on the door frame.
She's fine.
Plus when ltc is a little older, she will have all sorts of falls out running into things.
I started listing all the times my kids fell out of bed as babies, or were walked into walls holding my hand as toddlers, but frankly, there's too many to count. So far, both are reading 2+ grade levels above their age, with equivalent vocabulary and rhetorical talents to boot. (It's honestly a little intimidating having 2 kids that much smarter than me. Maybe I should have dropped them more often to even the playing field.)
(KIDDING.)
(MOSTLY.)
As if we weren't broken enough. My poor DH is just a big sobbing mess because he ran over our adopted old blind cat. He didn't see her (obviously) and he is just so upset. All the sadness is just too much. My heart breaks for him, and poor Penny who at least had a few months of care and love.
Oh, Laura, how terrible. Your poor DH.
Laura, that's so sad. Poor DH.
Oh, God, Laura, that is so awful. I'm so sorry.
He is in the backyard digging a grave now. The physical exertion part is good for him. Trying to make him (and me) feel better by remembering that she was seriously old and close to that day. She has been hardly touching her food and pretty much just slept all day. Zoe didn't even mess with her except to sneak a butt sniff while Penny was snoozing. I'm still glad she had love and care after being abandoned by my neighbor.
How heartbreaking! Poor DH! Poor Penny, too. It was an accident, but the love and care she had in her last months was not an accident. I hope Brandon can forgive himself soon (and realize that if he were a bad pet guardian, he would not feel so rotten about it).
