Oof, bonny.
Joyce: And what did you do tonight? Dawn: Irritated Giles. I'm beginning to get why Buffy likes it so much.
'Get It Done'
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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

It really is sad. He was done wrong by everyone.
It's horrible to feel that I saved him from running in the street, and sustained these injuries, for nothing. Just so he can be put down by people who don't have time for him.
If anyone has a prayer for him, his name is Speck.

Ah, poor pup. I'm sorry Bonny.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If a dog bites you, Bonnie, it's a short matter of time before it bites someone else, unfortunately. Who is better equipped than you? Especially if the owners don't admit anything needs to be done?
It's sad, but I feel inevitable.

Oh, poor pooch. We had a Speck when I was a kid.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
May Speck have a place at the Rainbow Bridge - even if he doesn't have any special humans to wait for, may his heart be healed. May he rest with the Divine in peace.

Thank you, Andi. I'm kind of bowled over by how much that means to me.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Oh, bonny. How awful all around. I continue to be appalled by your former friend, and I am deeply saddened to hear about Speck. I understand why you feel like your injuries were in vain. Still, you most likely showed him the greatest kindness of his life and I would surmise that his death will be easier than it would have been had he been hit by a car.
Sending a prayer into the dark for the poor pup.
Hil, I'm so sorry you're in pain. I wish you had a better doctor near you. I wish there were better therapies available for dealing with EDS.
Steph, excited that you already have a nibble! Keeping digits metaphorically crossed for you.

bonny, I was weeping when I wrote it. I am very sad for Speck, and I know you are grieving the whole situation. It is a monstrous grievance that there are so many animals who don't get a fair chance to be the best they can be, who don't get to have the love and protection that humans are supposed to provide their pets. Stupid humans.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
bonny, I'm so sad for poor Speck, and you. smonster is right, you did him a kindness, even if he couldn't understand it.
It's horrible to feel that I saved him from running in the street, and sustained these injuries, for nothing. Just so he can be put down by people who don't have time for him.
I admit that I am probably a bad person, but I would totally say exactly that to your ex-friend, if it were me.
