I hope the vet can diagnose and fix Bella up quick and easy. Puppycat has certainly pulled stuff a time or two with overly ambitious jumping.
Inara: Who's winning? Simon: I can't tell. They don't seem to be playing by any civilized rules that I know.

[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.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Kitty~ma for Bella. I hope it's nothing serious.
Today we're taking my mother out for her birthday, and tomorrow we go out to celebrate our anniversary. I'm fighting my impulse to hibernate the whole weekend.

Buying beer and copious cough meds before 9 am makes me feel classy. But the beer, sadly, is payment for helping me move Dad's desk that is bring brought up today. Very fair trade but, mmm, beer.

I hope Bella just pulled something minor that will resolve soon.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
That sounds very similar to what happened with Jeeves a couple of years back when he pulled/wrenched his hip. A steroid shot from the vet helped immensely. Also, I put boxes/step stools/etc. by the places he most liked to jump so he wouldn't aggravate things further.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Turns out it wasn't an injury at all. White fonting for ick: One of her anal glands had gotten impacted and the stuff had solidified into a mass, causing an abcess. They removed it (said it was awesomely gross) and gave her ABs and pain meds and a cone of shame.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Glad Bella's all right!
I need advice from the vintage-fabric lovers. I bought a vintage travel case that's lined in fabric, all in very good condition, but it stinks. I think it's the same awful Emeraude my mom used to wear, and now the whole downstairs smells of old-lady perfume. I'm afraid if I set it outside it'll get bugs in it, and I'll never get them out of the pockets and folds of this fabric lining. How do I get this smell out of the fabric?

Cheap vodka mixed with water (I think a 1:4 ratio) in a spray bottle. Mist the inside of travel case, let it dry, mist it again.

Vodka is apparently the miracle booze.
Is Mythbusters online anywhere?
