I'll second the OW! and the playing more. I've also had to be firm with friends who tolerate play biting. I've seen it escalate all too quickly.

I will use the laser pointer sparingly, as it can get Finn into a good house-long run and help get him good and mellow. I'm careful not to run him into anything, and I always follow laser play with something he can catch and "kill."

I am Cranktina of the Cranktown Crankstons right now.

My sister! For, lo! I am Cranketta.

When is our family reunion? For, lo! I am Crankinbelle.

I'm Crankanna, but too cranky to share space with anyone else. So, no reunion for me.

I am Cranketta

Sistah. [insert Crankston's secret family handshake...which no doubt includes a severely scrinchy face]

Thankfully, the employee in question finally took her dog to the vet and it is clear that he sustained the injuries she described. One of the wounds had to be stitched...which is unusual for punctures...so it is a good thing she took my advice.

Now, it's up to the owner to decide if she wants to pay the vet bill and explain to the client that we don't have any proof of what actually happened.

Feh.

Haven't noticed box symptoms. On one level, that'd be a huge relief. On the other, we'd be kind of horrible for not noticing before this.

Oh all you crankies. far away hugs and hair pats. I am in a rare happy evening mood and my house smells like yum. cider on the stove and cranberry sauce simmering. Nutmeg, cinnamon , and allspice make the world better.

Sits in the cranky corner. At least I'm in good company.

I was very cranky this morning, now I am simply numb.

I am soothing my cranky by browsing the Sephora website and setting a calendar alert so I can hit their online Black Friday sale. (Dad gave me a giftcard for my birthday, because he knows I always need more eyeliner.)

I am You Tube-ing clips from "Day of the Doctor". I am NOT eating the entire quarter of a carrot cake.
