Not to downplay poor doggie injury, but I don't think worker's comp covers "pet's emotional instability" disability.
My dog sometimes seems disconcerted about some unnameable thing. That ought to be good for at least 5 bucks.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

[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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I fully support writing up this comp claim. "Reason for inability to perform regular duties: Dog stared into abyss, abyss stared back."

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
My dog was just discomfited by the fact that the printer made noise in the other room...without anyone near it! Shocking! Unsettling!

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Is the abyss that blank patch on the wall? Cause that happens a lot around here.

And right now he's exhibiting ennui. HARD. That's got to be good for a $20.

And I was clearly the problem address.
Oops. That's pretty funny.
bonny, if you take that employee at her word, she isn't doing anything 'legal,' she's just hoping her emotional blackmail might be worth a couple hundred bucks or so. Which, sadly for her, it's not.
Dinner was trout! Franny ate a boatload. Must remember: picky kid likes fish.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I love you guys.

You have NO IDEA now badly I wish I could forward every comment in this entire discourse to her. Seriously. BADLY.

Burrell, in the email, she asked if we had yet consulted with our insurance company and/or attorney to determine 'how this situation will be handled.'
Handled? Handle what?
Would it be mean of me to suggest she pursue worker's comp?

I get that she's upset and worried about her dog, I do. It's just... oy!
Although I just had a thought. She wasn't even going to take her own dog to the vet at first, right? Maybe money is really tight and she's worried about how to cover the vet bill. I mean, she could handle it a whole lot more gracefully, but there may be a real anxiety underneath all that.

Mr Peabody gets so upset by a smoke detector that needs a new battery that he hides under my chair. I think the smoke detector people owe him something.
