That's really cool, Hil & meara, about ASL. The differences between languages are fascinating.
So I just got off the phone with the vet, and yeah, TNG has cancer. They are assuming I'll want to operate, and probably I will, except she is losing mobility pretty fast. I will want to talk to them about how fast the tumor will grow/metastasize, and how long she has if I don't operate.
Thing is, she is so sensitive a temperament that the slightest thing knocks her off. Just coming out of the mild sedation for the needle biopsy resulted in her having diarrhea all over the living room yesterday. I am having a hard time imagining how she'd do after actual surgery. Not well.
If she's only got a short time left, I want it to be a low-trauma as possible for her.
I'm sorry, Consuela. Poor dog, and poor you stuck with the hard decisions.
You and TNG have my sympathy, even though I would have named her DS9. :)
I have never eaten meatloaf. It looks like a really big flat meatballs, and I haven't had one of those in 35 or so years. Fufu, my mother would cook, but not fry chicken. She's kind of weird.
Theoretically speaking I could try it on my own, but I'm doubling over with lasagne lust at the mo. I still haven't really et solid food for a few days, and although I partly don't mind, I'm partly obsessed with the idea of lasagne. I have pasta sheets, probably mincemeat, lots of tomato product and the right seasonings. I might only need to buy cheese!

It's so hard to tell a critter that the recuperation they're suffering through is for a good thing.
Consuela, I'm sorry to hear it -- whatever the outcome, I wish you and TNG comfort.
Thanks, folks. She seems fine today; no accidents in the garage. (Although she did tear up the cushion I left with her, sigh.)
I have a Monday morning appointment with the oncologists. (Sorry, boss! Dog is more important.)
Hugs to both TNG and you, Consuela.
Mmmm, yummy meatloaf. Maybe some sort of sauce or gravy on it, but I've got my go-to meatloaf base. Next variant will have some spicy sausage cut into it.
Tonight: lisah and bob' & their CB, Magellan and The Professor (though she was freaked out by the interlopers, but the others put on quite the welcome) followed by EightBar@Atomic books for beverages, followed by FoodMarket for dinner and more beverages, followed by EightBar again before we came home to put Maria and mself to bed. Good night, great food and drink, fantastic company.
