So, Pirate has an appointment with the backup vet tomorrow morning. He's been vomiting and is dehydrated as well. Just what I frakking needed this week. My vet is away tomorrow and swamped thursday, they could've seen me friday morning, but that will probably be too late, so more expensive backup vet it is. He and I will be crashing at Vicky's ( Read more... )

We had to have Simba put down yesterday, around 1 in the afternoon. His blood test results came in showing complete kidney failure and some liver failure to boot. He had the worst results the vet had ever seen in a living animal, one result was 30 times the normal range; phosphorus which is worrisome at 3.5 was 13 something. There really was ( Read more... )

+ my tshirts came. They fit great and I look totally hot in Indeed- Daniel Jackson died. He was like 2 and a half, so it wasn't a surprise, but it still sucks ( Read more... )

So, I have a couple days off work, my goals for which are catching up on several shows. I am caught up on SG-1 (yesterday's big accomplishment) and the episodes were all really good. Very funny stuff even when moving forward the Ori plotline at a decent pace ( Read more... )

This is gonna make me sound like a horrible mother, but I am posting anyway. Yesterday, some unkown and sudden affliction hit my rats. In the course of one day, with nothing I could do to stop it, 3 of the ratties died very suddenly. Vala Mal Doran was first, then Samantha Carter and late at night, with Nathan standing watch (she was his) Lulu died ( Read more... )

went to feed the top cage girls today (my rats live in 4 cages, one on a high shelf) and didn't see Claire. This isn't unusual as you cannot see the bottom of three levels in that cage (at least not if you're as short as me). However when she didn't head uptairs for food, I craned my neck to see the cage floor, confirming what I had begun to dread ( Read more... )

Pippin died yesterday. (I wrote Mr. pippi longstockings died, then decided it was rude to make fun of someone in their obituary, and now I've gone and said it anyway.) He was one of my oldest rats. He and Merry were born January 18, 2 years ago. In two weeks his twin brother Merry (and sister Lennie) will be two and a half, which is fairly old as ( Read more... )

Daisy just died. Nathan was saying hello to Teal'c (everyone loves him, he's the cutest) and he noticed she wasn't breathing anymore. She at least seemed to be in less pain these last couple weeks, so I'm glad I didn't have her put down last month. I don't think I'll properly absorb it till I clean out the cage. I should do that now, and i'll have ( Read more... )

My TV is DEAD!! This to me is like the end of the world, only worse. Thank god it was only thursday and nothing but My Name is Earl was missed. And to think I started the day sad that SG 1 finished the season last week - if it had been on, I woulda missed it. Checked online classifieds, emailed two people about $60 used tvs, but both ads were from ( Read more... )
