Canine Flu

[ask_aboutcoffee]

I often bring Max up to keep me company while I muck out Myfanwy's nest, since he helps tidy away any little scraps of offal that she may have missed. It keeps her occupied if she has something other than me to play with while I'm putting down new straw and sprinkling some grit for her

If Jack starts Freaking The Fuck Out maybe I'll just tell him to come put his hands in my nice, warm pockets.

It works for me.

[ask_aboutcoffee]

It's a PLAN!

[gwen_e_cooper]

As long as it's NOT MY PURSE.

[ask_aboutcoffee]

I'm afraid I make no guarantees, Cooper.

[oh_doask]

MAX?

MAX?!

WHERE DID YOU TAKE HIM?

WE HAD A DATE TODAY!

[ask_aboutcoffee]

He was not feeling well and he's gone to the vet's, so your imaginary date will have to be put on imaginary hold.

[oh_doask]

He was fine this morning!

I was playing Chewtoy with him THIS MORNING!

[ask_aboutcoffee]

He's fine now! Just feeling a little down. He'll be back tomorrow and --

STOP CHEWING ON HIS CHEW ROPE.

[inquireof_liz]

I do so hope he's feeling better tomorrow! Be sure to send word. I'll have my own vet standing by in case of emergency.

(You'll like her. She keeps my own darlings in good health. Jack likes her already.)

[ask_aboutcoffee]

I'll certainly keep you updated, ma'am, and your standby veterinarian is a welcome thought, thank you.

(Jack generally likes people who are kind to animals. Or, well, breathing.)

[ask_captainjack]

Are you talking about Allison? Tall Allison?

Is she any good???? I mean, I know she's GOOD good, but is she good with dogs!?

[inquireof_liz]

She's very good with dogs. Do you think I'd trust my joys to just anyone?

Allison says "Hello" btw. She's looking forward to your next powerpoint presentation. I don't recall, what was the topic, Jack? Galactic STDs? Weren't you bringing your colleague Captain Hart along to help?

(Try to think of something else, dear. It makes the time go faster. Before you know it, Theresa will be healthy again and back in the arms of his loving family. Maybe you should go shopping. Pick up something special for Theresa? You always send me something when I'm sick.)

[morbid_sparks]

*giggles* you're very sweet, Ianto.

I'm sure Max will be fine. And many pet owners develop such symptoms. My evil, world-dominating cat has clearly tricked me into missing her if she has to go elsewhere in order to get something out of me - whether an extra dish of milk, or transportation to Cardiff to take over the Hub...

[ask_captainjack]

ARE YOU SERIOUSLY COMPARING YOUR CAT TO THERESA!?

THAT'S LIKE COMPARING A CAT TO SOMETHING AWESOME.

[morbid_sparks]

Calm down, I'm not comparing my cat to Max. I'm comparing the ability of small furry creatures to cause their human companions to worry about them despite the obvious evil tendencies of said small furry creatures.

[ask_captainjack]

THERESA IS NOT EVIL.

AND I AM NOT WORRYING.

I'M FREAKING THE FUCK OUT.

It's different. My elbows are shaking. I put four holes in the Tourist Office door (with my boot).

[ask_captainjack]

HOW CAN I NOT FREAK THE FUCK OUT?
I don't even understand that option Ianto!

How much longer can I keep pacing like this?

WHY DON'T THEY HAVE A CAMP COT FOR PARENTS AT THE VETS?

Why did you drag me out of there? They looked willing to let me stay when I pulled out the gun!

[gwen_e_cooper]

Just because you're freaking the fuck out is no reason to unplug the LIVEJOURNAL, Jack.

What was that all about?

[ask_captainjack]

I fell asleep on the cable. I thought I was blocking Twitter. They should mark these fucking cables more clearly!

[ask_arealdoctor]

Twitter is down, too, it seems. What have you been up to, Jack?
