Thanks! I feel so sorry for little Dudley. He can't help his raising.

And, the sun is shining, the birds are singing, all is right with the world. The little furry fiend is home and eating like a horse and feeling much better. Thank you so much for talking with me about it. *squeezes*

Thank you! I wasn't sure about the sticker; I'm thinking that x-rays aren't really labeled like that, but eh, it needed to be done.

So, yeah. I was thinking... (You like Dudley, don't you?) The poor kid. I mean, sure, he's a little bully and all, but he didn't ask for his parents to raise him spoiled and intolerant and without a healthy sense of responsibility and with a warped relationship to food.

And then some enormous, scary stranger zaps him and allofasudden he's got a tail, omg a TAIL wtf. And so he has to go to the hospital, and it's all scary and painful and embarrassing, and he probably can't sit properly, and there's probably a scar. And then he has to go off to school where the other kids are sure to make fun of his tail-stump, so he has to protect himself, and practice with his Smeltings stick, and get them before they get him, and never let 'em see him cry.

Awwwwww. :( Little Dudders!

[shaychana]

dude. you need to write a fic about that.

[gnatkip]

Well.

Somebody certainly should.

Ahem.

*hides behind big "What? Me? I'm no writer!" hat*

*pokes you*

And another thing? It's a very private part of his anatomy! And all this has happened at a critical point in his sexual maturity. I bet it colored his sexual development, way into adulthood.
