Unexpected. But true. Doggy got Injured.
10 years ago
General
Nephew brought my dog in saying something was wrong. She was freaking out, drooling, unable to close her mouth, clicking teeth, and was just a basket case. Got her to the vet. Vet's doctor was in surgery. Recommended a clinic another ten minutes away. Got there, no problems. She was seen, and turns out...
...she had a fucking water bottle cap EMBEDDED in her soft palate. It was irritated, and sore, and she was just NOT happy. Mild sedative, some forceps, and POP! Out it came. Bloody just a tiny bit. So, we have a doped up dog, and a $402 Vet bill. <:( So much for computer this month, and the next gaming con in september, and new tires for the car...But our Doggy is okay and happily snoring and farting away in the bedroom.
My nephew is the root cause of it. He is sloppy, slovenly, stinky and just plain BLYEAH. He smokes pot non-stop all frickin' day now, and he an his friends littered our back yard with bottles of water, energy drinks, trash. And our dog loves to chew on the bottles. What if there was some pot residue? Or WORSE? In the bottle she chomped? Needless to say, we're making this an object lesson for him. Including a demand from Nynaeve and I that since he's working now, he helps pay off the vet bill. OR ELSE. His friends have already been banished permanently.
*sigh* It never rains, but it pours. I don't think asking for help will work. Situation's handled already. But the good thing is, thanks to Dutch, Brian Burke and a couple others, I have a lot of ideas now for my patreon, and am fleshing out how I want to set it up so that Nyn and I aren't completely overwhelmed, and we get some kickass stuff out to everyone we know loves our work. :) SO, not everything is bad, ya know? And Coco is gonna be fine and dandy, and life is gonna go on. Thanks all for letting me vent a little bit. Or a lot.

Good to hear the pooch will be okay. :)
Agreed too, on the tire thing along with Faeon. A little rain or standing water on the highway is a VERY terrible time to find you need tires....last year.
I'd ramble a line on the nephew but IRL calls, see you soon I hope, Mia?
She took the pills from Nyn's hand without needing wrapping up in bread, meat, or rice. O_O! Silly doggy. <:)
And as for the tires, it's no worries. Thanks to Care Credit, we are financing the vet bill. So that the nephew will handle it. >.> Without us telling him of course. *SNEAKINESS!* And the little extra he tosses us a month goes towards getting her a new bed, and us some sanity. SO....With lots of rubs and hugs from everyone, she'll be fine, I'll stop freaking out, and much happiness will ensue.
