There’s one that keeps getting in the tub here. It’s pretty much reached the point that when I lay the towel over the side it doesn’t run away anymore, just scoots straight up the towel and away again. Then, a few days later, he’s stuck anew and the towel has to go back on the side.

Yeah we don't get venomous ones here. Just the pest eating kind. So I'll generally leave them alone or, if i have a way to transport them safely, I'll evict them. I've killed spiders before and felt guilty so I don't do that anymore.

“Man, what a day I had. In show and tell, this demon turned up. Brought in a one tonne Hellhound Pupper. It was still less of a disruption than Cadence McMahon and her ultra-rare Pokemon Go! find.”
“Oh my god! Are you serious? Which Pokemon did she have?”

I prefer spiders to literally everything they eat.

It’d be a toss up between a secular cemetary for the familiarity of dead folk everywhere, and a Ukulele Concert for the familiarity of the crushing sense of hopelessness and people who desperately want to be anywhere else.
Or probably a McDoalds. I mean, demon’s gotta eat.

That’s so sad, @Desiderius Price. I lost a cat to kidney disease last year. It was very sudden and ugly. Just one night she was her usual self, knocking shit off high places and enjoying terrorizing the dog, then the seizures hit and within one minute, she was suddenly, a weak, fragile little thing. Learned a lot about the empathy of my other animals that week. I feel for you. <3

Yay!

Yay!

Go for the trifecta: Watch the Weather Channel while drinking a bottle of Coke with your name on it.

Yay!

I’m very sorry for your loss, but it is good that she felt content with what she’d achieved prior to the dementia.

I don’t think it was the fireworks, really. I suspect it’s partly the hot weather, and partly an annual flare-up. When she was first diagnosed, it was right before the July 4 holiday, and we didn’t realize the phenobarbital we were administering orally wouldn’t build to a therapeutic level quickly enough. She started having clusters, and wound up nearly dying on us. Her last bad run of seizures, bad enough to put her in the hospital, was early September last year. 
What I want is someone to tell me cannabis oil works for canine epilepsy, too, and I’ll be at that damned dispensary so fast, I’ll break the sound barrier.
 

I hope she’s well soon.

Thank you, Des. She’s my sweet furry baby, and I miss her being under my feet.

I do understand.  The cat that passed liked to be under my feet too, still feels like that happened yesterday even though it’s been over three months going on four.

Our furry companions give us nothing but love, and ask for so little in return, really. We’re lucky to have them, even if never for as long as we would like. 

I hope she’s well soon.

I love parks, but not that close by on certain holidays.

I can’t stand how loud fireworks are. I really feel for the doggy. It really is anxiety provoking and can easily cause a panic attack. I hope your corgi gets better soon and that a trip to the hospital doesn’t end up being necessary. I think it’s be a good idea to have a talk with all your neighbors about taking their fireworks elsewhere and explain to them how it effects the poor pup if you haven’t done that.

Oh, gods, we have a huge park nearby and everyone goes there. It’s literally insane…
 

The vets where I live have been putting out a lot of dos and donts about dog cooling, and some people actually have to be told that when the fucking road is melting it’s a bad idea to walk a dog bare footed on it.
I hope she gets through it ok.
