Thank you!

Thank you so much

Lady MacB had a lot to answer for

Thank you. I appreciate that

Since many of you have asked: I've been in touch with the dog's owners, who are being reasonable about paying the vet bills. And I've been in touch with animal control. So that's all going alright.

Black and white picture of a britany spaniel with dark and white fur. In real life, she's colored liver (brown) and white. She's looking at the camera from over the edge of a large bean bag chair. Her eyes are glancing up at you, and her nose looks very kissable. That's not false advertising; it is kissable indeed. Her right ear is down, but her left one is raised a bit. Her expression is one of vague and undefined hope.

Pupdate: The spaniel is doing as well as could be hoped. Both she and I are kinda wiped out, tbh. Here's a picture of her on a better day, thinking about butter.

I wanted to take a moment to thank you all for your support & kind thoughts today. You're the best people, & I appreciate each of you.

Thank so. I really appreciate it

Thanks. I think it’s probably a bit of both

I really appreciate that

I have had smoked eel before, when people have given it to me. It was quite good. But modern smoking is different than medieval smoking, which left you with a less tasty fish

Thank you!

Thank you

Thank you!

Thank you!

though I’ve washed my hands
and can’t see it anymore,
my skin smells of blood

Thank you both!

Thank you so much

Thank you. A boring recovery would be good

Pupdate:

Out of surgery and very drugged, but she did well. She had a hole three fingers wide between two ribs. We’re gonna head home and I’ll keep an eye on her. Infection is a concern, but right now she’s as good as could be hoped for.

Thank you

Damn straight

Thank you

Its owner finally wrestled it back in the house (it didn’t have a collar). I’ll go back this afternoon to talk to him

Thank you

The vet was serious but not unduly concerned, so I’m leaning on that. Thank you

Thank you

Thank you

Thank you!

Thank you. It’s a stupid day

Thank you
