Fuck. He rebounded well after the Cerenia injection and was doing pretty well yesterday, but my wife just called and he's drooling excessively and shivering. And won't really move. She's taking him back now. Fuck.
Oh no - keep us updated. Sending all the good vibes to Crosby.

Today Rocket had his second femoral head ostectomy to treat his severe hip dysplasia. It's been almost exactly a year since the operation on his other hip and while he sometimes limps on that side, he doesn't have a pain response there anymore. Hopefully we'll see the same thing on this hip once he recovers. Hip pain or not, he was excited enough about the snow to bound around in it last week. He also sends yellow lab healing vibes to @Sbbruin's Crosby.

We were in a deep freeze for a goddamn week and then the day after it warms up I got itchy eyes and started sneezing like a mofo. Looks like cedar was low today but most places weren't recording counts for the last week, so I'm guessing it was a bit of cedar yesterday? I mean, come the fuck on.

Good boy, Buddy!

Samson has been getting up a few times a night with the shits for three nights. Can I just do the chicken and rice diet and see if he improves or is it time to go to the vet? He seems otherwise normal.
Yeah I'd get him checked out. They can ID what's going on pretty quickly with a stool sample, and if it's something like giardia you'll want him on meds asap because it can take a while to knock out.

Exactly. If he couldn't be troubled earlier today to tweet something, he's sure as shit not gonna call together a press conference. I mean, he gave that half-ass Rose Garden chat which went nowhere fast. Twitter was the only viable way for him to realistically reach his crew tonight. But that's gone now.
Speaking of all that...where the fuck is Kayleigh tonight?
Earlier she was on Twitter saying Trump had authorized the National Guard. I believe the sec of defense has since confirmed that Pence authorized the Guard, not Trump.

I succumbed to the siren song of beautiful weather and sat outside for lunch on Monday. I've done a lot of dumb stuff in my life but that was up there. Yesterday was brutal, too. Here's hoping we get a brief respite today with the rain and that molds don't get too crazy while cedar is down.

My god, I am so sorry. I (and I'm sure others here) would love to do something in her honor at some point, like order her favorite Whataburger meal or something like that. And of course, if there is any other way we can help you and your family, please let us know.
To Sarah.🤘

Gillian Anderson(sp?), Scully from X files does an accent thing too. She grew up both in London and the US. She would start speaking with a British accent while there and then an American while in the States and does it unconsciously. I guess to better assimilate. But she is an actress so that ability served her very well. She was a superb Margaret Thatcher.
She talks about this in a recent Fresh Air - she was born in the US but moved to London when she was a baby and she lived there till she was 14, then moved back to the US. She said she switches back and forth depending on who she's talking to sometimes but I get the impression she's more comfortable with the British accent for every day. Hilaria Baldwin's actions, though, seem much more intentionally deceptive.

I could feel it coming on yesterday. Woke up with a sore throat and sneezing/stuffiness today and sure enough, cedar's high. Here we go.

Mine is 12 and is reading Pet Sematary. I warned him to just make sure to put a few hours between reading it and bedtime. I mean, I still won't read it near bedtime. The Stand is my favorite SK book and if he's up for it I'm fine with him reading it if he wants.

Being an austin-based company, I know a few people that work for SolarWinds. Probably not going to be a good week for them (or their stock).
Yeah I know a bunch too. Shitty times for sure.

Just started this. I loved Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell so I'm hoping this is on par.

Did you read Pillars of the Earth? I enjoyed that trilogy, as well as his Fall of Giants series, and am wondering if this compares.

Michael Cohen is obviously a lying piece of shit, but one thing that struck me from his testimony was when they asked why he was bothering to turn on Trump at that point and he said something about it being because he'd been convinced that if Trump wasn't re-elected there was no chance of there being a peaceful transition of power. I doubt that that was his entire motivation, but I remember hearing it and getting chills because I was sure he was telling the truth about that part. And here we are.

Trump will never, ever resign. I believe that with every fiber of my being.

Went for a normal run this morning with Kora, my 3 year old border collie (picture over the last few pages). We were attacked by a loose dog about 1.5 miles in to the run. Large 80 pound chow mix is what I think it was. No owner in sight, no collar or tags.
Called animal control. Wife came and picked us up. Kora is doing ok, took her to the vet and got her shaved a bit, antibiotics and pain meds. They also cleaned out the wounds really well and we will monitor for infection. She’s got two teeth punctures (one on each hip) and she’s walking around like a 90 year old woman. She’s up to date on her rabies vaccine which is good.
Working on tracking down the owner of the dog. I’m heading to the pound at 5 to see if it’s been picked up. I’m being checked out by an urgent care as I have a pretty bad cut on my right calf that may require stitches. If it’s from a mouth, I may have to get the rabies shot. When that dog came at my dog, I did everything in my power to protect her. She’s my buddy. No running for her for a month. That will probably hurt her feelings more than the fight she got into.
Oh my god, I'm so sorry and glad you and Kora are ok. So you were able to subdue the dog and keep it there till animal control got it? I carry pepper spray for stuff like this.

Beautiful pup.
Granted I don't know much about the service animal process but it's shameful that a family would have to raise money just to be put on a list for a service dog.
I only know about the service they used (4 Paws for Ability) but I believe it cost them $17k. It's a lot, and certainly out of reach for many people, but the price doesn't surprise me considering that it takes two years to train them. This is a video they did about the process.

My friend and her husband adopted a special-needs baby at birth - his mom was on drugs and he has a seizure disorder caused by schizencephaly. Two years ago they were able to raise enough money to get on a list for a service dog for him, and today he and the other kids placed with dogs from this training group got to meet their dogs! The agency recorded all the kids and their families as they met their pups so if you want to tear up and/or forget about election stuff for a while, here's the video: https://fb.watch/1w0lvKLgHq/
These dogs have been training with the service dog agency since they were puppies and it takes about 2 years for them to be ready. This is Al:
