At this point you may as well call that Moult Metropolis and charge tourists a $5 entry fee

Heck, I could fill pillows every day or 2 and sell them on I dunno, Etsy

To be fair i also thought it was the tip of a penis.
All penises are about the size of a baseball bat, no?

But most importantly, what are you doing to that poor keyboard @dionysus
Please be nicer to it, its not a sock.

lol, dog drool, the cat sleeps on it
I've had to learn so many KB shortcuts and learn to read the PC sideways when I wake up

Hope your ribs are getting better, folks dont realize how strong dogs are, consider mine to be big but probably only half the weight of your
monster.A few times i have been yanked hard in the opposite direction without warning and been lucky not to get a dislocation or worse.
Still got to love them though
Got an ordeal today,dogs not been well for a few weeks, vet said he had a chest infection with a touch of kennel cough,prescribed
antibiotics and antiflammatories.Seem to help at first but cough has come back worse.
Problem is that he really hates vets even since he was de nutted, took 3 of us to hold him on the last visit and he was screaming
as the vet took his temperature.Trying a new vet today, they suggested I took his temperature myself before taking him.
Had a couple of practice goes, he grumbled a bit but managed it, not always easy to see where it should go.

I mean these days, they can just press a thermometer against your forehead. Maybe see if Amazon carries them.
And ya, even my last doggo ripped out my rotator cuff yanking backways (that was ...geez.....6 mo of pain)

Hope your puppers is feeling better.

Fraid not hes going to the vet today for blood tests, very thirsty all the time and very chesty, antibiotics dont seem to help
so its some underlying condition.
Hes ok with me taking his temeprature and I have sedation meds to give him for his visit today.
Looked on amazon, the only external thermometers are for sticking in the ear and not very accurate, he is used to
me doing it the conventional way now

 

[shadow123]

Sedated him an hour before the appointment, wide awake all the time we were there, wouldnt let the vet take blood,
he is going to the vet hospital for tests week they will do it
Got back home , totally zonked out.

I....don't have the capacity to hate (I mean, I really dont think I do, dont currently, never have)
But...anger....frustration, yes.

So...angry...there's these cats sleep sleep in my garage.
Strays, ferals, ok.
But I KNOW these cats have homes.
But locked out all night, winters.
I ALWAYS leave my garage open 6 inches, sofa, food and water.
Sure, cats can be out. Mine goes out winters, comes in nights.
NOT all night in minuses (I KNOW, we find dead frozen cats, poor souls)
Anyway..here's one resident, friendly lil soul, wants scritches n scatches, blankets, food n water
(I cant adopt it, ive a cat eating dog...it is what it is, best I can do)

 

[dionysus]

Just a rant; I get a collection.
Anyone can say, enh, they want out.
If they wanted out all night, they wouldnt be here trynna stay warm is all

 

[dionysus]

Really...hitting a boiling point here. Just...basic...care...ya? Despite living 5 feet away, they live here.
Anyway, the other garage cat, just fed and watered it
(yes, yes, people have barn cats and mousers - these are just.....neglected)

 

[dionysus]

Little friend for Xan this Xmas (outdoor air blow plugin deco, got 2 of them, 3 and a half feet)
Wanted the 9' ..its freaking HUGE...but 200 bucks (maybe next yr)

 

[dionysus]

[Kroffe]

Looks pretty cool.
Question tho, what is that barrel thing Xan is carrying around his neck in the pic?

just somewhere to keep my booze at hand Winters be cold, man

 

[dionysus]

lol, I'm actually getting him a barrel next summer; holds a bottle and has a spigot
When we walk around the block we often stop by neighbours and chat, and I bring him to concerts in the park in the summer
*'oh looky, bottle right hereeeeeeee
Goooooooood puppy

 

[dionysus]

Happy kitty*, warm kitty*, purr purr purr
(*garage kitty)
Not...less angry, but less concerrned, it's got its warm, safe space, figured out the space heater we bought it last night and can get under blankets ... we gutted the garage, sofa at the back away from the wind and snow (yay, Dio's cat farm lol)

 

[dionysus]

 

[dionysus]

Not mine, but 'happy' garage kitties
Gave em both scritches and scratches, cookies, and they, well, wont share the heater, so some blankets

 

[dionysus]

Me thinks you are gonna need a bigger rug...

Sorry to hear you haven't been well. Hope you will be ok for Xmas.

 

[dionysus]

So, tried, both 'visiting' fur babies - they left; it...is what it is, they had safe spaces....bought them a heater in the garage, moved them inside, door open, they booked it (well, they were not my/outdoor cats.
Anyway....driving this week, we smoked a cat on the highway (wasnt driving). Man, killed me in my head. So, wasn't the driver, but figuring out a grand in vet bills this week. Poor little bugger, had to be euthanized; but hey, broke like for a joke this month, couldnt leave it there.
Otherwise, my my big stupido is happy

You are so lucky - red cardinals are considered a good omen. Unless they happen to be giving you the death stare.

 

[dionysus]

So.....apparently, and now I believe her, Saints have a purr.......just happy puppers.....not a snore, awake, just, snores awake, happy

No matter how loud Xan snores...sorry...purrs, even with his size, I bet he can't match the cat with the loudest purr in the world, measured at 68 decibels, and confirmed by the Guinness Book of Records.

Our cats, they’re brothers and also both exact opposites of one another.

One wants constant attention and affection, and the other wouldn’t even notice if all of humanity suddenly vanished
