... when the pug in the cone decides to try to figure out how to drink water out of a bowl. Half a roll of paper towels down...

Yeah, it may be twelve days of handfeeding unless I can figure out the perfect size of bowl that she can't make a mess of.

If it were just the dog getting messed, fine, but I would prefer not to have a quart of water soaking into the hardwood floors.

I saw these Elizabethan collars that can be worn backward or forward for small dogs or cats that I thought looked like a good idea.  The were for sale at Petcetera here, not sure if they're easy to find where you are, or how effective they are.  The packaging showed an option where the collar could be worn with the cone backward, over the shoulders instead, which would work only with the right sort of leg to body ratio I guess.  I came home one day to find that my cat had puked in his standard Elizabethan collar when he had surgery, and thought this would have been a kinder solution if I ever need to put him in one again.

Those are nice, as are the balloon-like ones, but in this case unfortunately, along with being prevented from scratching her eye, she also needs not to be able to rub her eye on anything else, like the furniture etc.  So none of the other options is possible.  I swear she was actually managing to rub the side of her eye on the collar itself, but at least that's all she can do.

The vet put a stupid -face flower sticker on the damn thing too. I'm trying to decide whether to cover it up by sacrificing my last Achewood "What the hell, people" sticker.

Oh, and I totally Harbaughed at a dude at work yesterday, thar was embarrassing.

You called him a jive-turkey gobbler?

Ugh.  Indignity upon indignity.  Tragic pug is tragic.

I wouldn't waste a quality, now possibly irreplaceable sticker on something that is hopefully quite temporary like this.  I might purchase a less fabulous sticker for the same purpose though.

You're probably right. I wouldn't need to buy one, though. Maybe a Wigu "I am made of poison" would make her feel tough? Or maybe I can just amuse myself by using this sticker from Hellbender Burritos.

I'm a jerk and I would probably just put masking tape over it then use a sharpie and write "Tragic" on it with an arrow pointing at the saddest of eyes.

I'm not sure if I mentioned it here, but my dog, Morty, has recently decided he likes to go into my work bag, but only when no one is around.  I used to always carry an apple in my bag, just to have something to munch on.  This never interested him, so for at least two years, I would always have an apple in my bag (unless I had taken it out and eaten it, but hadn't gotten around to replacing it), and never really think about it.  Then one day I came home and my bag was lying on it's side and the paper towel I wrapped the apple in and the stem were all that was left.  Morty had eaten my apple.  The entire thing.  So I stopped leaving apples in my bag, and I would instead leave them on my desk at work, but this caused the animals brain to decide bags =good things to eat in side.  First I would come and find the contents of my bag pulled out and scattered on the floor (nothing harmed though).  My husband left his lunch bag sitting out (again, never used to be an issue) and Morty got in there at ate some almonds and a pudding cup.  I put a banana in my bag once about ten minutes before leaving in the morning recently and ran upstairs to get something, came down, like 5 minutes later, and there was a torn up bannana peel on the rug and a dog trying to look non-chalant.  So I decided, okay, no food whatsoever in my work bag (it's like a portable file bag, way too heavy to hang up).  I came home last week and he had gotten out the inner zip lock bag I had in there that contained sexual health education pamplets and condoms.  Thankfully he has a clear understanding of food vs non-food stuffs, so the flavoured condoms had been tested, but not eaten.

I'm sure you'll all be pleased to know that I hung a picture today, two inches lower than my original plan.

Excellent.

That awkward moment when you try to make plans with someone because you have a surprize for them, only they cancel.  Then you reschedule, and they cancel, and again, and again, and by the time you finally make plans to meet up, you are so frustrated with them for drawing it out, that you want to yell at them instead of giving them a nice surpize.  I've been trying to see my BFF since I got back from Tokyo in October, but she's canceled over and over again due to reasonable circumstances such as severe illness, but it's fuckin' December you know?  Like she couldn't have made a little time over the last three months?  Anyway, we're supposed to see each other on Friday, but she's getting back to me with the time...  If she flakes again... ah who am I kidding, I love her and I will tolerate her bullshit and she knows it.  Damn. 

[wombat]

No, no, if she flakes again, you should take what you bought her in Tokyo and send it to ME.

PS: I also just hung a poster that I put in the space the other picture was moved from, and it's only six inches above the furniture. Well, above the computer printer, anyway.

That awkward moment when you are friended by two friends of friends of FB, and you are pretty sure you've never met them IRL...  but what if you did, or what if they have a business proposition for you? 

[Arachno-capitalist]

Or what if they saw you in a tagged picture and wanted to check out  some more of what the hot mama has to offer?

What he said.

Well, one is a sexy lesbian friend of my sexy lesbian friend, so that is entirely possible (I looked at her pics and was all "yum!").  The other is a dude who looks like an old-time-y prospector, and is a writer friend of a writer friend I know who lives in the wilds of a rural mountain area.
