...or, Dog vs. Broken Glass, episode 468.
The next time I see those fucking teenagers who use my dog park as an underage drinking hangout and leave their fucking broken alcopop bottles everywhere, I'm going to drag them out of the park, break those bottles into tiny sharp pieces and make them fucking well eat them.
This is the second time in three months I've gone to the vet with a profusely bleeding, distressed dog and left the surgery distressed and dogless. It's the Captain this time, with a nasty, deep cut on the underside of his right wrist, right under the little fourth pad. It didn't bleed quite as much as Squishy's leg did (when was that? November, early December? Not bloody long ago, anyway) but it was enough to leave bloody prints on the pavement walking home and blood on the carpets before I slapped a bandage on it - and enough for the vet to advise sedation and suturing. So I've had to leave Spike there... fortunately, it was early in the day, he hadn't eaten since last night and they don't have many patients in, so they're doing it today and I don't have to spend the night without him.
Of course, these things always happen on a weekend or when I have somewhere else I'm supposed to be. Last time I was supposed to be at a recruitment evening at Sainsbury's - today I was supposed to visit
watervole - which, (unlike Sainsbury's) I was really looking forward to. Bugger, bugger, bugger!
Aaaand the really fun part is yet to come - attempting to keep the Evil Bugger quiet and on restricted exercise for the next ten days... *whimper*
Edit: Two hours later, he's back. He's very stoned and sorry for himself... the first thing he did when he got home was stumble upstairs to find the cat and collapse next to her. She rubbed her face on him and licked him... very sweet and touching.
I think I might get drunk now... *growl*
I knew that...
Star Trek, Miranda, anti-war protests and the Beach Boys - an interesting year!
Heh!
