MLK/Inauguration

[smock]

Good morning TIP! So who's working today? Who has the day off? Who's gonna watch the Inauguration?

I'm working from home, but I'm planning to take an Inaugural lunch break.

I'm working on and off (from home). I need to pick up the house a little and do some laundry. Oh, and bake a cake tonight.

Flapjack has majorly regressed in his progress, so we might also have a vet visit in our future. Yay...

Good morning, fearless mod!

I'm an off today. Have a doctor's appointment so I can get my IUD ripped out of my vag. Fun times. Then off to meet a friend for lunch. Then mattress shopping. I only have 1 bed in my house right now and my mother informed me that she is planning on sleeping over the night of my surgery. Again, fun times.

How so?

ETA: stoopid new proboards. How has he regressed?

Bully, I've had an IUD removed before. It's really not too bad, much easier than insertion! I hope it goes smoothly for you!

Point your mom to the couch. I'm mean like that.

Glad to hear that out is better than in!

Eh, I was going to buy a new mattress with my tax return because mine is 11 years old. I figured that I will just get it a little sooner than I planned. Plus my mom is 72 and has health issues so I'd feel like a jackass making her sleep on the couch. She wanted me to come sleep at her house and I was all "aw, hell no!"

I'm working. No day off for me. Blerg.

[bowies]

He's been refusing food and visibly shaking in our presence. He's also been sleeping in his crate at night, which he hasn't done since the first night we brought him home.

I don't know where his fear is coming from. Nothing out of the ordinary has occurred (that I know of). The last night he ate normally was the night we gave him his heartworm medication, but he hasn't vomited, had loose stools, or any other physical signs of distress. The only thing he'll eat right now is a homemade turkey/rice mash, heated up in the microwave, and only after a long walk.

He's got his Thundershirt on again, but I don't see a decrease in his fear. I wish he could tell us what's going on.

[bowies]

Dupe.

Poor Flapjack. Hopefully you can figure out what's wrong.

No day off for me A lot of people are back in the office after a conference last week. Makes me sad I can't fart whenever I want.

How old is Flapjack? I remember our trainer talking about different fear stages as dogs grow up; one of her dogs suddenly became terrified by every trash can that he would flip out. Hopefully a visit to the vet will help!

And Bully, good luck with the mattress; you're a good daughter.

[bowies]

He's about 3, but he had a rough start to life. It took him a while to grow lukewarm to us, and now he's back to acting like we're Enemy #1. We haven't raised our voices or accidentally tripped over him or anything. He's such a weirdo.

Poor guy.

I'm off today, and hanging at a local coffee shop right now. Talked about music with one of my favorite baristas and the music on right now is White Stripes. I love this place!

In a little bit, I'm going to pick up my friend for brunch and will then probably wander around taking photos because the area we're going is gorgeous. It's so beautiful and peaceful there. I'd share a photo if I weren't on the app.

[maucat]

Also, bowies, I'm sorry to hear about flapjack's trouble. I hope you're able to get some answers from the vet. It sounds like a crappy situation for all of you.

Bully, good luck mattress shopping! Bargain them down! Be ruthless!
