I had quite a long stint behind the computer today, and #Lúthien had to stay in her cage for quite a long time.

So, to make it up to her, I let her out a bit longer this time. And look where she ended up: on my lap, this place where I want her most 😍

I'm letting her sleep there till she wakes up, or when my knees break, whichever comes first.

The leg seems to heal just fine, I'm calling the #vet next week to hear what he has to say.

Another Crazy Day

Hope you are all having a happy, fascism-free Tuesday.

I was having a calm, yet somewhat productive day today. The minute I finished lunch all hell broke loose. It became a crazy, hectic, tense, productive day. You know how it is.

Now I am about 20 minutes away from the end of my work day and hopefully things are calming down. Everything seems covered at the moment. Breath in, breath out. You’ve got this, Robert.

I have half a personal day booked for tomorrow. Robin the Cat has a vet appointment. Just her annual check up. I have meetings booked all afternoon though, so it’s going to be busy tomorrow too. At least I’ll have three episodes of Star Wars Andor to plow through before the work day starts. They come out at 9:00 Eastern time tonight. I am ready. There was a new episodes of The Handmaids Tale over night last night. I watched it while doing my morning exercise today. It was excellent. Here’s hoping Andor holds serve on the which-show-about-people-fighting-fascism-is-more-awesome sweepstakes. At this point it’s anyone’s game.

Oh good. 10 minutes away from quitting time and it just started to rain. It’s freakin’ pouring out. Good, good.

Y a des situations de maltraitance et de souffrance qui ne sont pas descriptibles.
Oh, je pourrais vous raconter. Je trouverais les mots qu'il faut. Mais je ne le souhaite pas.
Ces cicatrices là, je vais me les réserver.
Je voudrais juste une batte de baseball. Je crois qu'on m'avait un jour collé une dissertation du style : "existe-t-il une violence légitime ?".
A l'époque je n'avais jamais été confronté à a ça.
Ça fait 35 ans que je maîtrise ma colère, et ma violence.
Y a des fois où le bouillonnement est insupportable.

Tiens on m'avait jamais fait l'ingestion d'avocat.
D'abord, il faut savoir qu'un avocat c'est très indigeste. Demandez a @athenavocat ou @bricablog .
Ensuite, c'est toxique. Famille du laurier, dose toxique inconnue, toxicité cardio respiratoire de très mauvais pronostic.
Ensuite, les grands chiens qui avalent le noyau tout rond, comment dire : ça bouche les tuyaux.
Là j'ai eu (et elle aussi) de la chance, ça n'a donné qu'une gastro entérite bien cognée.

People in Swansea say their pet is the love of their life – but experts say we’re missing crucial factors to keep them healthy

A study commissioned by MyPet.com surveyed cat and dog owners living in Swansea and discovered 100 percent think of their pet as one of the loves of their lives, while 50 percent see them as their child.

In fact, people in Swansea love their pets so much that, according to the survey, they shell out £1,812 a year on toys, treats, food and day care for their beloved animals but whilst pet owners are ready to splash the cash to show their pets how much they’re loved, many pet owners are leaving their pets vulnerable by lapsing on yearly vaccinations — which cost around £60-75 — and missing regular veterinary health checks.

Industry figures show that 58% of dogs and 72% of cats across the UK haven’t been protected with annual vaccinations in the last year, while as many as one in ten (10 percent) of pet owners in Swansea in the MyPet.com survey admit that they only take them for a check-up when they’re unwell, while 20 percent said they haven’t had their pet vaccinated for over a year.

Veterinary experts are warning pet owners in Swansea of the dangers of lapsed vaccinations which can put pets at risk of contracting and transmitting serious illnesses during everyday life. This warning comes as 70 percent of pet owners in Swansea admit that their pet often drinks from muddy puddles, 50 percent bring home presents like mice and birds, 60 percent drink from water bowls in public spaces, and 20 percent regularly use doggy daycare, kennels or pet sitters.

Not only can these activities leave pets susceptible to diseases like leptospirosis and parvovirus if they are left unvaccinated, but they can also result in hefty bills if your pet becomes seriously unwell.

Three in ten (30 percent) of pet owners in Swansea say they have been forced to pay for an unexpected or emergency vet bill which could have been prevented with routine annual vaccinations. These visits have amounted to as much as £408 each time because pet owners delayed, or actively avoided, taking their pet to the vet (60 percent) due to concerns around the initial cost or because (70 percent) are in the dark about what vaccinations actually do.

Leading veterinarians are urging pet owners in Swansea to rethink their approach to showing their dogs how much they are loved by prioritising preventative care, explains Dr James Greenwood.

The veterinary expert shared: “This research confirms what we as vets encounter every day with our patients — many pets suffer unnecessarily from illnesses that could be easily prevented with a simple annual vaccination. Vaccinations and regular health assessments not only save lives but can also reduce stress and financial strain for pet owners.

“Whether pet owners are struggling to understand their options when it comes to vaccinations or are concerned about the cost, I’d always recommend talking to their vet about the treatments on offer as well as the payment plans that are available.”

Additionally, Rebecca Keseru, Veterinary Advisor at MSD Animal Health warns of the dangers of failing to get your pet vaccinated annually: “Vaccinations are essential part of keeping our pets healthy. Not only, along with a yearly health check, do they help protect from life-threatening diseases like canine parvovirus and feline panleukopenia, but they can also help owners avoid costly medical treatments in the future.”

“Sometimes people assume pets only need vaccines when they are young, but dog and cat vaccinations do not last a lifetime, so our pets need regular boosters throughout their lives to remain protected.”

Vets (100 percent), veterinary clinics (30 percent), websites (70 percent), family (30 percent) and friends (20 percent) are the main sources of information when it comes to our pet’s health, along with other owners (10 percent).

Amid these concerning statistics, experts urge pet owners in Swansea to act as by prioritising preventative care, so pets can live longer, healthier lives and avoid unnecessary nights in hospital.

Very happy that #Lúthien doesn't seem to be in pain after her massive #surgery on tuesday, see this post (in #Dutch).

She's very unhappy if I put her into the cage, but I have to: if she exerts too much force on her hind leg, chances are the whole construction will break. That would mean the entire leg will have to be amputated.

So I let her out as much as I can. I abandoned the desktop PC I use for work, because that's on the second floor. I work on my laptop now, in the living room. She loves to be with me.

The #crowdfund I started to pay the huge #vet bill is here:

One small bit of positive family news today, was that I registed Kit the new Cat with the vet that we know & trust.

They were wonderful when we had Bob (the old cat) put to sleep and we've used them for many years.
We were worried about being able to use them because last autumn we knew they weren't takin on new patients - but there was no problem today.

Phew!
