Anyone heard of Ellora's Cave? Thoughts, feelings?
I neglected to pimp my gift at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
hpvalensmut which I totally thought I had. I blame exhaustion.I also hope that the artist forgives me. Making up by Anonymous FOR NOW and it's Dean/Seamus. It's a funny cute sketchy sort of artwork that has voyeur!owls, a nod to Dean/Luna, fighting, make-up kissing and sex and loads and loads of possessive MINES and KISSES. Did I mention there was kissing? Cause there is. I'm in love with this as it's a really fun piece. Go heap love on the artist, plz?
Valentine's Day was a day filled with good news all around. I don't give a piss about Valentine's Day as I feel it's a made up holiday marketed merely to make people spend money to prove something that they should show on a daily basis or make single people feel awful because they're single. I'm blissfully single, especially after the last dating debacle. Instead, I had a brilliant lunch, fantastically productive meetings with my coworkers (unlike Wednesday's meetings), and an awesome Philly cheesesteak where the owner gave me strawberries because I'm cute *BEAMS*.
rs_games is looking to be fun. hd_worldcup is going along swimmingly. Am awaiting the flood of entries for slashfest because omg, so many outstanding stories.
I'm rather inspired by this remus/sirius artwork as it's so lovely. Someone convince me to write what's due instead? Plz?
Had a vet visit for Cisco and Nala today. Cisco has a growth in his inner thigh that the vet suspects is cancerous (she gave me 50/50 odds). So we went over what to expect before and after the surgery and all the various dangers during the surgery. Cisco's going to be twelve this year and I'll have had him for 11 years on April 15th. There's always a chance, a chance that's much more prevalent in older dogs like Cisco, that they just won't wake up after the surgery. Add in that one of the things that the vet has experienced first hand is that a dog with a deteriorating sense sometimes wakes up and that sense is gone completely. She's had dogs that were heading towards deafness wake up deaf. So, since Cisco is losing his vision, I'm now worried that he'll be completely blind when he wakes up. I don't know how he'd deal with sudden blindness. He gets depressed if things change on him (like a food change or if someone goes on vacation for a bit or when I started working at Fry's or whatever. He really doesn't like change and he gets lethargic and doesn't eat and yadda yadda wibble wibble.
The vet very kindly gave me a tour of the surgery suite and it's really high tech. There's all sorts of monitors and stuffs. They also do gas anesthesia instead of the injections that some vets still use. I'm rather confident in the vet's skill, too. The vet office I go to is a husband/wife team and they're really rather brilliant. They're very into homeopathic natural remedies and aren't a surgery first sort of clinic. So, it's got to be rather serious that surgery was the first thing that came out of the vet's mouth. (Almost literally. She felt the lump and went "we're going to need to get this out. I'll talk to you about surgery in a minute")
The vet techs are also awesome. A friend's fiance works there and he's promised to call me with updates throughout the day. Like when Cisco goes in for surgery, when he comes out, when he starts to wake up and all that.
I'm trying not to wibble but everytime I think about it, I tear up. I'm not ready to lose him. He's my baby. We've been through so much together and he has YEARS yet. I don't want to let go and I'm blocking the idea that it could be cancer. Instead, I'm concentrating on these random assumptions that I have about tumors and ignoring any of the bad stuff.
I'm a lot wibbly so if you guys could keep him in your thoughts, I'd appreciate it. The surgery is on the 26th of February. It's also 400 bucks so there goes what I've saved for Terminus but Cisco really needs this growth removed. It's huge, too. It's his entire inner thigh. So, we're obviously going with the surgery and if that means no trip, that means no trip. Cisco comes first, there's no ifs ands or buts about it.
I know this is going to sound harsh but - I also do NOT want to hear "my dog had cancer and this is what happened" scenarios. I've seen animals with cancer. I've had animals with cancer. I know what it can mean. Seriously, just keep him in your thoughts and that's enough.

That's rough news about Cisco. I hope things go well.
no subject
I'm trying to keep positive about it. He's completely unaffected by it so I'm trying, too.
Thank you *loves*

He's not at all affected by it, like he doesn't lick it or anything so idk, I'm hoping that it isn't anything big. *clings to naivete*

Will do if I need anything :D.

I'm sorry about your puppy. I know you don't know me, but my thoughts are still with you and your wee one.

I've seen you commenting on
Ohh, I'll have to check her out and see what she thinks of it!
T-minus less than a week and counting before the surgery so I'm just keeping those rose-tinted glasses on for the surgery bits.

I think what you meant to say is that you saw me wandering around the fandom, wearing my I Heart Kaalee sandwich board and ringing my bell, yes?
no subject
I'm the one in the "Kaalee Saves" sandwich board that's on the opposite corner. We should get together and share notes. *nods*
no subject
I've got pamphlets.

All I have is a giant bullhorn in which I yell out about the beauty of kaalee. And a lobster costume.

Though having it underneath is fairly funny. Can't you just see a square-ish lobster walking down the street? Ok, so maybe I do have it under there. Don't make fun of me! It's a unique look, darnit!

She's very good at the whole "patpat-whatever you say" sort of thing. Cause she's used to the random things that entertain me.

T-minus less than a week and counting. GAH. I just had to cash out PTO so that I have money for it.
