Oreo ate overnight! Yay! He has a slight fever so looks like he'll be discharged only this afternoon. Boo! But, and this is a very positive thing, we have a doughnut collar for him, and a flower one. WE ARE READY FOR HIS HEALING JOURNEY.

Visited with Oreo. He is high as f *ck but doing well. Got many hugs. He’ll sleep over at the vet’s and hopefully eat overnight. And then we will enlist him in rehab before he gets his brother into drugs.

Oreo was so distraught that he won’t be able to help build Can*Con name badges that be protested with a hairball blockage so bad he needed emergency surgery. He’s coming home later today, for which we are extremely grateful. There will be pics of Oreo in his fetching doughnut collar. Worry not.

ORPHANED CATS NEED FOREVER HOME IN NORTHEAST (PLEASE READ *ENTIRE* THREAD) My wife's childhood friend died Thursday, leaving his two *mildly* special-needs cats. The elder, Wally, is about 13. ABSOLUTELY affectionate cat; GLORIOUSLY dim. His only issue is that he poops in bathtubs if given a chance

THE PONY LOVING MONSTERS *ATE* HER! 😱😫😱 (Kerri’s cake of mascot Maple for the My Little Pony Extravaganza: pre and post vultures descending.)

A pony-shaped cake with white icing and red mane and tail, with small maples leaves as her rump symbol, on a silver shiny cake plate.

Crumbs and leftover red and white icing beneath an icing-bloodied knife, on the same silver cake platter. A horrendous slaughter.

Great Canadian musician with a great Canadian band. My sister in law attended a concert and picked up a copy of their album with the Guess Who. Best of all the cover was autographed by all members of both bands. And subsequently it fell into my hands (no idea how!)
