JULY 4 DOG PARTY! YESSSS!

[aen]

My large dog Akira got a nasty bite wound up at the cabin, so I came home on monday night. Slept in a few short bursts, between commanding her to "leave it!" as she licked and chewwed on the wounds. Tried my ass off to get her to eat or drink, to no avail. THEN she starts panting really fast, so I was about to bring her in for emergency care, but the dude on the Late Night Emergency Animal phone line told me I could give her a pain pil I had left over from another dog debacle. This seemed to help a bit, and I think I got a good solid hour of sleep.

Then on tuesday morning I took her into get fixed up, which left me with a little time to enjoy myself. I tried to whack off for a really long time, but I only lasted like ten minutes. I recorded a little music, but, oh darn, Ableton Live 7 is not quite compatible with my computer, so I cant export any audio.
Then I tried to nap, but the family needed updates on the dog, so the phone was a bleepin and a buzzin. Then I picked up the dog and a movie. I got the dog home and spent EVERY SECOND of the next two hours wrestling away from her STAPLES while she squeeled and bucked and shed like 20 pounds of hair. This was very upsetting to the cats, who nervously stalked around Yarling like they were in Creed.
FINALLY she laid down and gave me a few minutes. Then it was only about 50% of the time going "LEAVE IT!" Eventually I fell asleep again, and I think she did too, since the staples were all still in her side. the DRAIN however was spotless, so she must have been a lickin' that gross piece of shit.
So I can't leave the dog, she can't go anywhere, and we are still doing a lot of "LEAVE IT." I cant even rock this silly little mustang amp because the dog will wake up AND TRY TO PULL OUT HERE STAPLES AND BLEED TO DEATH BECAUSE SHE IS SO STUUUUUPIIIIIIIDDDD!

Sorry about the dog aen, they can be little shits about that stuff. Did they not give you the cone of "DON'T LICK IT DUMBASS"?

[aen]

yeah, but that created a TERRIFYING level of panic.

completely unrelated, but this is the first 4th of july thread i've seen. I hope your dog gets better Aen, and it's times like these we have to be patriotic and sing as Charlie Kelly did on Always Sunny.

Louis C K is the best comedian ever. That is extactly what is happening here. She has no fucking clue that she could have died. She just doesn't want her pills or her staples anymore.

there's nothing quite so delightful as trying to cope with a critter with an abcess that's draining. this used to happen to my boy kitty once every 18 months or so since there were so many other cats in the area. poor baby. and when they refuse the Cone of Shame it's SO hard to deal with it.

eeeee. i'm sorry guys. that's so hard. . i see lots of dog with cones and stitches at my work.... i feel like such an AWFUL person when you have to do something that hurts a dog to save it.

we had this awesome HUGE dog one time, great big goofy thing, and he got part of his paw stuck inside a metal crate. when i reached in to pull his paw out so he'd stop freaking out and not hurt himself he bit the shit out of my hand. got him free, he ran outside, poked his head in a little later and slunk over wagging like, "i am SO sorry. that HURT!!". made me feel like i was the asshole with my hand all bleeding and chewed up.
