Pet Peeves

[Carnage]

More than a pet peeve, really:

Rushed the dog into the vet's earlier as he'd collapsed and was barely breathing or responsive. Turned out to be a ruptured spleen, cue emergency surgery. Vet's optimistic but the next 24 hrs. will tell as he'd bled internally. He's 11 and other than a touch of arthritis, healthy.

Not sure how it happened, he was fine all day and not out of our sight for anything to happen. Probably a tumour, according to the vet it's the only other probable cause.

Still struggling with all of this. He had a reaction to one of the shots he got, to the extent that a large area of skin on his back essentially died, so his hair started falling out, sores developed and it started peeling. Two weeks on and an A4 sized area of skin has been removed and half of his back is an open wound. They've no idea what caused it - they say, they're gonna cover their arses either way - all they can do is dress it 'til it heals. Breaks my heart to see him so miserable.

Woke up to the phone call and seen it was a Dublin number so swiped the call off. But I lay there thinking 'why am I getting a call from Dublin this early on a Sunday morning?"
Straight away I got a text telling me to contact the bank as there had been suspicious activity on my account.
I think the bank doesn't release funds straight away anyway. The transactions are 'pending' which is good I suppose. Might have to wait a while for the funds to returned though.
Anyway, new card and PIN ordered and any shopping online from now on will be done on my Revolut card which will be topped up to the transaction amount each time.

Checked my bank account this morning and had the nice feeling of seeing those 8 hacked withdrawals reversed. Phew!
Anyway, as I said, it's Revolut for online purchases from now on.

Man that's terrible. The poor wee guy.
Hopefully he makes a good recovery. It's tough watching them suffer alright.

Jees the poor fella is getting a tough time of it...lets hope it settles down...

Cheers lads.

It's heartbreaking, but hopefully he'll come through it. Poor little fucker. Back to the vet in a couple of hours to have the dressings changed, hopefully it won't be as traumatic for him today. They knocked him out yesterday to clean it and remove the dead skin, he was out of it all night.

I had a rude awakening as an 11 year old with pets.
We had two sister black Poodles and one afternoon in the back yard my ma  asked me da to move his car so she could put up the clothes line.
He was working on a cunt of a job on the tractor we had for out timber business and he had a strop on moving the car up the yard, thus so hit the pedal harder than he should.
Poor wee Gwen was right in front of the car and got front and back passenger wheels over her torso and head. My older brother lifted her up and the poor wee divil performed the death rattle in his arms.
Horrible thing to witness....

Sorry about your dog lad. I'd gladly sacrifice both of my cats to Satan for him.

Work scheduling zoom meetings outside of working hours. Fuck off!

[Carnage]

Kurt: that's grim, lad.

He's much improved today, thankfully. The vet was happy with the healing progress on the wound. Fingers crossed it'll continue to go well.

Discogs sellers being less than honest about the item's condition.

Got a refund for this out of the blue, not so bad. Seller was German so there's something to be said for stereotypical efficiency.

Cling film. It clings when you don't want it to and gets a case of the slideys when you actually need it to work.

Pinched nerve in the back from overtraining. Horrible pain and pure debilitating. The physio will be fleecing me for the next while.

[Kurt Cocaine]

You sure it's not from carrying the weight of the world around on your shoulders pal?

[Caomhaoin]

It's a large quiver with harpoon like arrows of truth I carry around, and even though Chris is like a hedgehog with so many poking out of him, the balance is still a heavy load.

That fucking sanctimonious young one with the annoying fucking accent off the new Lyons tea add.
I hate that child, and I hate Lyons tea for introducing her into my life.

Barrys tea is nicer than Lyons by a mile anyway, perhaps Lyons should pay more attention to whats in the teabag than the bag itself, the cunts.

[open face surgery]

Barry is superior for sure.

Easier to lob a Lyons into the cup from across the room though.

Jaysus lads. Life's tough....
