Cunting fuck, Ms Remy got her cone off a second ago **again** and was licking the wound for idk how long.
At least we're almost 48 hours out from her spaying surgery, but damn it.
At most 30 minutes, but idk how long I was scrolling fucking setting spray on Boots.

How the hell do I keep her Cone of Spay (+2 HP regen) on?
'Cone of shame' feels rude. It's not shameful to get medical care, nor to prevent unplanned pregnancies you can't care for properly.

Tasmanian landlords can't have a 'no pets' rule anymore. Here's how it works
By Meg Whitfield and Monty Jacka

Under the updated legislation, landlords now need a "reasonable" rationale to say no to a tenant having pets — and that reasonableness can only be decided by an independent tribunal.

🧵 Still Here 2/2

Now she sleeps on a heat pad,
covered by my shirt —
a familiar scent she’s claimed.

She shares the heat lamp
with her bearded dragon brother,
two unlikely souls
basking in warmth and stillness
keeping me company.

I bring her her water bowl
when she can’t get up.
Support her body
as she walks to the food bowl
or the litter box.
Clean her wounds with saline,
give her daily meds,
and whisper love into her fur.

I surround her with crystals,
Speak words of thanks,
thinking thoughts of healing.
Remembering the love and laughs
while I am breaking and holding,
mourning and loving,
all at once.

Still here.
Still her guardian.
Still loving each moment together.
