Ya'll wish me luck.

I got a second job interview with the largest independent textbook publisher in America!

Good luck!! I'd ask what you do but it might give away too much IRL info?

Not too much. I'm getting my Masters in Publishing with a concentration in Technology and Design.

I'm absolutely heartbroken. We had to have my 5.5 year old cat put to sleep tonight. She had been suffering for a short time with what we think may have been a form of lymphoma. She kept losing weight and was severely anemic and dehydrated no matter what we did to help her. My husband will be burying her beside her "brother" who we had to have put to sleep in 2012 due to a skin condition and a staph infection. I don't know if I can have another cat, like...ever. I'm trying to be strong so my emotions don't affect Jacob, but it's so hard. It's so unfair.

I am so sorry. The loss of a fur baby is just so hard. Watching them suffer and choosing when to let go takes immeasurable strength.

Have you seen this? No matter what you believe, it's a nice thought.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I know right now it seems like you'll never want a pet again, but give it time. The years of love and joy you get with them mean so much more than the pain of losing them. We just lost our 11 year old boxer to brain cancer last year. It's a special kind of pain to lose a family pet. But just try to remember all of the amazing time you had with them and the love that you guys shared.

I'm sorry for your loss hun. Find ways to remember the joys of your beloved pet the best you can. My husband and I had to put our 2yr old dog to sleep due to blastomycosis awhile ago. He was our first pet together, and we still keep his collar, leash, and tags hanging in plain view. I understand how devastating this feels for you. *hugs*

So sorry Jo. currently going through the same. I inherited my brother's Doberman puppy in his divorce. Just before her first bday she started losing weight rapidly and got lethargic. Stopped eating. Took her to the vet, they gave her meds. Didn't help. Took her back, more meds. She got worse and we hospitalized her for about a week and found she's in liver failure. She has continued to get worse. She was having good days but not anymore. She's gained some weight back and is eating and drinking and using the bathroom outside. But she paces, rubs against the wall, is pretty lethargic, seems totally out of it, stares into space... The most I see her acting like Zoey is some "better days" she will come up to me wagging her tail when I come in or talk to her and let me pet her a little. Called the vet yesterday. He said her only option is surgery. It's a specialty surgery that has to be done out of state. Surgery alone costs $2-3K not including before/aftercare, hospitalization, and meds which she will be on for life. Less than a 50% chance it will help and it will mean more suffering for her our other choice is putting her to sleep and we've basically Come to the decision that it's the more humane choice rather than letting her suffer. She's not in pain but she had a very low quality of life right now. My Zoey girl deserves better. She's only 14 months old. I'm so sad.

I'm sorry to hear about your poor girl. It sounds like you're doing everything you can for her. She's a lucky girl to have someone that loves her so much, and tried so hard to help her.

I'm so sorry for what you're both going through.

I'm so sorry to hear this Jo . Losing a pet is so painful. Especially for people like us who view them as a member of the family. My thoughts will be with you
Also, HS, never seen that before & I'm crying like a baby. How sweet

Ugh. I'm with Krypto, I wish pets wouldn't get sick or old. So sorry Betty 14 months...too damn young.

You guuuuyyys I'm so excited.

My play was one of the selected 12 for a staged reading/talk back session with a theatre company in Charleston. If the audience like it enough it might get selected for a full production in their 2017 season

So, I may be a little absent because there's a lot of editing to be done before May roles around.
