Just so y’all know I took the Veterinary Assistant class over at the community college, I even have the certificates to prove it. I assisted in a few surgeries. You’ll need some soft rope to tie his arms and legs down, you don’t want him moving around while you’re cutting, and if he starts wagging his tail he needs something stronger to knock him out. ---

Most everyone at the office bailed around noon. I was a dedicated professional, plus it took me till quitting time to finish what I was doing. But now I’m home, so yay! I’ve got a list started for stuff to remember. Shortly, I’ll throw together some mac-n-cheese for supper, then do some squid sewing afterwards. Tomorrow will be much laundry and packing. Gotta remember to leave a note for the critter sitter… Too much to think about. TGIF!!! ---

Howdy Y’all! At da cave finally! Needed to do a few things whilst in town, so I did. I already told OYKW tonight is a forage for food night. I’s stuffded after a biiiiiiig brekkie this mornin’ and a throw out the goodies and lets munch down N.O.L. No dindin for da bear tonight. Brekkie was incredible! Pancakes, bacon, scrambled aigs, cheese grits, bizkits and sausage gravy. Sausage gravy on a bizkit looks sump’n like the dawg threw up on a bizkit, but it sure does taste good! 😃 Oh and all the cheese thangs I made got et up so yay for that. **flytrap** I thought you had a good idea about takin’ out **Vunderboob’s** \ appendix. See, that would be good practice since it’s a pretty useless body part anyways. If he didn’t croak from that, then **Jim** and you could move on to the gall bladder. Plus now y’all have **sari** as a [del]veterinary[/del] surgical assistant so maybe y’all will have a chance to poke around and see if anything else needs removin’ whilst you’re in there. **BBBobbio** yay for FDIL! **MOOOOOOM** you mean Higgs is not goin’ to see her grandparents? ---

Haven’t read. Good thoughts appreciated, we were out to a movie and lunch and my grandpa passed out at the restaurant. We’re at a satellite ER and they’re going to take him to the main hospital and keep him overnight for observation. ---

\*\*swampy \*\*- Higgs is going, but the cats and the fish aren’t. I’ve quit squidding - I got the tentacles sewed to the body and I got the fins sewed to the head. The head is ready to be pinned and sewed to the body, but I’m tired and I don’t want to screw it up, so I’ll finish it tomorrow. Tonight, I’ll knit. \*\* {{{Sticky and fambly}}}\*\* ---

**MOOOOOOM** I can understand the cats not goin’ cause cats don’t do travel, but I’m sure the fish in the bazillion gallon tank wouldn’t mind a few days in Florida. After all, they so rarely get out these days! 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-waiting-mmp/676453.md?page=9) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-waiting-mmp/676453.md?page=11)
