Ugh. I'm sorry to hear that.
It's the reason I haven't wanted to get a dog yet. Being there when we put down my old dog was the hardest day of my life.

Hug someone you care about...
Aww man...but he is so cool!

Our Westie just turned 11. Although he's relatively healthy he can't jump up on our bed any longer and doesn't even love walking upstairs without encouragement. I try not to think about the inevitable.
Us, too. We have 3 chihuahua-sized rescues, and our oldest is "rescue 13," which is to say when we adopted her 9 years ago the rescue organization alleged that she was 4. In all likelihood, she was probably 8 or 9 years old instead (according to multiple vets' estimates), putting her at a ripe old age of 17 or 18. She's had back leg issues for years, but has really gone down hill lately. She was diagnosed with advanced stages of kidney failure and given days-to-a-week remaining - and that was 3 weeks ago. As long as we take the trouble to hand feed her 3-4 times per day, she still has energy to trot around and patrol her domain (she's the alpha, for sure). If we miss a feeding, the weakness returns and she can barely stand. Even then, she is still a perfectly happy, affectionate, little girl. We know we are on borrowed time right now, so we are enjoying every minute with her - we have gone from grief to grateful just to have this extra time.

Are the cis okay?
Cat, I love you, I really do... you've been the ONE constant in my life since we rescued each other in 2011. However, I'd really appreciate it if you'd stop sinking your claws into my legs.

Our company is giving us a $250 stipend no-strings-attached but heavily suggested we use it towards home office. THey said they negotiated pricing with a large office supplies company to give us great discounts. Finally got my account activation and looked at the "deals". Half were products from my company. All were barely discounted. Three chairs were available. ALl were steelcase knockoffs. Cheapest was still $400. And not a steelcase.
Thanks, I'll spend the extra cash when I can find a deal on a Leap.

Me when I started grad school: "It's not going to be like my undergrad, where I don't start papers, much less finish them, until the deadline."
Me well into grad school: Looks at calendar, sees deadline is in 2 days, yells "oh shit," and furiously cranks out all major assignments the night before they're due.
I need to accept that some things will never change.

In my entire academic career (K-M.S.), I think I started three, maybe four major papers with sufficient lead time. My Master's capstone was one of them, a Catholic Morality term paper in 11th grade was another. There was a term paper for a gimmie elective class I took to bolster my sagging undergraduate GPA at Tech. I think I might've started an A.P. US History book report in advance as well.
Everything else, I winged it with a only a few days to go. I once made a joke about Thomas Jefferson pulling an all-nighter the night before the Declaration of Independence was signed, and that being good enough for me.

And part of why I keep doing it is because I still get mostly As on everything.

The best paper I ever wrote was for one of my senior design courses. Midterm paper was due ans were out drinking. I stumble home and get ready to pass out. As soon as my head hits the pillow I bounce off it like trampoline. "SHIIIIT"
Get the coffee going, grab my crap, walk down to the computer lab I worked at (my apartment was too dangerous, it had a warm bed) and pound out the paper. Still fairly drunk. Finish around 8 am and head into class knowing I fucked up a paper worth a third of my grade. After I turn in, I got home hungover as fuck and pass out. A week later we got it back. 100%.
I just about shit myself.

Not proud of this, but I used to attend my Friday 8 a.m. Spanish class smelling like a bar quite often. My mistake for taking an 8 a.m. 5 credit class, especially since Thursdays was the more popular party night at our campus since a lot of students would drive home on Fridays.
That year our house also happened to host after parties just about every other week, which typically meant the keg(s) we bought didn't tap out until 4 or 5 a.m. It was not uncommon for me to start cramming Spanish vocab at 7 a.m. after at most 3 hours of sleep. I would shower, brush my teeth, change clothes, but friends in class said it didn't matter and every time I smelled as if I had just came straight from the bar. Managed an A- even though I didn't need it outside of passing.

It was an engineering class, so the prof was probably impressed you had any written language skills at all. ;-)

Dear customers: what you see on the shelves is what we have. No amount of checking "the back" is going to make an item you want suddenly appear. I only go to "the back" to make you feel better. I already know we don't have it.
