#I have to bring him to the vet!“

[skylersprompts]

DC x DP Prompt *30*

If anyone would ask Bruce how he could have known, he would tell them that it is obvious. Phantom - the new part-time member of the Young Justice - who seemed to be forever young and their new engineer Danny Fenton who is in his early twenties have perfectly fitting schedules. When Fenton is working in the Watchtower, Phantom will be unavailable for the Young Justice and vice versa. Also, the pranks started after both of these figures appeared. Of course one could argue that they could just be related or somehow knew each other otherwise, but the pranks that were pulled on all of the mentors of the Young Justice were only possible with Phantom Powers. And because of the new Ghost Shield the young hero wouldn't be able to just fly into the Watchtower and had to use the Zeta-Tube, what would mean that they should be able to look at the logs. But Phantom never entered the Watchtower while the pranks were under way. And as soon as his team really needed him, Fenton would make an excuse to leave work early.

What he wouldn't tell anyone, is that he saw how Fenton had transformed himself into Phantom, shortly before the Flash got up to run for a snack, just to fall down because his ankles had been cuffed together.

And maybe he helped him from time to time, with a well timed question to distract his fellow heros. Because the motive became clear really fast. Everytime someone got pranked, that someone had done something to ignite the wrath of the younger heros.

All of that also meant two things.

First of all, as soon as Danny was at work, Batman would be extra aware of his surroundings. The pranks never worked on him, which meant he had to dodge more attempts for the rest of the day.

And secondly: He should talk to Tim, after he found out how he had put his foot in his mouth this time, since he just saw his spoon move in his coffee mug without anyone's involvement. He just let his (probably salty) coffee go cold, brooding. Maybe he should go home early today and spend some quality time with his son...

every day im reminded that though my parents may have wanted a dog they clearly did not want to take care of a dog

[churrothezanyrabbit]

some of the htf community: actually draws the characters accurately to their designs and/or adds some of their own little personal details that they like that don’t completely change the character

that part of the htf community: haha skinny white twinks that’s what everyone is that makes sense right guys right

Nothing humbles you more like having to spend $200 that you don't really have so your cat could get a check-up and his vaccines he just became due for so he could visit you at medical rehab after not seeing each other two and a half weeks, only for him to not want to cuddle you the entire time despite being your cuddly little guy. I've definitely not been crying on and off for the past hour because my son hurt my feelings.

[itsmarsss]

I hope the rest of the week will be better for you.

thank you! that’s very kind :)

cw pet death, euthanasia

I did not euthanise a cat today.

"We want to make an appointment to put our cat down," the owners said on the phone. "He's 18. He was diagnosed with CNI two years ago, we didn't do much about it. He's reached the end of his life."

"He's 18," they said, when we put him on the table and gave him scritches and offered him malt paste because he seemed to lose a lot of hair, and watched him eagerly lick it off my co-worker's fingers. "He won't eat as much, and he vomited three times last night."

"He's 18," they insisted as I examined him and turned up nothing but the hair loss, beginning cataract and slight tenderness upon abdominal palpation, "we'll be away for a few weeks soon and what will we tell the caretaker if he's sick then?"

"He's 18," over and over again, their sole reason to refuse treatment offers, further diagnostics, as I watched him enjoy the attention and malt paste and thought of all those others that would have had a realistic chance at survival, reconvalescence, even, if it hadn't been taken away from them on the sole argument that they're "already old".

They changed. They have special needs. They got sick. They've become a nuisance, a burden some people didn't sign up to bear.

So they jump at the chance to get rid of them.

"It's better for them," they say. "We had some great years together. But now? Now they're old. Look at them."

I do. And they look back. They're still alive. Their problems, sometimes, are manageable. Sometimes they can be cured altogether. I discuss options, treatment plans. Outcomes.

They're old, yes, but we can make it as comfortable for them as possible, right up until the end.

"Don't you see there's nothing to be done?"

Age is not a disease. One of the tenets they drilled into our heads at uni: it might come with many diseases, and one day, likely together or due to those diseases, impact quality of life so much that you have to make a decision, but in itself, it's not a reason.

He's 18, and I refused, and they took him back home again. Angry. Arguing. Adamant there's something that needs to be done about him. And as they left, we all knew they would not stop until they got what they wanted.

I did not euthanise a cat today. And still, he's another one we couldn't save.

Just read a post about how you shouldn’t trust a doctor who rushes you and like, yes I fully understand the frustration, so here’s what you can do to stop yourself being rushed:

-ask for a double appointment

-ask for a triple appointment

-fuck it ask for an hour long appointment if you think it’ll help

-be outright about what you want/need from an appointment. If you need more time to process information, say that. If you need the doctor to write out all information, say that. If you have a complex case/long history, say that!

-list all the reasons why you want to see the doctor/vet that day and please don’t sugar coat it. “Been vomiting” is a ten minute fix. “Been vomiting after every meal for the past two years” is not. It needs a double appointment and possibly a referral too.

Doctors and vets are overworked to fuck and exploited to hell. Help us out a little, please

I can’t even sleep. I just want my baby back. and I think I’ve made myself even more sick

[nabsthevulture]

What are your plans for your next pup? I see you talking about it every once in a while and I was interested! I actually just got my first puppy, she's a yellow lab and her name is Cleo!

Ideally I would like my next dog to be a Beauceron, but I'm thinking more likely is that I will get another GSD. I already have a name picked out and everything. I've been looking at Beaus since like 2014 when I got Kaine, but there's a lot that will go into that. I'll get one eventually, but like I said I think I'll end up with another GSD when Kaine is gone.

EDIT: Tell Cleo I say Hi!!!! Congrats on your new baby!

All of my planning and worrying didn't matter because he went on his own last night at home and it was traumatic as fuck for me and Selene both.

[grimmgrinningghouls]

I dont think he's gonna make it through the night
