We're thrilled she's down to 66lbs, and the vet is happy with how she looks & the weight loss! Reducing her morning kibble to a cup & switching dinners to wet food has definitely helped with that.
She's got some tenderness in one of her front legs, which is mildly concerning everyone. She's still going to physical therapy at the rehab clinic once a week & they'd commented on it too. Our overall vet is going to talk to the rehab vet & see if they want to make some changes in her routine. We may also do some x-rays to see if there's something going on in there besides a strained muscle.
But other than that, our old lady is doing pretty good! We're trying to get back on the exercise routine, after slacking while I recovered from tree fall, and Joel changed jobs & has been dealing with that adjustment. The cooler weather is both good and bad for Addy - she prefers it for the most part, but it does make her more sore. I got a couple new heated blankets for the animals to share for this winter, so those might help keep her comfy. We'll increase her pain meds again if needed too.
Also I'm hoping to get the new age test from Embark soon to try with her!! We've always been curious about her exact age, and it would definitely help a bit with knowing what to expect for her in terms of age-related health adding to her chronic issues.
[VD: A grayscale Magnus Archives animatic of Jon and Gerry talking in episode 111 of The Magnus Archives. Gerry, a ghostly goth, and Jon, a thin brown man in a graphic T-shirt, sit together at a table. Gerry says scornfully, "Playing politics with things they didn’t understand. Reckoned her tradition was less the academic and more the, uh…" Jon offers dryly, "V-Village witch?"
Gerry laughs, pleased, and asks, "You sure you don’t know her?" He sighs, sobers, and says, "Yeah. But deep down what she wanted wasn’t all that different from the ivory tower idiots she hated. Y’know, I think, secretly, she dreamed of starting a little mystic dynasty of her own." He grimaces. "With me."
Jon says a little eagerly, "Like the, the Lukases? Or the Fairchilds?" Gerry corrects, "Well, Fairchild’s just a name, they’re not really family." Then he does a finger gun and says, "The Lukases, though, yeah."
He turns away, pensive and frowning, and says, "Thing is, it’s harder than it looks. What’s out there… doesn’t care about blood." Jon, grinning a little, says, "Well, I-I mean, except for the vampires…" Gerry scowls, "Yeah, obviously except for the vampires." Jon looks abashed, and Gerry looks down sorrowfully to say, "But they care about your choices, your fears, not your parents." End VD]

uahghdhghrhghghshf the way cole connects with the team uniquely will never not make me go insane 😭 like, how he's able to talk and engage with them all with things that interest them because he cares about them just feels so genuine and sweet man, he's a sweetheart and such an empathetic character I love him so much 😭😭
It was made around halloween and YES it was HEAVILY inspired by @/insanedementia's own version with these two because it t'was the season and I liked Corpse Bride and the idea wuz rlly good-
tho I gave pearly a little twist than emily-
Y'see, Pearl's death is the original "got murdered by fiancé for my money, but I'm still waiting for them by the tree because it was dark and I couldn't tell it was them who killed me."
But over the years, that slowly morphed into "when I fucking see that bastard again, I'm fucking gutting him like a fish-"
Turning her last wish into a ghostly curse...
And then Caviar comes along and it's just "WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU????"
I got more because my brain is rotted like an old apple with them but I don't wanna go on a tangent-
Eddie, posting to TikTok: Look, I love my husband. I adore this man and I have for the majority of my life. He is the shining star in my sky.
Eddie: And I know. I know he wants to read more this year. And I know that when you’re dyslexic, it can be really difficult and I’m happy every time he accomplishes what he wants but…
*Flips camera to show Steve reading on the other side of the couch*
Eddie, gesturing: What kind of demented book handling is this? That book is bent in half. It’s a hardback!
