New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red, |

Still round the corner there may wait |

Home is behind, the world ahead, |
Oh my goodness...I feel real bad. But I know you and I know you've done the right thing.
:-(
"You want fair, go to Puyallup in September!" Heh... that quote used to just really make our Vietnamese translator where I used to work roll on the floor laughing... something about the double meanings of words, or maybe it translated funny... was never sure :~D
Rosie and Ruthy have already offered to help. We appreciate that, ecurbh's not pleased to have this happen, with his job situation right now. Like I told him this morning "At least I'm not really into buying new shoes and fancy clothes all the time"
That's exactly right.
I'm just curious, because that page seems to indicate it's rather easy. Despite our liberal reputation, I've found WA to be more reasonable than many state in a lot of areas, gun law being the one I'm most familiar with.
The only thing we are extra regulatory about is the environment... which in Steve's case, might be a good thing :~D
Here's what the squash used to look like...remember that?
Here's what it looks like now!
Here's a happy squash!
And a not so happy squash...
Here's a squash I like to call Warf.
Ever since Steve graduated, he occasionally just drops off to sleep where ever he happens to be. He's supposed to be weeding...
Here's the teepee...I'm in the process of placing support branches across it.
Here's a couple of charts for comparison. Oklahoma homeschooling is completely unregulated; it's in our state constitution that the education of a child is completely under the authority of the parent alone. State and local government or school districts have no say.

ROTFL on Steve :~D Squash looks like a fun thing to grow, if it weren't for the fact you'd end up with ~squash~
I see...
Oh dear...well, that's a bit of bad news, but it's good she got to the doctor in time. Keep us updated!
Poor little gal...she's gone through way more than she should have had to in her short life.
"Them hugger mugger toe suckers way down south..."
Heh heh!
I bet you're gonna enjoy some liver pudding, huh?
Them Hog Liver likers
How about them hog liver likers, ain't they funny guys?
Eatin' hog liver soup, eatin hog liver pies.
Eatin' them cooked, eatin them raw
Eatin' them hog livers suits they craw.
Look at them hog liver likers, ain't they a disgrace?
Hog liver juice, all over they face.
Them pig lickin, high falutin', big hunk o' French-fried hog liver likers, aint they a sight?
Servin' up a hog liver, gonna get liked.
How to be a hog liver liker, Don't try to Psych-it,
Eat yourself a hog liver and see if you like it.
Consider it your contribution to the waifs-and-strays problem.
And consider a small donation to your local no-kill shelter or breed rescue society as well . . .
*shudder*
Just when you think you've heard it all.
The first five lines are the Feline Leukemia/Feline Aids test (which was negative) and her regular vaccines, which they'll give if the surgery is successful.
The last five lines are the surgery, IV and Anesthesia.
It's a tricky surgery and recovery because she's so thin. They're going to put her on an IV for fluids, since he said "We're going to be taking 30-40% of her body mass."
The surgery's a big (cough) expensive, but he didn't charge me for the office call today, or the test for worms... So I think they were trying to be kind.
Those are very reasonable prices for a vet, IMHO.
The c-section is $250-ish? That's a bargain.
Especially since they didn't tack on any "emergency fees".
I'll be glad to help.
Thanks Ruthy :~D
We'd have done it anyway, but my husband who is more practical than myself was a bit worried about having to credit card it, with his job situation so up in the air. We appreciate the help. :~D
We definitely have to do something about that "stray cat" label where a proper kitty-name should be!
Even if it's something trite and painfully common...like "Punkin".
"Stray Cat #11"?
We'll come up with something more charming :~D
