State I'm In

[sisabet]

I am still at work. STILL! And working! ACK!

At my desk is a pile of files that I absolutely have to get to before I can leave. Beside those files sits "Carnivale" as it was delivered here early (Thank you Deep Discount DVDs!).

At my home sits my dog. My poor, itchy dog who went to yet another vet on Saturday. Something had bitten him - I was concerned (as he is a total house dog, only outside with supervision). Turns out he bit himself. Poor itchy dude. Also? This vet was not my Dad's normal vet (we were at the parents house), so I had to have the following exchange AGAIN:

Me: Before you trim his nails, we need a muzzle.

Vet: Does he bite?

Me: When you cut his nails, he does.

Vet: [doesn't believe, starts to cut Sid's nails anyway]

Sid: [freaks the fuck out, bites]

Me: Yeah, like that.

I swear I need a T-shirt to wear that says "Warning: My Dog Will Bite You IF You Mess with His Nails." cause they never believe me.

What else?

My itchy dog is waiting for me at home. There is no hot water waiting for me at home. There is no food waiting for me at home, but there are the final eps of BSG and a new Deadwood that I need to see and did I mention I also have CARNIVALE now and why am I still here?

Seriously. Why?

I hope you're home now and dying from Carnivale overdose. Kisses to the poor, itchy, dog-faced boy. (I hate it when people don't believe what you tell them about your dog. Grrr. I'm with Sid: Bite 'em!)

Ah Carnivale, crazy good show. Have you seen it yet at all or will the DVD's be the first viewing. I like Deadwood as well, but one can only hear the word 'cocksucker' so many times in one sitting. Enjoy!

yay! Go watch Carnivàle now.
I'm sorry about your itchy dog. I've never heard of a dog bitting himself like that. Poor little thing.

Typically that sort of biting is referred to as a "hot spot": there's some sort of irritation that keeps the dog worrying an area until it's raw and icky. Sometimes peroxide helps, sometimes you have to resort to Elizabethan collars and/or prescription medicines.

Not a hot spot. I know what those look like. This is something else and isn't typical but Sid is somewhat of a spaz, so I'm not that surprised.
