UFOs? whats the latest ufos news?

[TamerVirus]

"Nothing to see here, move along citizen"

[King Zultan]

I don't see much reason to freak out about it, it's not like we can do anything about the UFOs anyway.

[scriver]

That's what Big UFO wants you to think

[Great Order]

Cat had a suspected TIA.

It's not really surprising, she's 17ish now so it's inevitable something major's going to happen and it did only last about a minute, but it's still really upsetting and I'm worried we're going to wake up one day soon to find she's either died or so ill she'll need to be put to sleep.

[Frumple]

Yeah, it sucks when you have a pet that long and they start going downhill. Just try to be there for 'em much as you can.

[Grim Portent]

Pets getting old is one of the worst things. Had a pair of rats when I was a kid, one, Titch, died relatively young of some sort of disease, the other, Charlie, got old and arthritic and had to be put down at the vet. Cried my damn eyes out and couldn't bear to be in the room while it happened. I regret that quite a bit, but my mum was with him, and she was probably his favorite human.

My sympathies GO, give your cat a hug from me.

[Frumple]

Worst way I've seen a pet go is snakebite, hands down. Run over (car, lawnmower, latter got both dog and rabbit at different points in my life), shot, died of old age, eaten by ants (caged chicken, couldn't get away), put down otherwise*, neurotoxin is just the fucking worst, and to no small degree.

*I've tried to be better since I've been able, but my family has had many pets and weren't as cautious with them as they probably should have been Like, they tried, and their heart was in the right place, and most of the critters were probably better off than they would have been (mostly took in strays, in an area where most pound bound animals end up dead), but... good goddamn have we buried a lot of pets over the years, and only a handful to old age.

Incidentally assholes that speed in 35 zones and don't slow for animals can go right to hell.

[bloop_bleep]

That's a lot of dead pets, wow.

Lawnmower?

[King Zultan]

Unless it was a riding lawnmower I can't really see anyone running over a dog with one.

[ChairmanPoo]

What if it was a dog that was fat and lame?

[Magmacube_tr]

Or a puppy?

[Frumple]

Unless it was a riding lawnmower I can't really see anyone running over a dog with one.

Riding lawnmower, yeah. In both cases the critters ran directly into/under an active one going full throttle. Person riding it didn't even have time to react. Horrible noise, terrible mess. We were finding bits of the rabbit in the yard for like weeks

Ew! I forgot those giant-ass lawnmowers you Murican's have existed.

What a terrible way to go...

[Loud Whispers]

Oh geez that is horrendous. Sorry you have to carry that weight Frumple, god damn that is a lot of pets
