Alice is at the vet today, getting her annual teeth cleaning. This time, she's also having a small (but steadily growing) lump removed from her foot and a neck x-ray done just in case something can explain why she's been yelping so damn much. We couldn't give her breakfast today so she was mighty pissed on the way over and less than pleased when they whisked her to the back of the office. Sorry, Al. It's for your own good. I think.
