h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

They canceled all of the high, middle, elementary, and primary schools in our part of the state due to hurricane downpours, but uni was still holding classes. I started driving to uni, found that our road was washed out but managed to get off onto the paved highway. We had a 30 hour power outage. Anyway, I started driving and came up on a lady who had hit some moron who had been walking across the road. The ambulance had already arrived so I talked to the hysterical woman until the police came and told me I could leave. I drove a little longer to find two huge pecan trees across the road. I had a brief interchange with another police officer and went home. About an hour later, I hooked Sherman into his seatbelt and we headed to the vet's. I intended on putting him to sleep today because he was so bad, but I asked the vet (my favorite at the hospital) to run a full blood panel, just in case. Well, about thirty minutes later, he comes back in the room and says, 'Would you believe he's diabetic?' I told him that, no, I wouldn't, so he threw me the write up. Sure enough, Sherman is diabetic. I bearhugged the vet and just bawled for about twenty minutes. The vet was happy, but was sort of...embarrassed at having to comfort this teenage girl who was hysterical with happiness. So, I called mama who had a fit and drove to the store and bought insulin which happens to be dirt cheap. The syringes actually cost more. I will now be able to sleep and hopefully all of the burst capillaries around my eyes and all of my bumps will go away. My baby should be fine, and I have nothing to stress about.

Stress and nevus tension are relived by diabetic shots, well i am sure they intended it to fix diabeties but smeh

I'm wondering whether or not I should comment on that. I think I was more upset about him being sick than he was...but then he was also almost in a diabetic coma.

"Good to hear you were not flushed yourself by the storms.

Adn a big releave your dog is healty by just some medication. It must have been terrible to drive him to the veterinarian. "

We're about to get flushed out. The Ocmulgee is about to overflow, too.

It was a very sad drive. He just looked at me and slobbered on my arm. My poor baboo.

Poor dog. I am glad he is getting better, let us hope that he survives

I think this calls for cheesy happy music!

Hooray for slobber!

Did you change your name just for that? Hahaha...

He will live a bit longer. After three injections, he is already trotting around and back to being a brat.

Yay for bratisy!

Woohoo! And now he can be even more spoiled than ever and blame anything bad on his diabetes.

Yes, yes you can

No, mum, he destroyed the couch...you know, his sugar was off...

Traveller in Time on his head
"I thought you did doggy training?

By the way < <./>T478136?letest=1</.> > how are the rivers behaving? Also shore of sugar?"

Yes, I do train dogs, but MY dog is a brat. I can discipline other peoples' dogs, but mine is exceptional. He's just a baby, you know? Mind you, my children will not be raised like Sherman...I hope...

Yeah there will hopefully be a farther there to ruin them and blame

Well, I would kill them if they got to the level Sherman is at.

Somehow I believe you, but remember you can blame the husband anyways

No sense in it. I intend on having a bicker-full household and arguing about killing children isn't half as fun as why someone left the car on with the keys locked inside.

Ah yes, the old who locked the keys in the car argument, hard to top really

Especially since it was YOUR fault!
