Argh!

The groomer forgot Finn's predilection for cage chewing and put his leash in with him. Now I have to buy a new leash. Again :(

I think your groomer ought to take some responsibility for the leash!

[conuly]

And now I'm snuggling him and it looks like he got at his sweater too. I'm not even sure how he managed to bite it there!

... Ah boogers. I was hoping that 'glimpse of a Canadian-led international order' article was going to be something other than what it was. I'm no fan whatsoever of the TPP myself, and I'm a deep blue liberal, so the first paragraphs made me twitch. Definite points for Canada's renegotiation for fairer drug access, though.

" A day’s supply of heroin used to cost him $100. Now, for that amount, he can get enough fentanyl to last more than three weeks."

Damn, a month's supply of fentynal with a prescription is like $800. (Actually I remember about 8 yrs ago, it used to be $10 copay and when in the medicare coverage gap it was $50 to $100. I doubt the increase is just inflation, but rather an attack on the disabled as scapegoats so the drug co's can act like they are 'doing something' to curb drug use.

I'm thinking that the prescription is probably safer, though? Better chain of supply, and you can sue if it's badly made?

One if the more ignorant and propaganda influenced comments i've seen here.... I don't know which of half a dozen pts to start with and my spoons r limited.... Is explaining and linkage even worth it?

[conuly]

If you decide it is, I'm willing to listen.
