One thing after another

mortalcityUggghhh the dog needs to go to the vet. Not even two weeks after Ariel's thing, but Ace has a recurring problem I really don't want to keep putting off. It looks painful or at least uncomfortable, and it suddenly got worse, so vet.
I mean, we're lucky enough that we technically have the money to take her, we just need to get it, so it could be worse... but we were planning to use that money to help replace my quickly dying desktop, and ugh. Ugh. Excellent timing, animals. Every one of you is grounded.
And meanwhile, Morrigan has been tearing up her neck every time she has a chance to lick or claw at it - probably due to allergies or anxiety, since she's had no chance to pick up anything from Ariel and if she did have anything contagious, there's no way she wouldn't have passed it to Quentin and Toby. We have her in a makeshift kitty turtleneck and an inflatable donut around her neck (like a cone, but less awkward) so she can't hurt herself while she heals and we try to figure out what's going on.
Switching her to a grain-free food to see if anything improves - I think that's all the vet would be able to tell us to do anyway, if we took her. I hope it's just allergies, because the food's expensive, but it could be worse, and there's fuck all we can do about anxiety other than rehome her. Talking a no-kill shelter into taking on that kind of problem is not my idea of fun.
At least GYWO is going well for me so far. Still behind schedule because I started late, but I am catching up fast and having fun with it, so that's nice. I might actually finally finish my first draft of this story in the next month.
