Good news!!
The last day of the year is today and our good news is that Tiberius can come home today. It's been a long and tiring road from the emergency animal hospital to here and now. I just got off the phone to our vet's office and they said he was being cleaned up to go home.
We kept Tiberius at the emergency hospital over the holiday weekend. I told them I wanted to move forward with treating him because even though he was in grave condition and it looked like he wouldn't survive, I thought he deserved the chance. The hospital began treating him (grudgingly in my opinion). Over the course of that weekend, Anne went to visit him very night. I think her visits had a very positive effect on him.
By Monday morning, he was still alive and I had to pick him up and transfer him to another vet for regular care. The hospital is only for off hours and holidays and weekends. I picked him up and took him over to the Park Mall Animal Clinic. When I was checking Tiberius out I mentioned I was going to take him to the Park Mall Clinic or to Hank's Animal Hospital. The lady at the desk said that they often sent transfers over to Park Mall, so that's where I told them to fax the records.
I drove Tiberius to the Park Mall clinic and asked if they accepted CareCredit. The receptionist told me they only took cash or checks, so I had to take Tiberius home to get the checkbook. While I was there, I called Hanks Animal Hospital and found out they took CareCredit. I went back to Park Mall and got my paperwork with apologies and took him right over to Hanks. While he was home briefly, Morgan (of course) opened the carrier and I was really surprised to see Tiberius just walk out on his own. This was when I started to have real hope that he might recover.
Threw it on the ground!
I love these shorts for the most part. This one gets kudos for the tasing.

Definitely bears thinking on. My first reaction when I heard this was to think it would be alright to let her out. As always, I try not to take a position that I can't be dislodged from, and this article did it.

Two Things That Are The Best
Best episodes ever are In a Mirror Darkly, parts 1 and 2, of course. The one where they show the dark alternate universe of Star Trek where everyone is a blue meanie.
Best Ice Cream ever is Oatmeal Cookie Chunk. Cinnamon flavored ice cream with Oatmeal cookies... <drool>.
I just found this flavor when I was getting some ice cream. It sounded ok so I bought it. Soooo glad I did.

The quote below struck me, since I see it all the time at work.
By now, we probably have all been subject to “email attention,” which differs from the regular attention that one receives in a normal in-person, or phone conversation.
We start out talking with a colleague and the conversation goes well until we detect that they have made the switch to checking their device to see if they have received any urgent email.
Their responses become just a little delayed, and we can sense that something has shifted as they join the latest game of email ping-pong happening somewhere in cyber-space. Whether they are standing in front of us, or 3000 miles away, the effect is the same — the conversation slows down as they hit reply, start typing and hit send, even as they insist they are “still listening” when challenged.
