Such a cute "wee" dog
Poor ol' Lucy. About an hour after my post last night we realised that our little furball was bleeding from her wee-wee section. So dainty arent I lol. Anyways, seein as she peed on my about 3 days pervious and has been wanting to go to the toilet about ten times more than normal lately it seemed to me that she has cystcitus.
Sooooo, I got up this morning, got a vets appointment, took her down and sure enough, it is cystsitus as far as they can tell without a sample. Trying to get a pee sample out of Lucy is like trying to get blood from an indestructible stone.
Anyways, two injections, 10 tablets, an invoice, a "howwwww much???" and £40 later, shes now back home and hopefully on the mend while my folks and I cower in a heap in the corner from the shock of how much it costs to visit the vet these days.
BUT shes worth every penny of it! Lucy that is. Not the vet. Although she was rather cute today the vet, and could check out my heart rate with her stethescope any day. Just so long as she doesnt pull on the rubber gloves wanting to check rear entrances and stuff as vets often have a habit of doing to their patients....
Also, since my last entry Ive been chosen by a software company to beta test their latest upcoming MMORPG title. (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game). Its the same type of game genre as World of Warcraft and Star Wars Galaxies etc. This new game is called Auto Assualt. www.autoassault.com. Will it be any good? Who knows. Im currently downloading the 2GB client file as I type. But the my job as a beta tester is not to say if its good or not. I just have to play it, and try to break it. And make reports when it does break. Should be fun. Ive always wanted to beta test games before, and this is my big chance. Woohoooo. Shame theres no wage, but im sure the company would be saying, gettin free access to a subscription based game for 6 months or so before it is officially released to the public is such a thrill and an honour that a wage is not necessary.
I say, "Ive just been made forty quid poorer so how about screwing the honour and the thrill side of things and giving me a wage for breaking your game instead!!!" :D
John Spencer who plays Leo McGarry in The West Wing died yesterday from a heart attack, aged only 58. That is such very sad news. He was a great actor, and seemed such a fun guy in the various interviews Id seen him in on TV. I hope hes up there on the big stage in the sky with a starring lead role, showing everyone what we're missing since he passed on.
And so, the remainder of this blog entry will be blank space. In a way it is my silent one minute tribute to one of my favourite Actors who I will miss seeing on my TV.
