Yeah, minus the calmness at the end. :lol: I was petting him yesterday and just all of a sudden, he loses his damn mind, darts across the room and under a desk, starts growling and barking at me. I dunno what that old lady did to this dog...

Aw. My dog Duchess was abused before we got her too, and she isn't quite so bad, but she still gets hyper defensive over nothing sometimes. Cutest wittwe thing though.

And... a dog with PTSD, huh? Is he maybe, I dunno, having a hard time letting you in? Is he getting distant even though you want to help him? Does he almost seem, oh, maybe... stubborn, about it?

Let's just hope he doesn't use sex as a distancing mechanism.

3D printing has ridiculous potential for a lot of things. That's cool to see.

Yeah. That's actually a really nice story, in a way.

Plus, I mean... Hanacat.

That's amazing, it's wonderful what can be done with a 3D printer. That dog looks dead chuffed as well, was smiling through the second half of that :)

Today, after a very long time, I finally thought to ask the vet what the name of her very beautiful (and evil when provoked) grey cat was.

"Her name is Emi."

Awwwww...

...yep. :)

Is the cat missing legs, too?

No. She spends most of her time curled up on the receptionist/assistant's chair. Apparently she runs around in the mornings and then spends the rest of the day pretending she doesn't have legs. :D
