ONE GOOD THING THAT CAME FROM TODAY

I was able to educate a cab driver on the value of rescuing/adopting vs breeding/buying.

HAD PATAPSCO PUT TO SLEEP

Vet said at best we were buying time. I kissed him and told him I was sorry.

PIGGIES PICK PANTHERS

It is hard to write this but my sweet Patapsco has a huge mass in his abdomen. We couldn’t get him to his regular vet so I took him to one in Chevy Chase who found the mass. The vet said sometimes steroids help to shrink a tumour but pigs don’t do well with them. I talked to Pender Vet and they said they could do emergency surgery but that would be a huge financial strain on me with a high risk and he’s already in serious pain—if I hadn’t been syringe feeding him he’d be dead by now. We are taking him to see Dr. LaPorta Monday if he lives through the weekend and will probably have him euthanized. This is what I had suspected. D says I'm seldom wrong--this time I wish I were.

Patapsco is four years old today, going by shelter data. Darling, I wish I could do better by you and Pepino:

PATAPSCO IS SO FUNNY

The other afternoon  I was lying on the couch and I said "Vladimir Zhirinovsky" out loud. Patapsco rumbled. I thought it was a coincidence so I said it a couple times and he rumbled every time. 

I'm wondering if it's a political thing or if he just likes or dislikes the name.
