bath time betrayal

She'll only take her meds if they're in hotdogs. She also gets rice cooked in the hotdog water with scrambled eggs. It was my mom's idea lol.

She started playing today. Only for a couple mins at a time, but it's awesome.

My grief for Radar, her brother, is almost consuming me, but having her survive miraculously is making it easier. Sleep at night is difficult because Radar and I would cuddle all night. Not having his presence there is so hard and Rosie is not a cuddler. I'll get through it though. It's just going to take a long time.

She somehow survived near brain-death from a neurotoxin. She was blinded from a 107 degree fever but regained her sight. She's not going to have any long-term issues from this whole ordeal. She seized for almost an hour on Sunday night along with the fever.

So glad she made it. Her brother didn't, unfortunately. He seized for four hours and the vets couldn't get it to stop. We had to put him to sleep. He went peacefully and wasn't in pain or distress in the end

And some butt scritches…

Meet Sirena, a female Grey seal pup who was found at Wicklow Harbour, Co. Wicklow, on the 12th of September 2026 by Gerard K.

She was found alone swimming in the harbour, very close to the pier and a big boat. Sirena was estimated to be around 7-14 days old and was found orphaned and underweight, with her lanugo still present. This lanugo coat protects pups from low temperatures, but it is not waterproof. For this reason, it was very unusual and dangerous for Sirena to be in the deep water for so long, without her mother with her.

Sirena was strong and brave enough to haul out on a nearby beach, where we were finally able to safely lift and transport her to our centre in Courtown, Co. Wexford.

Sirena has a bit of a feisty side, and certainly isn't afraid to let us know what she thinks. We're hopeful that with plenty of care, rest and fish, she'll continue to gain strength and make great progress over the coming weeks.

Can y'all please pout one out for my baby. And maybe get a happy meal in his honor.

He was fine all day and then he just wasn't... The emergency vets did everything they could for him but we couldn't bring him out of it.

Lil dude was the best.

When we got home after Radar passed, Rosie ran the yard looking for him and she started having tremors. We thought she was just trembling from being upset, but then the gait issues started. When we left her in the care of the animal hospital early this morning for an admitted stay, she was very much aware of me and wanted nothing more than to lick my face and be held. She went from essentially braindead to that with the treatment the doctors did. She seems to be there cognitively, it's just that she has some sight issues now.

We believe that they got into rat poison of some kind. I don't use it, but I have many neighbors who don't have pets. I don't think it was malicious or anything, either. I think it was just a freak thing. Rosie and my cat will not be going back to my place, and we may be making my move to a new house sooner than intended.

My mom came over to help me with some stuff and we got pizza. Apparently when my mom comes over when I'm not around she gets a Happy Meal and splits the nuggets between herself and the dogs. Radar was very upset about it.

From Nevermore:

“Sometimes it's the smallest lives that remind us just how much kindness still exists in this world.

This tiny baby mouse was lucky enough to cross paths with someone who saw a life worth saving. Not only did she take the time to rescue him, but she drove a long distance just to make sure he made it safely into our care.

Think about that for a moment. Someone went out of their way, spent their time and gas, all for a little mouse that so many others might not have given a second thought.

These are the people who restore my faith in humanity.”
