My German Shepard-Rottweiler mix Frodo has an infection he sustained when he was attacked earlier this year by another dog.
Frodo is a rescue dog who came from a home in which he was beat up and attacked constantly by smaller dogs, like chihuahuas. He didn't stand up for himself, instead allowing himself to be attacked. He has scars all on his face and shoulders from this.
He came to us... God it must have been about seven years ago now. That was just before both my stepfather and my father passed away.
For years he has protected our family and our chickens from the local wildlife. He has done nothing but be an obedient and loyal companion to both myself and my mother.
Earlier this year, a neighbor was walking her dog down the road I live on. Her dog was not on a leash. We live in a very very rural area, so our house is a considerable distance from the road. Frodo always will bark at passing people, but stays on our property. We have stonewalls dividing our property from our neighbors and the road. Anyway, this time, the neighbors dog didn't take too kindly to Frodo guarding his home, and jumped the fence onto our property and came at Frodo. Frodo fought back, and I had to sprint and tackle the dogs apart. Her dogs face was bleeding, and Frodos shoulder was also. We sort of just went our separate ways.

My mom and I didn't think much of the incident until a few weeks ago Frodo stopped eating. We couldn't figure out why until we noticed that his shoulder was swollen. He was limping as well. We took him to the vets and they told us that it had become infected and full of puss.

I'll spare you the details of the operation, but suffice it to say that the fluid was drained. We thought it was over, but in a few days it had swollen back up. We had it drained again, and again today it was swollen, only this time by a dramatic amount. Frodo now does not walk on that leg because of the pain. We took him to the vets to have it be drained again, but the veterinarians that were there today were unfamiliar with the situation, and diagnosed it as a pulled muscle, which is is clearly not. Despite my and my mothers desperate attempts to tell them that we know what the problem is, we just need them to drain it again, they insisted we were mistaken, and sent him home with a prescription for pills that reduce inflammation. He unfortunately, is too smart and will not take pills. No matter what. We've tried everything to get him to take his antibiotics but he just won't. And now he's hardly eating anymore. My mom had to hand feed him fried eggs tonight because he wouldn't eat anything else. I don't mean hand feed with like, a fork or anything. She cut the eggs into tiny pieces and held them out in her hand one by one until he ate all of them.

We don't know how much longer he has. We don't know if he'll just pass in the night or if we'll have to put him down soon. We can't keep paying the vets to drain him, because we don't have that kind of money. He's an old dog. 12 years old. Maybe it's just getting to be time.

Tl;dr: My old dog is dying because of an infection from a wound sustained by a neighbors dog attacking him.

Post 'em, bbes!

(not me, friend of mine as Swamp Thing.)

(Still not me, another friend in his Elegia- I mean scarecrow costume.)

The deadline for senior quote submission is coming up at my school and I don't know what I'm gonna do. Any ideas?
I was thinking maybe some Camnator quotes.
Maybe something like this:

Because he's so... Nice. It's weirding me out. And I haven't seen him post booty. Or shit post. I'm really scared, guys. Who is this person? What have they done with Camnator?

This is Alex Kapranos, the lead singer of Franz Ferdinand, and another Elegiac look-alike.

These, Ladies and Mentlegen, are the Egyptian gods Kek and Kauket. They are, as Touregypt.net so eloquently describe, the gods of Darkness. See here:

The Egyptians believed that before the world was formed, there was a watery mass of dark, directionless chaos. In this chaos lived the Ogdoad of Khmunu (Hermopolis), four frog gods and four snake goddesses of chaos. These deities were Nun and Naunet (water), Amun and Amaunet (invisibility), Heh and Hauhet (infinity) and Kek and Kauket (darkness). The chaos existed without the light, and thus Kek and Kauket came to represent this darkness. They also symbolized obscurity, the kind of obscurity that went with darkness, and night.

So, in both name and meaning, if The Flood had a deity or two, these should be them.

The TV show, not the Nic Cage & John Travolta movie. For those of you who don't, it's a competition reality show where artists compete each week to do the best monster makeup when given a theme or premise. The end results are always really good, but recently they had an episode in which the contestants had to combine a childhood fear and a clown. While I'm not afraid of clowns, one of the artists childhood fear was a recurring nightmare he would have where he would be pulled into deep dark water by rotting, decomposing corpses. So his clown was a rotting corpse that had like, running wet makeup. But it was the most terrifying thing I've ever seen. I'll try and find a picture, but the closest thing I can compare it to is the zombie in the canister from Return of The Living Dead.

[edit]: I don't mean waifu, and i don't even necessarily mean it in a romantic way. All I meant was that I can identify really well with a fictional character, and it's a tragedy I would never be able to meet him.

 Everyone will forget that you were ever the gender you used to be, and if you are in a relationship with someone that person will still be attracted to you, even if this means that their sexual orientation changes. Essentially, you would be getting dropped into a parallel universe in which you were born the opposite gender, and are a million dollars (or pounds etc.) richer. Your socio-economic status might change as well, due to the whole glass ceiling thing.

I'm playing Dungeon Master for a game in which one of my friends is playing an Aasimarian Paladin, basically a semi-angelic battlemage healer. The other guy is playing a Skum (basically a less evolved Zora) named Slugger. The Skum plays like a little slimy tank, absorbing damage and dishing it out at a ludicrous rate.
Their usual battle strategy: the paladin throws the fish-thing at enemies, and the fish thing claws the enemies to pieces with his disgusting slimy claws. Also, the fish thing can't speak common speak, but the paladin can translate what he says, so in order for the fish to talk to npc's the paladin has to play interpreter.
Any funny D&D stories, flood?
