Grumpy Grace

Things got worse, so I took Grace to the vet. They took poop and blood samples, charged me over $300, sent me home with some antibiotics and a bag of prescription dog food that my dog absolutely refuses to eat. Grace is basically acting like a petulant teenager on a hunger strike.

I mean, yeah, she's getting older, but the blood test shows that she's actually in pretty good shape. The vet did find some sort of imbalance in her poo, and that's why she's on antibiotics, but there's nothing that is physically wrong with her to explain her brooding behavior.

It would seem my dog is just resentfully bored.

I ordered her a bottle of St. John's Wort, and we're taking more hikes at Caesar Creek.

Update: 9/16/2019

We had to go back to the vet today. Grace developed a really bad limp. She seemed fine when I left for work this morning, but when I got home she was noticeably tender in her right front leg.

I got her in to see the vet and now the suspected prognosis is not good. With all that's been going on in the recent history, the pieces are starting to fall into place. We may be dealing with an aggressive osteosarcoma, and there's not really a whole lot that can be done about that. She has another appointment for x-rays in the morning, and the vet sent home some pain meds to get Grace through the night.

It looks like I'll be the one taking the St. John's Wort now.

I'll keep you posted.

Kudos

Well this sucks. I couldn't use any of the jokes I got this week as they already exist in the archives. Thanks anyway Glenn and George. If you would like to take a crack at submitting a joke we have not used already, I encourage you to try out the submission page or send jokes to flush2x@gmail.com.

Pax,

What is Flush Twice?

Flush Twice is a JOTD (Joke of the Day) website. New jokes are published every Monday through Friday (midnight EST). There is also a comic in the sidebar that updates every Saturday. We’ve been operating since May of 2003.

Jokes are generously provided by visitors like yourself. If you would like to contribute, please check out our submission page, or e-mail flush2x@gmail.com. If you know anyone who constantly e-mails you jokes, forward them to us! We’ll take what we can get!

So what makes a joke funny? Well, it boils down to a sudden shift in perception. The story starts you thinking one way, then the punchline turns that thinking on its ear. The art of the joke is to craft a short story that isn’t overly contrived, then deliver a punchline that suddenly shifts your perception about the story you were being told.

Many of the jokes on this site are offensive, and we make no apologies for it. Offensive jokes work by making the reader uncomfortable through the use of a taboo subject thus enhancing the underlying humor. Without the offensive element, the joke would simply not be as funny.
