love is the seventh wave

The Second Ninja and I went to the vet today, as her right hind leg is still bothering her. She was a very good girl; although she complained all the way there, all the way through the exam, and all the way home, she put up with all the poking and prodding. The X-rays didn't find anything, so at least we know she's not running around on something broken or dislocated. We have pain medication for the weekend and are going to keep her in the TV/guest room, which has fewer objects she will be tempted to try to jump up on.

While I was waiting, I flipped through a CatFancy which (for a change) actually had something of interest:

Pet Crossing Animal Hospital, in Minnesota, has a partnership with Cornerstone, a Minnesota domestic abuse prevention agency, to provide no-cost boarding and medical care for the pets of domestic abuse victim. Something like 45% of people in abusive situations will not leave if it means they have to abandon their animals, so Pet Crossing's initiative is a wonderful, wonderful thing, both for the animals and for their people, and I'm glad to know about it.
