I was going to respond with something else, but it will come as flirty. So I changed it with a heart.

Ow ow ow. I needed to stitch up some holes in a pair of pants of mine last night and my mending posture must have been extra super shrimpy, because my upper back hurt like fuuuck after I finished. Had some naproxen at 4 am and it barely touched the pain. Super double ow. So of course today has to be the day I'm going to a birthday party which involves 40 minutes of driving either way, as well as the time spent there. Lying in bed doesn't really make anything better but I still want to just... go to bed and feel sorry for myself rather than head out.
Best hope I guess is that a hot shower will loosen things up. It's not really a spot where a wheat pillow hot pack thing can easily be applied, especially while upright. MUCH PAIN SUCH OW.

Honey, you should see me in a crown.
My dog is sick. She has lost about 6kg. She's an eight year old retired racing greyhound. The vet doesn't know what has caused it but she has inflamed bowels. She has loose poops and vomits several times a day, every day. It's very upsetting.
Her name is Neve and she's a very good girl. I feel guilty because I've never given her as much attention as she deserves. Ex racing greyhounds are the sweetest and gentlest dogs and Neve wouldn't hurt a fly and loves with all of her heart. I want to smash my head into something. Why is she suffering like this?

The vet might have already made some suggestions but the things that immediately come to mind are dietary concerns. Do you know her vaccination record at all? I hope she got parvo shots when she was a puppy, but you would be in a better position to know that.
She will probably benefit heavily from a lot of attention right now. She almost certainly needs lots of fluids and some food that's very easy on the GI tract.

That has to be so rough on both of you. My cats got diagnosed with kidney disease on my birthday last year and it’s been super stressful even if the only major change has been switching their food.
Hopefully your vet has some ideas for venues to look, or maybe you can reach out to a veterinary nutritionist for a consult to see if they can think of something that could help with the inflammation.
Pets love and forgive. Give her hugs and heat and attention and cuddles now. She’s not going to hold it against you if you could have done more in the last week or month or year than you did. She cares about now. Focus on that.

She is vaccinated (to the best of my knowledge) but I don't know the exact details of what shots she has had. I am going to phone the vet and the rescue organization I adopted her from to get more information.
Even vaccinated dogs can contract parvo but it's exceedingly rare. Definitely keep in touch with the vet for proper care recommendations re: diet and medication, and keep her comfortable as she tries to recover. Something like a fecal test to detect parvo antigens would likely remove doubt one way or the other though a negative test is not a guarantee. Keep her spaces as clean as possible.

I can ship you some bags. Sorry about the wet soggy ones.

I guess I should tell boyfriend to bring some back from the US with him if they’re more common there. I’m used to wet nuts (usually rinse my peanuts because they’re way oversalted), but shelling the pistachios got to be a pain when they got all wet-salt-slippery.
Shell them before rinsing them perhaps?

When they are factory roasted, they overall are dine with heavy salt as a natural preservative.
Pistachios from Turkey are hit or miss. I've bought huge pistachio bags only to have them rot. One thing the US gets right is light and no salt and shelled pistachios.
Hilariously, despite being in a total water deprived State, we have a unique quality pistachio. And are the largest producer of cheese in the world.
They do originate from areas with arid climates, makes sense.

Probably will try that next time - I was hoping rinsing first would make less of a mess, but it didn’t really, so…

Pistachios are nothing compared to pine nuts. I spend a lot of time getting pine nuts out of pinecones and peeling them. After an hour of squirrel like work I get a modest slide that I can swallow at a time.
You wouldn't be doing it if you didn't think it was worth it.

So, eating a cracker, he's the flesh of Jesus, doesn't bother you at all? Or give wine to children...
Just stay away from the church. Although, I suppose it's difficult in Texas.

I am an atheist and I don't regret it for a single day.
Although the Buddhists and Satanists of Laveyan cause me sympathy. Pagans are also fun.
