    The dog will be feed twice a day until they get back. YL will not be staying there. Some people don't deserve animals.

    My daughter is living in the house of horrors. Earwigs, ants and a cockroach infestation. I told her to pack her shit up and come home. Go back twice a day to feed the dog. Something ain't right. I reckon these people have fled. The nudity is over.

    You are a good mum. Recognising something's not right and getting her out of the place.

    I was in Coles carpark ready to come. I told her I'd call her back once I got home and put my cold stuff away. Called her back and told her to get home now. Dump all open packets of food there. Load up the car. We're going through one bag at a time.

    The Young Seagoons used to house/pet sit.

    The owners should have left her a contact number in case of questions or emergency. She should call it.

    The scummy house is apparently not unusual.

    Has she checked for cameras? That's what you are worried about, yes?

    I would worry too.

    in fact, now I'm wondering if anything happened like that to the young seagoons ๐Ÿ˜

    Have they paid her anything yet? It might be useful if YL keeps any record of such payment - such as bank account details etc. The cops could possibly use that to trace the house owners/renters. I'm glad the agency has been informed.

    Driving home through clouds was interesting. I have a switch that claims to be for fog lights, but it may just be a placebo as it makes no noticable difference.

    years ago, maybe over 40 years, Melbourne switched all the street lights to an orangey colour , ostensibly to make it safer driving in fog

    then when I came back to Oz over ten years ago I noticed all the lights had changed to white again, led bulbs I think , but higher luminosity

  • Misty moisty morning. No wind, just water hanging in the air like a bad memory.

    Went outside to put my bin out and the council truck was delivering replacement bins to the new residents next door. As it moved down the street it left elegant swirls of moisture in its wake visible under the streetlights. Never seen that before.

    Quarantine has begun. Taking one bag at a time out of her car. All clothes (even clean clothes ๐Ÿ˜ก) are getting a hygiene wash. Everything will be disinfectanted. Found one in her school bag. I sprayed it and the bag and zipped it back up. Yadda yadda yadda. End game the car will be fumigated. Don't know what else to do.

    I'm on coffee 3.

    She fled so fast a tin of strawberry nesquik has losted its lid and is on everything that was in that bag.

    I'm no longer hungry.

    The Nesquik wash will be a spectacular sight. Speaking from experience, and if your machine is a top loader - do not fill machine with water more than half way up the tub. One of my boys did a chocolate nesquik wash with a full tub and it spilled all over the laundry floor. Yes I made him clean it up. Even behind the machine.

    Dunno about front loaders. And strawberry nesquik is easily identifiable as such, unlike chocolate. Sympathies for your situation.

    I thought what would I do. I wouldn't sleep there. I wouldn't even stay there during the day. But I would still fulfil my obligation to feed the dog. That was my advice to YL and she took it.

    Wise decision. I mean, I've had times in my life, when I was really rock bottom depressed for example, and I let the housework go shamefully. But I would always take action on insects and rodents and prevent infestation, no matter how I had to drag myself around to do it. And I would never have people in the house to see my shame or expect someone to stay there and deal with it. That's just awful. How can they not be ashamed?

    Just make sure the YT vijos relate to the correct jurisdiction. Foreign countries having their own laws and all. So very selfish of them.

    thanks, good advice

    it's just about how to approach prep, data collection, how to plan, what to expect

    I've only had one case before and it was in europe, I learnt a lot about how to approach a case, got to have supporting evidence to make a narrative and that ticks the boxes of the law

    and there are two types of adversary, one who sticks to law, one who is a bully, this one is going to be a bully and liar

    Nah its just a blood glucose monitor stickon. I would be very grateful, their discount "trial" is $15. Our local chemist has $125 (pets dont get NDIS).

    So itโ€™s a one off? Yeah Iโ€™ll see how I go, if they let me have multiple to the same address (and whether they get pinched ๐Ÿ˜ฌ)

    Edit: Damn, terms and conditions say you can get stung full price or it gets canceled if they find out you did it multiple times. And it can retroactively alter the agreement. Maybe I can get one from each site then

    Edit 2: I ordered one from Libre and denied authority to leave so it wonโ€™t get pinched. But then the post office might not tell me itโ€™s arrived so ๐Ÿคž Another site didnโ€™t have a trial option so I might come back to that later

    Thatโ€™s ok, no offense taken. I tend to be oddly cagey with giving out some info online (even with trustworthy people) so I really donโ€™t mind just giving it. Itโ€™s nothing compared to what I used to cover with Melbcat.

    Oh and one more thing. I hope Iโ€™m not badgering you.

    But thereโ€™s an organisation that supports you after a diabetes diagnosis if that could come in handy. And a loan of a glucose monitor at home is available https://www.animaldiabetesaustralia.com.au/services/

    There is an initial consult and I canโ€™t tell if the vet is currently in Melbourne or Queensland but that looked useful.

    awesome. that's what we're doing atm with our AEC specialist. Good to know it's protocol.

    I actually have a BGM - non diabetic hypoglycemic - but did pick up a set of different lancets for the cerybeast. Since my actual reader isn't tied to any record keeping, I can just use that and manually write her values if need be.

    Edit: Never mind, a sensor that comes off canโ€™t be reattached.

    Places like Vet Shed online have cohesive bandages that could protect the new one. Sometimes they wrap it over taped IV cannulas to stop the pet chewing them out. (Maybe diagonal going under one front leg to over the other shoulder if a figure 8 would put pressure on her neck.)

    Also lol they recommend superglue https://www.vss.net.au/videos/application-of-a-libre-sensor.html

    Surgical glue is great - the usual vet didnt use enough, hence why she was able to groom it off. And now a nasty raw area poor baby, I gotta call them today and find out if i can get cat-friendly cream at my local chemist

    Would a bodysuit prevent grooming it off while still allowing you to check it?

    The grooming isn't so much the problem as them plonking the new one right on the nape where we make the bloody tent to inject.

    She loves wearing shirts, so if grooming becomes a thing we'll just put her collection of sleeveless tees on.

    I know :( If it helps at all I was varying the injection sites to spread the punctures, so would sometimes do it a little bit to the sides or lower down and it worked.

    The other place or feline diabetes forums would be able to give more useful info

    Edit: Ok itโ€™s actually good to rotate injection sites and there are other ones than the scruff. If this saves you spending another $200 ๐Ÿคž https://catbloomhaven.com/cat-insulin-injections/#step-3-choose--rotate-cat-insulin-injection-sites
