liv is hosting a non-fandom friending meme over on Dreamwidth. I'm a little friending-meme shy, but in the spirit of trying to give myself more reasons to be on Dreamwidth, I signed up.

My friending-policy on DW is currently to give access to anyone who adds me, as long as you appear to be an actual person. If I've failed to give you access, it's either because I didn't get 'round to it yet (give me a day or so) or because I've mistaken you for fictional. Please feel free to correct that impression with a comment.

My friending policy on LJ is somewhat different. Anyone can add me, but I don't automatically friend back unless we've met in the flesh or exchanged comments at some time. LJ being bigger and less friendly, I'm a bit paranoid about being friended by strangers.

Poppy

I finally made a Poppy icon :)

Tomorrow, Poppy goes to the vet for her first surgery. Her leg has been getting steadily worse all week. What's most heartbreaking is the way she tries to hide it: she'll stand there with her toes just touching the ground, so it looks like she's balanced, but if you watch closely you can see she's not putting any weight on it. I swear she'd doing it intentionally.

Anyway, if all goes well, she's got eight weeks of recovery ahead before the next surgery.

I'll let you all know how she is as soon as I can. In the meantime, please send lots of positive thoughts her way. I don't know what we'd do without her if anything goes wrong.
