No.

Or your furry pal will be dug up by someone hungry. So really, cremation is the right thing to do here I think.

I go on week days all the time and never have problems.

It’s a shit show here too. I worked in the field for over a decade and got out because I was tired of being gaslit about COLAs/how racist and toxic it can be. The people that thrive in this industry are generally a certain type of privileged person who has a partner that is bringing in the money. People stay at their jobs for decades. He’s not going to have an easier time here unfortunately. One of my pals has similar qualifications, graduated at the top of her class, and only got a full time position after six years.

The closest one I’ve found is in Queens.

If they could afford a nanny maybe? I’m assuming OP isn’t rich and that their partner isn’t a stay at home parent. I don’t think it’s fair that the other parent should run themselves ragged for an ENTIRE WEEK instead.

“Edge”

That would leave his partner to be the primary parent. Rough stuff.

Adams Morgan Animal Hospital is great. When it’s not busy the vet techs love to pop in to give my cat love and treats to reinforce a positive (pawsitive?) experience with the vet office. One time we made an emergency visit but the problem resolved itself on the way, so they checked her over to be sure and let us go for free. I love everyone that works there.

If you’re in a bind, there’s an emergency vet on M in West End. They’re also great and took excellent care of us.

They make slipcovers for Ikea on a site called Bemz. For a couple hundred bucks you can have a new couch.

I need to learn how to fuck the system over more on my behalf, true. Really regret not doing PPP Loan fraud, for example. EDIT: THAT WAS A JOKE, NSA AGENT LOOKING ME UP.

Do you mind sharing how much that usually costs?

The pandemic isn’t over and people who are immunocompromised, keeping others in their community safe, or just don’t want to risk COVID deserve space to recreate outside of their homes safely. Get on the metro or don’t come to the city. We won’t miss you 🤷🏻

It would be cruel to the animal to brush out those mats. The neighbor didn’t take care of her fur and now has to deal with the consequences. If the owner can’t continue to take care of her fur, then shaving may be a new regular occurrence.

They have been doing free community testing in my neighborhood. It’s likely part of the same program.
