DOG DIAPERS: Awfully awful

Workmate's reserved Yorkie puppy is currently 1 day old. At first I said "aw", then I opened my mouth to say "I have a beagle" and instead hastily closed it in alarm when I felt an additional speech crowding up to my tongue along the lines of "Don't get a sweet adorable puppy because it will only break your heart when it is slowly and evidently painfully dying and is still so sweet and precious and it's your little baby but you can't really help it and it's all feeble and also pretty disgusting." So there's that.

The Crazy has been acting extra crazy as well as having extra stinkiness for a few days and has also started filling the dog's water dish with plaster dust, which she tracks from the litter box every couple of hours before having a little playtime splashing her feet around in it. Perry appears to have a UTI and other probably more serious problems. The stress is astronomical.
