It’s Burn With Me, by @kelkat9.  (I feel like I should’ve known that - ::forehead slap!!::)

I figure most of these have been sitting in my mailbox for a while- sorry!

The first wave of @dwfandomcardexchange​ cards! 

My thanks to @ladydiomede​, @parallelunivrses​, @zoebelle9, @shadowtiel​, @notthatmelody​, @9hiddenshallows​, @benty67​, @creativebec​

Gosh I wish you lived in Australia where pet insurance is very inexpensive. People can be real sh***y. Sorry you had to experience that Nancy. Give Smokey cuddles for me X

Thank you. I know that people do Dr. Google and try to find home remedies, but all I wanted was some first hand experience to aid in my research. Oh well...

Hey, Im sorry you got sh** for asking opinions on stuff. I’ve been going through a tough few months with my cat as well, I don’t know if this is for all cats, or just diabetic ones, but one of the things I need to do when she’s not eating, is put this goo she’s been prescribed miratax(sp?) in her ear, it stimulates her appetite. I have also been giving her subcutaneous fluids myself, also prescribed. Maybe one of these things could be a thing to ask for your kitty to get her to eat..?

Mirataz! Smokey’s gotten that, but it seemed to stop working. And her ears are irritated right now. :/ So I got the pill version, and it is definitely helping. Thanks for convincing me to not give up on it.

Subq fluids are the #1 treatment for kidney disease. Smokey hates them, but she tolerates it long enough for me to get her daily dose of fluids in. And yes, if we miss more than a day, her appetite gets even worse.

So sorry you were treated that way. I am by no means an expert, but I do have a house full of geriatric dogs and if you ever need an ear, you can always feel free to reach out to me. I am always willing to listen, whether you want to vent or ask questions or just need someone to talk to Smokey about I am here for you!

<3 Thank you. Sometimes I just need to vent. This is so exhausting.

Hey...we don't all have unlimited funds. Asking for advice is totally legit. {{hugs}}

Exactly. I can’t afford to try random drugs without knowing it’s actually worked for someone. 

The highlight of my days lately have been receiving cards in the mail. I am so sorry that it has taken me so long to post these, but each and everyone of them have brought such a huge smile to my face!

AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH I DON’T KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  She’s definitely using Eve, and she definitely has her own long game that she’s playing (haha that phrase forever makes me think of the dw ep :) ), but I don’t know what that IS.  I go back and forth on whether Carolyn is “good” but manipulative, or whether she’s a double agent who also works for the Twelve or whomever else.  She is a mystery to me except for that she definitely has her own agenda.

I got a few more Christmas cards @dwfandomcardexchange :)

Does what it says on the tin!

I don’t know if I can rank these folks (except Rose, she’ll always be no. 1, #sorrynotsorry) so they’re pretty much just gonna pop up in the order they come to mind. :D

ROSE BAMF TYLER

What can I say that hasn’t already been said? Perfectly human, wonderfully dimensional, understandably flawed; compassionate and selfish and clever and just generally amazing. She’s in love, but that’s not the only thing she is. Absolutely one of the best-written (and best-acted) characters I’ve ever encountered. And of course Billie Piper’s performance is so absorbing it’s easy to think of Rose as a real person, rather than a character. Love, love, love.

Ten(too)

Uggggh he’s so pretty and David Tennant’s performance is so good and his character is just so well-written and dimensional and full of joy and anger and sadness and madness all at the same time and just a;ldkfja;sldkfja;sldkfja;sldkfj alskdjf;alsdkjfa;sldkfjas;dlfkjds

Nine

see above re: compliments and keyboard-flails

Donna Noble

Donna wins for best/worst character arc, in that it’s beautiful and poignant, and also makes you want to smash things

Martha Jones

Ahhh Martha my love, so smart, so beautiful, so capable, so fed-up with the Doctor’s bullshit. I luff her

Jackie Tyler

So just like the other companions’-moms in the RTD-era, Jackie initially suffers from a case of Extremely Unflattering and Flanderized Portraits of Overbearing Motherhood(tm) only to rise from the ashes like a fully-developed well-realized phoenix. As series 1 and 2 go on, Jackie just becomes increasingly more likeable and sympathetic, and I love how her relationship with Mickey develops. 11/10 excellent surrogate-mom-ing

Eight

Admittedly I’m not super well-acquainted with his material outside of the show, but even if the movie is cheesy af, Paul McGann’s charm is unmistakable, his enthusiasm fucking contagious. I would love to see more of his Doctor onscreen. (insert obligatory rant here re: how he got robbed in the 50th. ::shakes fist at Moff and co.::)

Mickey Smith

I just have a big ol’ soft spot for Mickey...he kind of reminds me of the better parts of Xander from Buffy, except that he isn’t a Nice Guy(tm), he’s a nice guy who’s fiercely loyal and smarter than folks (::coughthedoctorcough::) give him credit for. Another character with a brilliant arc. I know some folks feel like his match with Martha is a case of Pair the Spares or whatever but I think they’re great together--he’s going to make her feel wanted and adored, and she’s going to make him feel important and needed, and, of course, vice versa. Good stuff.

Harriet Jones

Look I just like her a lot okay and also her decision re: the Sycorax was perhaps not super “honorable” or whatever but also like. It’s super understandable. And to her credit, as far as we’re aware, the Earth goes largely unfucked-with for the rest of the season, til the finale. So, results! Also the Doctor did her dirty which, didn’t that just open the door for the Master/Saxon to assume power? Didn’t it? Yikes Just sayin’.

Wilf

Ultra loveable, fantastic one-off companion. The wonderful grandparent everyone deserves to have. Also my granny has both of those exact headbands. :D
