Correction

After watching TV tonight I retract most of the comments I made earlier deploring the state of cleanliness in my house. It still grosses me out, but, there are no bugs, rodents, mold, food, or other health risk piled anywhere. Eww, I can't describe this place on TV that had a roach infestation. We've had one spider in the house, it was huge, and came in from the garden, other than that, I suppose it really just resembles a messy guy place, not a place below third-world standards.

Now I feel better.

In other news, my roommate's puppy has a benign tumor on his side, it's getting big quickly (i.e. three days ago it was a bump, typical mole size, today it's around gumball size). The veterinarian doesn't want to operate, and we're progressing under the assumption that it'll just fall off... or something. It doesn't seem to cause him any pain or irritation, he'll let you poke it and squeeze it all day without flinching, and we've only caught him chewing on it once. I think it was just coincidental that he was chewing on his bump, the dog seems to chew on any bodily protrusion that gets too close to his mouth. Really, he'll chew on anything that gets too close to his mouth. It took months to break him of chewing as a sign of affection. I really wish the vet had just decided to knock the dog out and slice the damn thing off, it grosses me out.
