Garbage gut.

Marley has been diagnosed with colitis due to "dietary indiscretion." In other words, she's a garbage gut. I've been saying for years I didn't know how she hadn't had a bowel obstruction by now. But she'll be just fine. She got a shot to prevent vomiting and some anti-inflammatories so her guts will start feeling better. She also can't eat until tomorrow morning and even then has to eat a prescribed ultra-bland canned food that will help rebuild her colon colonies. (I really like how those words look together - "colon colonies." They're a matching set.)

Poor Marley girl... or "Marney," as Mateo calls her. As for now, she rests. At least she tries to. She was getting irritated with my picture taking.

She kept moving from place to place to get away.
She eventually turned her back on me.
Pixel, on the other hand, is always a willing subject.
