LUV Meeting and Farewell Dantalion

[tcpip]

Andrew Pam spoke today at Linux Users of Victoria giving an incredibly extensive overview of the current state of various games with plenty of demonstrations. After that was our usual ten minute committee meeting, which is always a pleasure considering that we have at least three speakers a month, fifteen hundred members, and regional chapters. It is amazing how much easier committee meetings can be when you have an organisation that (a) has processes set in place and (b) makes use of any form of communication to ensure that everyone's opinion has been incorporated prior to meetings. I rather suspect that some other community organisations could learn from this.

After the Linux meeting came home to discover that one of our rabbits, Dantalion, had developed a serious urinary tract infection. Took him to an emergency vet who gave the news that he may have to undergo surgery etc., and there wasn't even assurance that would see the end of his problems. With some regret caseopaya and I decided it was time for euthanasia. He never seemed to be a particularly happy or friendly hopper, despite our best efforts and concerns. Sleep well lagamorph, you at least did bring some amusement to our lives.

Lev, I don't know the details obviously but if the rabbit was peeing red this can be normal. If it was a stone or suspected stone you might want to adjust the amount of calcium in the diet (less lucerne hay I think - take a look at rabbit welfare fund website tho). If it was a girl uterine cancer is common, so Spey early.

Dantelion will reincarnate as a beautiful work of art. I'm not sure if it will help but I discovered that he did have a lot more troubles. I'm no vet but there were a number of tumours in his poor little body. Sad as it is, I think you did the right thing.
