I'm a Moderate Democratic mouse who has Asperger's. Most of what I repost or share is stuff I can agree with or would support, and I usually squeak sometimes and there are some things that I feel concerned or nervous about at this time.

@misserinrenee.bsky.social

I noticed a suspicious sore/bald spot on Floor's dewlap 2 days ago, so we made an appointment. Dr. Nick said it looks like an injury (probably a bite or scratch from a bonding date last week 🙁) but it's already healing up, which is good news. I just feel bad that I didn't notice when it happened.
