Remember, my quest to get written prescriptions with plenty of refills so that getting Lilly her medications wasn’t such a hassle?

Last week, during one of our regular walks, Lilly and I got chased down by a couple of spaniels with whom we’ve had trouble (off and on) for years. Considering that Lilly is suddenly hiding again inside the house (behind the toilet, in the basement, etc.), I suspect the scare is having lasting effects.

I learned yesterday that a blog owner in the UK is feeding my copyrighted blog content (and a bunch of others) into his blog. He lists someone else as the author. Can you say “copyright infringement”? I’m pretty sure it’s all done automatically, including Tweets on Twitter to drive more traffic to his site.
