Carry her to your car in a towel. She'll be okay and it's very cold. And you can care for her tomorrow when it's safer. I will make any calls to see if there are services to pick her up.
Mal: Well, you were right about this being a bad idea. Zoe: Thanks for sayin', sir.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I'm so sorry, msbelle. I think you can wrap her in a blanket and keep her someplace cool/cold and dry -- if your car is the only option there, then I don't see why not. This must be so hard.
And then in the morning, call/go to the vet to find out about options for her remains. I'm so sorry. How awful.
But I think the safest thing is to wait until the morning to drive anywhere.
I will make any calls to see if there are services to pick her up.
Oh, that's a good thought, Cass. I hadn't thought of that.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I wrapped her up and carried her to the car. I’ll call the vet in the morning.
Thanks all.

Oh no, msbelle. I’m so very sorry. What everyone said about tonight and you can call her vet in the morning and they’ll let you know what to do. Sending love.

You'll likely bring her to her vet and the aftercare services will pick her up from there. But they might have home services available.
I'm sorry.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I’m so sorry, msbelle

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
msbelle, I'm so sorry. This is heartbreaking.
And hello, Buffistas. Just came to say that I see the headlines coming from the US part of the world and think of you. Hang in there and be safe, with the weather and the politics.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!
I'm so sorry, msbelle.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Oh msbelle, I'm so sorry.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm so sorry, msbelle. It is so hard. Sending love.
Hi Shir, always good to see you drop by, even if it is being inspired by the crazy world events.
They are washing the windows of my building today and I am watching the ropes blowing in the wind. I may have to close the shutters because I am going to be nauseous just watching them.
