Wait, how would he know about a blood clot in Bella's heart? Did they do an autopsy on Bella?
Also, blood clot in the heart sounds an awful lot like a myocardial infarction, which is nobody's idea of a painless ("at least she didn't suffer") way to go.
TimP makes some excellent points. Moy's premise makes no sense.
And Wanders is right on the money too. Sheesh, more photos of Bella on the end table. Old Man Wynter is as screwy as a hardware store. And who eats appetizers out of a cardboard box? Who even brings them over in a cardboard box? Cripes, Mary, couldn't you at least use a paper plate and some Saran Wrap?
For someone who writes only four stories a year, you'd think Moy would be able to put a little more effort into this. Unless, of course, she's more than content to crank out dreck and cash checks.
“I see you kept some of her belongings...” translates to Mary thinking “This guy is a totallly obsessive wacko” as she gazes at multiple pink dog beds, stacks of doggy plush animals, a rack of Bella’s bow ties, and a gallery of more portraits, including two of Bella costumed as both Odette and Odile from “Swan Lake.”
A pulmonary thromboembolism is a blood clot in the lung. Bella allegedly had a coronary thrombosis (i.e., heart attack, myocardial infarction), a blood clot in a coronary artery. Both are painful.
Dang, I was waiting for Myster Wynter to pull out a tiny urn with Bella's ashes.
Where I lived in NY, they had this pet cemetery in Hartsdale. For about 1/3 the cost of a human funeral, you can have a viewing for you pet and a service along with the burial. I wonder if the Santa Royale Pet Semetery provides all of these amenities.
Once again, KM gives us a story and doesn't do her homework. When a human gets a blood clot, it is not "quick" or "painless" and as Equinox18 said, it wouldn't be for a dog as well. And as TimP said, how would Myster Wynter know unless a necropsy is done.
KM is beyond clueless and lazy. She should go back to reading Jane Austen novels and writing poetry.
It is all so surreally badly thought out: the plot, Toby/Mary/Mr Wynter's characters.
Mary's comment that 'well, there is that' is the most passive downbeat thing she's said in weeks, maybe indicating that Mary herself is losing the will to carry on with her platitudinous prying, poking and prodding into other person's private pains...
Also, Bella, no matter how painful it was to get there, really is in a better place than this Debbie downer strip. Maybe she's cavorting with Hobbes.
Mrs. Worth and Mr. Wynter are sitting mighty close to each other on that love seat! Does that presage a new "plot" development? Will Mary leave Dr. Jeff for Saul Wynter? Will Mr. Wynter develop massive fish-induced diarrhea from the salmon spread appetizers? Will any of us care any more? Stay tuned!
Don't be shy! I'd love to hear what you have to say about Mary Worth. Just keep it clean, that's all I ask. This is a FAMILY FRIENDLY blog. I don't want to moderate comments, but I will if I have to.

Mary is giving Mr. Wynter the side-eye, wondering how quickly her orange-glop-on-a-triscuit “treats” will cause a similar blood clot to take effect.

ReplyDeleteMr. Wynter is to Bella portraits as Mary is to muffins.
ReplyDeleteI think that side-eyed grimace on Mary's face may explain why Myster Wynter isn't very popular. Hopefully there's a can of air freshener nearby.

Blood clot. Quickly. Suffer!
Yes.
Pet cemetery favorite.
Kept belongings...
The photos on the end table look more like pictures of Toby's sculptures than pictures of a real live dog.

ReplyDeletePulmonary thromboembolism is not quick, or painless.

Nance! The Stephen King reference is spot on!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant comments, everyone.

Grumpy Ole Doc
Hobbes is dead??? His life was nasty, brutish, and short.
ReplyDeleteMary's forearm and wrist are think - almost the same diameter as her very long thighs.
ReplyDeleteThick, not think!! Her forearm and wrist are thick. I should learn to proofread.

ReplyDeleteRegina, imagine what Moy's poetry would be like. It would be like Nance's haikus, only without the brilliant and creative titles.
ReplyDeleteDo any of you remember the Taco Bell chihuahua? Bella is with him now in Pooch Paradise.
