I...There is so much I want to say about this post.<br /><br />I will never let my animals touch caffeine, acidic foods, or alums, but that's about all that is off limits. I'm horrible at feeding them from the table and giving them a taste of what I am eating.<br /><br />Euthanize an animal just to teach the staff a lesson?! That's absolutely monstrous. I can't describe what I would do to someone who did that whether I worked for them or not.<br /><br />I have 20 animals (mostly rodents), 6 were planned. Once someone finds out you take in animals they start dumping them on you. I live in the city, so it happens often. If people would be more willing to give up their daily $5 cup of coffee than their pet, I'd be more sympathetic.<br /><br />And finally, you are absolutely right about helping people by helping their animals. Not only do the elderly count on their animals but so do the disabled both mentally and physically and someone who has gone through a trauma. I have a cat who could sense when I was suicidal and would lay on my chest and purr, preventing me from getting up until the urge passed.Sarah LM Klaudahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01523742090344884883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4667516629745731439.post-19878325719706614782012-12-27T05:29:49.354-08:002012-12-27T05:29:49.354-08:00If my dog didn't get meds for a painful surger...If my dog didn't get meds for a painful surgery, I'd kick the vet myself with steel toed boots. I wonder if a lot of vets research less expensive or holistic healing such as ear massages and chamomile. While it won't do anything for really painful procedures, it might help with needing as much drugs.Sarah LM Klaudahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01523742090344884883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4667516629745731439.post-81667460222315958862012-11-20T17:22:09.543-08:002012-11-20T17:22:09.543-08:00А tablet and a laρtop come togetheг at http://www....А tablet and a laρtop come togetheг at http://www.<br />squidoo.com/samsung-ativ-smaгt-pс-pro-700t-reνiew<br /><i>Also visit my site</i> : <b><a href="http://www.Anxietysymptomsinmen.net/" rel="nofollow">anxiety symptoms in women</a></b>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4667516629745731439.post-48933731874552365282012-05-05T17:00:01.593-07:002012-05-05T17:00:01.593-07:00Hi Y'all,
Every time Hawk goes to our vet the...Hi Y'all,<br /><br />Every time Hawk goes to our vet there is another stray cat living in the clinic. No, they aren't up for adoption. They are official "clinic greeters". One lives in the waiting room. She has a fuzzy house she stays in most of the time. I never asked what happens if your dog hates cats. <br /><br />Thanks for the heads up about the pain meds! Yikes! I've always been sent home with pain meds for Hawk...but that is scary that your pet might not be getting pain meds for a painful procedure. I'll invite them to work on a horse and see how they feel about no pain meds. Yep, a big steel shod horse with big hooves that kick and strike. <br /><br />BrownDog's HumanFANCY the Red Standard Poodlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17369189341017481001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4667516629745731439.post-55816143080840775762012-04-27T19:58:22.663-07:002012-04-27T19:58:22.663-07:00Wow, I was so hoping that such attitude towards pa...Wow, I was so hoping that such attitude towards pain management was extremely rare! Now I see that maybe it is not. I am so happy our vet is very serious about adequate pain management. But that's no surprise, he's is awesome all around.DawgBloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03549947489170037163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4667516629745731439.post-6458106565697346822012-04-27T08:45:36.867-07:002012-04-27T08:45:36.867-07:00I don't give my cats chocolate, per say, but m...I don't give my cats chocolate, per say, but my cat Sugar turned out to actually have a sweet tooth!! She LOVES licking the sour sugar off pink sour licorice straws, she loves mochi (kind of a Japanese candy), she likes honey-nut Cheerios (only if she thinks she's stealing one-she'll slooowly reach into my bowl, grab one, then run off to eat it). <br /><br />The only thing I give her that has any chocolate in it is my chocolate breakfast shake. She likes sharing it with me, so after I've mixed it, I take off the lid and give it to her to lick. There's maybe one or two drops on it, and if I put more on after she's finished, she won't eat it.<br /><br />So there's my confession.Beccity98https://www.blogger.com/profile/13890604251685269612noreply@blogger.com
