Your parking lot and the lady sound lovely! Hopefully her prices won’t get posh! We have to park outside (no garage at our house) and our car is permanently marked with pigeon poo. Fortunately it’s not corrosive like bat poo! I once parked my car under a ficus tree in Sydney for the entire...

We were talking about rising vet costs in Reuben’s thread, but I can’t find it! So posting this article here: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2024/apr/06/vet-who-really-profits-from-poorly-pets?CMP=share_btn_url It’s an old article—2024. But it’s been sitting in my open tabs (163 tabs...

What a wonderful idea to combine an orchard and a parking lot. ❤️ (As opposed to paving over the ground) What kinds of trees does she grow? And is it messy parking under tress?

I know a human pharmacist who sold his pharmacy (all of them are being bought up by the big corporate pharmacies) and started a wholesale pet medication business. You have to be a pharmacist to dispense the drugs to the vets. He’s also a dog food wholesaler. He’s raking it in.

What a relief!!

For me, the issue is all the unnecessary tests and procedures. I have no issue paying for what is needed. But when Snowie’s vet sold to a big corporate, suddenly he needed a surgical procedure with a GA every 3 months!! And we were so vulnerable, we just did it. These were lumps that could...

Snowie was a vet practice’s dream because of all the procedures and meds he needed over time. Fortunately we were insured. When compared to human meds, dog meds sometimes cost 60% more. There was a comparison done here recently by a consumer protection journalist. And we’re talking same for...

Carbon, your tail!! The Best wagger in town! That kitty knew you were a real gentleman.

Carbon, you are The Best! Such a waggily tail and a happy face. You put a smile on both my and my husband’s face when I showed him the videos. Seriously, you should have a travel show! I was listening to The Naked Scientist Dr Chris Smith talking about new research that finds that dogs...

He really is a testament of your loving care. Beautiful boy ❤️

He is adorable. I’ve always loved the gingers. ❤️

Yaaayyyyy! Can’t wait to hear more about your adventures, Senor!

I’m so sorry. That is a lot to bear. Thinking of you and hoping only good things happen for you from now on. xxx

Snowie hated any brush that was metal or had sharp tines. I think it hurt his skin. He had very sensitive skin. Perhaps Carbon, too? Which is why he doesn’t like the brush? I used a rubber mitt on Snowie. It had “bristles” (very short rubber knobby things), but I think the fur just stuck to the...

Just love that photo of her draped over your legs. Feeling safe and so comfortable with you. ❤️ It warms my heart seeing our dogs having their safe space with their humans.
