There is a lot of emotion contained in these posts! Vail Bentons- it sounds like you had the exact discussions as I did. Your term "counseling" pretty much translates into badgering from my perception, lol.

Thanks, BBH. I think that is what I will do. I am currently crafting a letter of complaint. I'm fairly hardy to blood draws, but their fumbling still turns my stomach. You are right about big dogs, tho mine isn't as large as yours by a long shot, they they are more expensive; more med dosage...

OMG, poor girl! 4 years of suffering with UTI is very painful and bad news for the rest of the system. And I do know how much you care about your dogs. Boy, we sure are at the vet's mercy until we learn more, I think. Thank goodness you found a better vet. Can I ask how you found a good one?

It is a rural area that is quickly becoming suburbia. It has an average income of $151,000 (not me). I suspect this clinic is a city wannabe, catering to those with $$$ moving to the country.

So true! You know many of us on here are looking at what we can grow in terms of herbal medicines. The problem I see is that I can't really finely grind minerals in my mortar and pestle for supplementing to get around this. Vitamin D is a good example; how do we extract high dosages that we in...

I took my Golden Retriever in for her annual a few months ago a bit early because I needed confirmation on her false pregnancy. She has a history of them. Lexie's sire is a Canadian grand champion, dam from England and I have every intention of breeding her once, keeping 2 pups. The false...

Hi! Hi! Hi! Tallman!!!! :frow :frow :frow :frow Good to see you! You too Hardly! What great duck wisdom-actually makes sense, lol!

That sounds wet! We are supposed to get freezing rain and ice pellets for the next two days.

Well, I will ask this since no one else did. Canoeing in Georgia---- Deliverance?!? ;) Were there any noteworthy events in that 3 week stretch?

Congrats on the book! :thumbsup

You are most welcome, Pat! If you think it is that helpful then I will save it to my files for future reference, too.

This worried me because I plan to try my hand at cheese making this year. I know you thoroughly research your projects, so the mold is disturbing. I found this where the author states that waxing should be done for less than 40% moisture cheese to prevent mold ...

I have not, but I do want to try Porter's Liniment Salve. A bunch of us were sitting around on break looking at a Lehman's catalog and the consensus was that Porters was fantastic. I will ask about those which you are interested next week. Hopefully someone here can answer before then. :)

Yeah, I'm psychic like that, lol. :cool:

A friend has the same problem with wheat and dairy. She brings a homemade potato salad, baked chicken and fresh fruit to all functions. She has soy issues, as well, so she makes her own mayo.

A Newfoundland mix puppy wandered into my yard a couple years ago. He was only 8 weeks old. I had no dog at the time, but absolutely no spare money to feed the puppy into adulthood. I posted signs and an ad in the paper, but I was certain he was a drop-off. I wanted to keep him so badly but...

I figured that it must not be as serious as mine was when you bounced back the next day, lol! The great aspect to your starting this thread is that we now have a number of remedies to draw from. I am sure that with all the work the majority of SS'ers are doing, someone will have a rotator cuff...

What a nice set up! How sweet that they are so affectionate.

A town close to us has an ordinance against pit bulls. When the pit bull owners saw it coming they began crossing the pits with labradors, poodles, you name it, etc. They were still gaming these cross bred dogs. Now, with an amended ordinance, if it has even a slight semblance to a pit; it goes...
