:nod: I hear ya, I think it needs to be talked about, their lives need to be remembered and honored. I would hope, that the sheer volume of this will help impart stricter isolation protocols, but I also know, that with the nature of the shelter environment that it is really really difficult...

Oh what a close call for a lovely little girl....so glad she's with you now! Im more partial to weird names....and personally i really like Lemon :) (although she really isn't a lemon - but again quirky names :wink: ) but on a more realistic note, what about... Lizzy? Lexi ? Lottie?

yippeee!! i loves her :) so gorgeous

Not that I'm condoning this, but I recently took a veterinary CE course on shelter medicine and someone brought up a shelter that they worked at in the states somewhere that had a ringworm outbreak. It is nearly impossible to contain in a shelter-like environment as proper isolation protocols...

I would think that maybe it wouldn't be so much based on the type of hay (legume etc) but more so the chop length? Although because they specified GRASS hay than maybe Alice has the right train of thought in regards to avoiding legume hay although to me, chop length and type of hay would affect...

slightly random but thought it fits :) We have baby geese on a busy road by our house right now (what goose nesting ground doesnt i guess lol) anyway - its a busy 4 lane road, speedlimit is only 50 but its not uncommon to see people going 60, 70 km/h anyway - people stop for the geese when the...

sure dogs love bread and butter..... do they love the pancreatitis that ensues? stupid people

or if you even have a lid off a glass juice bottle...that makes that clicky sound when you press on it (please someone know what im talking about! lol) http://www.clickertraining.com/cattraining

Males with undescended testicles (cryptorchids) are typically sterile or have reduced fertility (due to warm body temperatures affecting sperm motility i think among other things) however they still have the hormones etc (thats why in dogs it is still very common to neuter cryptorchid dogs) It...

Having worked at an emergency veterinary clinic for the last 5 years, it is actually sickening the number of people that hit animals and do not stop. period. regardless of cat or dog, urban or rural setting, owner present or not. I could count on one hand the number of HBC's that have had...

I agree 100% there. I understand that you want to help your mom, and potentially protect her from your sister - but (i can't think of a more apt way of saying it...but) this isn't your responsibility. I think that it's great that you want to form a supportive unit with your mom during this...

I sit firmly in the camp that BSLs do not solve problems. people that cannot own pits will just get another breed that is not recognized under the particular BSL - look at the HUGE increases in the populations of mastiff type breeds since 2005. very. very. poor band-aid solution to a problem...

Personally I think the fact that he enjoys spending so much time with you should be taken in pride (1. because it is basically the best thing in the world to be loved unconditionally by anything and 2. he's a cat. not a labrador (:giggle:) he's picked you for a reason). But if you're really...

Yup he's from GHS Annnnd this morning Hawkeye came down to be fed brekkie and stayed down for about an hour after (instead of running upstairs!) I took Blue out of his crate and had him on lead (so he couldnt chase Hawk) and I could continually divert his attention AND eventually he sat down...

lol that would require him to know he has a bum! he loves targeting though, im sure i can teach him hind end awareness somehow.... :think:

Brian and I have been looking to add another set of paws to the family, and earlier this week...we did! Meet Blue: The shelter picked him up as a stray, and we were told that he is a year old (obviously by their estimation) however I would say there's no chance he's over 8 months. He must've...

:yeah:

Awe Hun - Im so sorry for your loss :( In time the pain will fade - but her memories will ALWAYS remain :hugs:

:thud: they are gorgeous - what lucky little boys! :heart:

Totally my favorite version too :thumbup: also LOVE LOVE LOVE that Leroy song :heart: lol and now that im listening to that my mind has gone blank... *blink* The song Handlebars by Flobots has really grown on me.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLUX0y4EptA as well as punch drunk...
