Hello Cindy!

Replying to a message of Cindy Haglund to Shawn Highfield:

 CH>  Okay.  As said in other reply, some natures are hard to tame.

  Exactly, and that's all I was trying to say. :)  

 CH>  wow. 20 years. that's something. We did find a good vet when we e
 CH> moved here to TX but he just retired. So we're with a new one, and
 CH> wiser for the wear believe me.

  I found him back 20 years ago when he was the only vet who stayed late
on a Saturday when Princess was acting crazy.  (She was 16 years old and
started to do what looked like the funky chicken).  He took one look at her,
knew it was an alergic reaction injected her and she was fine within 5 mins.
  She lived another two or three years after that, and I've never gone any-
where else since.  The practice has grown but the quality of care to our 
pets hasn't changed.  Besides with a name like Dr. Hogg you know he was
BORN to be a vet. ;)

 CH>  Sounds like a very good vet. I hope they're not going extinct now the
 CH> the drug and dog food companies sponsor many vet practices. ....

  I think you just have to interview your vet's much the same way you interview
your bankers.  I put all profecionals through an interview process, and if they
are not willing to talk with me they don't get my business, If they spend 5 mins
to talk to me and I like what they say I'm loyal for life.  

 CH>   :) there are water toys .. They can be very obsessed by the movement
 CH> of water. You could prolly make one instead of buying an overpriced
 CH> toy at pet stores.

  I've made quite a few over the years for dogs (Toys that is) and made scratching
posts and boing boing toys for the cat. (Spring with a puff ball on top, we call
them boing boing toys and the cats go nuts for them!)

  I just keep the lid on the crapper closed for the most part unless he wants to 
play with it for a bit. :)  He also loves to jump on the tub and crawl between the 2
shower curtins when Andrea is in the shower.  Looks at her like he can't believe she
would tourture herself that way. ;)

 CH> Speaking of toys at the pet store. I've never met a dog who wants to
 CH> chew on vinyl. Have you? I'll ask this again iN Doghouse.

  My dogs always played with (Probably politically incorrect but I dont know the
proper name) indian rubber balls, and rawhide bones and that was all they were
interested in.
