Hello Cindy!

Replying to a message of Cindy Haglund to Shawn Highfield:

 CH> Now that's devotion. :) Did you  ever read James Harris "ALl creatures
 CH> big and small (and the sequel). I have the double tome .. from a book

  Oh yes, I have some old hardcovers of those my Mother bought.  Very
good reads.

 CH>  We are wiser for the wear now. Much wiser. One tip that helps is
 CH> remember what is best for the dog. The dog's needs come first. IF it
 CH> seems like they're just fishing for dollars, find anther vet.

  I'd agree with that.

 CH> A brief: If your vet says your dog has a problem... RESEARCH IT before
 CH> agreeing on treatment. If a problem is terminal, you should NOT be
 CH> conned into having the dog's teeth de glazed during xray exams.

  You should also not be suckered into having "bloodwork" or IV's for an
extra charge when they are getting fixed.  My vet has a sign hanging up 
saying the IV is included, and the blood work is something that's only done
if they think there is a reason for it.  (Mike didn't need the blood work as he;s
a perfectly happy healthy cat).

 CH> ((BTW there's a very posh up scale Animal Medical Center not far from
 CH> us and you can bet they're making huge bucks off people ...  like us.
 CH> :( .. never again. Research first. ALways. And that goes for
 CH> ourselves too.

  True enough!  I also don' t like posh up scale places out of princable.  I had my
cancer treatment at a general teaching hosiptal and got the best treatment money
can't buy. ;)

 CH>  :) I like your creativity. It's like when you buy a kid a fancy toy
 CH> they're often happier playing with the box.

  Yep!  Mike mostly prefer's boxes to the toys I make anyway. 

 CH> own there's really no fun in it for him to be stuck in the stroller.
 CH> may as well leave him home.

  Might as well!

 SH>> crawl between the 2 shower curtins when Andrea is in the shower. 
 CH> LOL! That sounds like great fun! Playing. Or he thinks 'is she crazy?
 CH> 

  He thinks "Is she crazy?" we're sure. :)  Just has a shocked look on his 
face, and doesn't really do anything but watch.
