Prius in the news.
Reality hits on road to hybrid heaven
I definitely have to look into that federal tax deduction for purchasing a Prius.
Between the car and my medical bills, this is going to be a complicated tax year.

I got some bad news on Tuesday when I got into the office. A friend had called and left a message that there had been a fire at the veterinary hospital I use for my pets. In the past months there had been a lot of construction at the hospital for a new wing and…

Anybody know what’s up with some of the new diaries here? I can’t figure out their purpose. They’ll have real looking names like “JamesHolt” or “Ellenyou” or “MalcolmFloyd”, and they all have (among other things) random sports type references sprinkled throughout them, implying they are trying to get found by search engines. Other than that,…

I’m off-center this morning. I’ve been this way since writing class last night. The class is not what I expected. It’s not what I wanted. I have to decide if it’s what I need, though. It was billed as “writing that first novel”. And, whatever else I might say, it is that. The class is…
The Dilemma
I can’t contact them without giving them a valid address on me as well as some limited other information on myself. And if you read their little set of bylaws, they say they don’t promise to take any action if you do contact them. You’ll have to prove in some way that you are the…
I should be ashamed of myself.
My ex-husband is a pack rat. Not your average pack rat, mind you. He was almost pathologic in his inability to pass up the opportunity to obtain certain items. At one point in our married life we owned four tractors (one worked, some of the time), five cars (two worked, one was completely disassembled and…
I have to order my parents not to give any chocolate to the dogs this Christmas. They always insist that a few pieces won’t hurt them but they can do without it. We can give them something not dangerous instead.
The vets I worked told clients that they could use a buffered aspirin, but that’s been years ago.
Regarding the spam issue, yes, I know it validates my email address. I only do it is there is a disclaimer stating they will not give my address out. 99% of the time I block them, but even that is useless. It does give me abit of satisfication though…
I also warn my friends with dogs about the dangers of onions, not sure if and how they affect cats.
I always refer folks to http://www.doglogic.com for more tidbits.
Alli
Yup, onions, and to a lesser extent garlic, can give dogs and cats a potentially fatal blood disorder called Heinz body anemia. Some people advocate putting a little garlic powder on a dog’s or cat’s food if they won’t eat, to make it more enticing. It does work, and in small amounts can’t harm them. I’ve never felt good about that though, and resort to other tricks to get mine to eat.
Not that they need me to resort to any of those tricks very often!
I remember the first time I told Mrs. Teabags about chocolate being bad for dogs she didn’t believe me. We didn’t have internet or anything like that then, and it took forever to be able to find something to show I wasn’t pulling her leg.
Thanks for the pet care tips!
