website for fellow dog lover

Posted By: just me on 2007-03-05
In Reply to: just me, does that company have a website? If so, would you post it please? - Thanks! Pro Purse Puppy Lady nm

Hi. Its www.inthecompanyofdogs.com 


when I was living in North Carolina I met a wonderful older lady at the vet who had her dog in a car seat and gave me the catalog. I Love this catalog. It can be on the expensive side, but the carseat was totally worth it. He loves it. When I get in car he goes in the back and jumps right in it. It took a little time in the beginning, so I gave him treats when he jumped in it.  It has good restraints too.  but there is another website called GWlittle.com that has carseats that are little less expansive than mine and pretty similar.

Well fellow MTs

I'm working away (it's 10:30 p.m. PST) and just wanted to wish all my fellow MTs a lovely Tuesday evening.  May your shift be filled with more than enough work courtesy of outstanding clinicians doing the dictation.


Have a fabulous evening


Here are some tips from a fellow
I have really curly hair and I only wash it once a week with organic shampoo.  It does not have sodium laureth sulfate in it, which really makes your hair frizzy and tangled.  I also use a good quality conditioner and put it in my hair (just a little) between washings and work it through with my fingers.  Good luck.  It took me into my 20s to really appreciate my hair.  I think less is more as far as doing stuff with it.  Don't cut it, you'll regret it later because sometimes curly won't sit right cut short. 
been there done that with fellow MT/friend

I was friends with this girl for years.  She is also an MT.  Thanks to me!  Anyway, she thinks she knows everything and anything and she is not very popular among our other friends either.  I finally had enough of the friendship and let it go.  We dont even talk now because she is just too much work. 


I dont think that you are overreacting at all. 


A fellow member . . .
of the loss of a child. I understand and sympathize with you. I too lost a son 16 years ago in a tragic accident. He was 23 at the time. Yes, it does change your life forever. We all grieve differently, and somehow find our way back to a life. For me, it was our other only child, a son, that made me, forced me to make my house a home again back then. I thought about how my deceased son would want us to go on, and how it was hurting him to see us in so much pain. I thought about death a lot, and that we are all walking toward that end one day. I thought about how I need to help make my other son happy again. That helped me to gain some semblence of a life again. Now, I see death as part of life and try to focus on what I make of my life, and how I can make it happy for my loved ones. Yes, my husband and son, and I think of our lost one, but we try to think of him with a smile and how some day we will be reunited again. My sympathy to you and your family. It is not easy. You are so fortunate to have other children. God bless you all and give you happiness.
I remember cat-sitting for a fellow-MT once.
She was a first-time cat owner also. They had a little Maine coon, and she claimed he didn't play. She was only a year old, so I thought that was strange. I dragged a string for her and she proceeded to show me an extremely playful side, leaping onto the couch, running across the back, leaping to a chair ... I was rolling on the floor over this supposed non-playing cat. So make sure you leave a string toy. Or do you have one of those wants with a feather on it? or the other fishing-rod style toys. My cats were crazy for those toys that required owner involvement. And forget trying to read - my cats insisted I pay attention to the game during play. Cat servant indeed.
My fellow transcriptionists..for tomorrow (sm)
I challenge one of you to come up with something very interesting for us all to talk with...co-workers we are, shooting the breeze. I have gone out on a limb and told you about my strange sitings...now someone else come up with something tomorrow - please?  Hayseed?  Trose?  Some other interesting MT?  :-)
Hey fellow bird watchers...

We added a new bird to our backyard list today - one that we have been waiting to have visit for six years.  I must admit I had given up, as this is known to be a rural bird and we are just inside town.  We have downy woodpeckers out the wazoo all day long, but today, much to my surprise and delight, we had a visit from a hairy woodpecker.  He landed on the suet cage that I have hanging on the offce window so he was only about 4 feet away and I got a really good look at him.  What a thrill!  Now if I can just lure in that elusive pileated...


About your fellow land-dweller
She could easily put up her own mail box right next to yours. As long as she clearly labels it with her name, the postal carrier will separate your mail from hers. That's how theya do it out here in my neck o' the woods anyhows....

(Can you tell I absolutely ADORE being a redneck? LOL!)
Nice to see a fellow athiest aboard!
:)
Fellow workers, you are gonna be proud of me!
I just sent email to a national morning program, has a guy and girl on there. I was watching the other morning, a wife and son on explaining about how her husband suffered extensively with pain, unable to get medications because, you know, some call it drug seeking? Well, come to find out through son being tested, this father had some sort of syndrome (sorry, do not remember the name) and finally died having suffered for years, unable to live a decent life, bedridden. On the panel was the wife, son, a physician and another person The wife started to say something and was cut off immediately but the lady host saying "Well, are you a physician?" The wife said no and the host said "Well, let the doctor speak then." I wrote this host this morning to let her know IF she worked in the field she would know physicians make plenty of mistakes- we clean them up all the time, right? I said people who do not know tend to hold physicians up as gods but if you worked in this field you would certainly know better. I tried to get Megace for hubby 1 time because not eating, lost appetite, starving actually and was told by physician would not help. I switched doctors, got the prescription and hubby regained appetite. Having typed on that for aid in TB patients as well as human immunovirus patients in regaining appetites, I knew better. I feel a whole lot better about myself right now!!
For my fellow Black Friday shoppers, a little tip

Don't wait until the last minute to get the big ticket items.  I know they may seem like a great deal, but usually those items are only $20 to $50 less than they normally would be.  The aggravation of trying to get it isn't going to be worth the money you'd save. 


I generally go for the smaller deals -- like the cool PJs on sale and the board games or DVDs on sale.  These are great sales.  One year, I got 3 Fisher Price/Hasbro games for my 5-year-old for $3 each.  DVDs were only $5 each.  There were 3-piece fleece PJs for $9.  These are best deals in my opinion. 


I've stood in line waiting to get the $49 gameboy that was normally $100 only to get to my turn and find out they're sold out.  Then I spent the next month trying to find one anywhere for my kid for Christmas. 


I go out early on Black Friday for the excitement and some bargains, but never the big ticket stuff.  I have that bought before then and stored away safe and sound.  To me, it's like tailgating -- the thing that gets me into the spirit of the season!


First time I have seen a fellow Kansan on here. whereabouts?

Cat Lover - need your help

We have two cats, one male, one female, both have been fixed.  


 


One of them, I suspect the female, has taken to spraying in the master bathroom.   Is there anything I can do to get her to stop?


 


ICKY


I'm a dog lover too but...
Wouldn't this be funner through IM?
cat lover, too
My last cat had some sort of brain tumor - we think.  Vet wanted me to take him to a specialist and have brain surgery - which I was not equiped to pay for, nor did I think he would survive the surgery.  I didn't think he was in pain and he was eating, with some difficulty because he had some left sided facial weakness.  FYI, vet told me that dying cats purr.  Then one morning he apparently had a stroke (my diagnosis) and it was obvious.  I was lucky enough to find a vet that came to my house and gave him the injection.  He died on my lap and I don't think I will ever get over it.  I had to get 2 to replace him.  It's expensive, but they are important to my quality of life.
For the dog lover's out there...
WHEN I GOT MY DOG....

I asked for strength that I might rear her perfectly;
I was given weakness that I might feed her more treats.

I asked for good health that I might rest easy;
I was given a "special needs" dog that I might know nurturing.

I asked for an obedient dog that I might feel proud;
I was given stubbornness that I might feel humble.

I asked for compliance that I might feel masterful;
I was given a clown that I might laugh.

I asked for a companion that I might not feel lonely;
I was given a best friend that I would feel loved.

I got nothing I asked for,
But everything I need.

CAT LOVER

You bet.  I have had Sheba for 7 years.  She is a huge black spayed female.  I got her when she was about 6 weeks old.  She is very "opinionated" and must have her way.  If I even shake my finger at her, she will come at me.  My daughter's dog accidently came in the house one time, and my cat had a FIT and scared the bejeebies out of that poor Jack Russell, Luke.  My cat is not very affectionate.  She will not sleep with me, and she only sits in my lap for 5 minutes or less. 


Well, I was wanting a small dog.  My daughter talked me into buying one.  He is a Pekapom named Ping Pong.  My cat hisses at him and growls, but I have also seen her playing with him when she did not see me watching.  My dog agivates her all the time, and she puts up with him.


Well, my next door neighbor moved and abandoned his black cat.  He never tood very good care of him, and I would hear him crying during the winter and when it was raining.  I could't hardly stand it.  I would sometimes sneak him in while Sheba was in the other room, but she knew another cat had been there and would go around hissing and growling.  Well, I started letting "Jeepers" into the basement on cold days and nights.  Sometimes he would get into the house without my knowing it.  Sheba does her growling and hissing, but she has never attacked him.  I have to keep Sheba's food on a chair in my office so Ping Pong will not eat it.  Yesterday I saw Jeepers up there eating her food.  (I usually feed him in the hall way where the basement is).  He has also started staying in my house and is sleeping  on a blanket on my couch right now.


I never thought Sheba would tolerate this, and that is why I never got another cat.  So, you see, it can happen.  I would try it.  Cats seem to work things out in their own way.  If they hiss and growl, let them work it out.  It usually takes about a week for cats to get to know each other.  You may be surprised just like I was.


Cat lover #3 here.
I have 3 rescues myself.  Could it only be when they are going #1 and the litter is so absorbant that they don't smell it to cover it?  Or is it just random with jobs 1 and 2?  I don't know, just a thought.  We know how independent and mysterious these precious ones are!!  That's why we love 'em!!
I had a fellow nursing student way back with a Jamaican patois who
s
Darn! I meant to say FORMER not fellow! I moved a few years back sm
but would LOVE to visit. My dad was stationed at Griffis AFB in Rome, outside of Utica..they moved and I stayed and attended college in Syracuse with a few friends. After a few years I finally left the area. Unfortunately, I don't know anyone in that area anymore!!! So sad....I would LOVE to take my family there one day and show them the Adirondacks, etc. I actually have step-grandparents in VT who owned a 100+ acre farm they just sold for a million dollars....Now they have a small log cabin in the mountains but they are in FL most of the year! I actually live just outside of Atlanta now....I remember being snowed in the dorms for 2 days during a bad winter storm. You are right! The snow is like NO ONE ANYWHERE can even imagine..LOL Nice to meet you!
I am very sorry, being an animal lover, but
I really believe the final call on this had nothing to do with money. A horse, unlike cats or dogs, cannot support their weight only on 3 legs and I believe the people who owned this beautiful animal did everything they could to let him live. They knew he would never run again much less be able to live any kind of meaningful life. I heard he was not doing well yesterday and thought this would be the outcome. So sorry, though.
Sock lover too!
Heel-Toe  If you haven't tried chenille super-soft socks you don't know what you are missing! 
I am so, so sorry as I am an animal lover also
and can really feel your pain. I have 3 furkids of my own and my heart just goes out to you and your family at this time. These special animals are just part of our own families and I grieve with you.
Plum lover
Yep, I just finished #12. I know #13 is out there, but probably will wait until it comes out in paperback. I got all mine 1-12 on E-Bay, so as not to pay too much. Also have read some of Evanovich's other books, but they don't hold a candle to the Plum books. She always makes me laugh. Too bad they can't be turned into movies, but then the stories usually are not as good. Happy reading to you!
I am animal lover and get this
Spoke with my daughter last night. She owns her own home and rents out part of it. She tells me her roommate gone a lot- she intends to speak with him about his small dog. She tells me her dogs and this dog are not hitting it off too well but it is freezing here for the past 2 nights and the dog is outside without any shelter. I have written her a note and told her if she gets pis…oh well. I told her she is responsible for things that go on at her home and surely I gave her some compassion in her raising, otherwise I have failed miserably. I asked her how long does it take to bring the dog in, feed and crate it for the night? Surely as a human being you can not allow a poor defenseless animal to suffer because it belongs to your roommate. I am never confrontational- let her run her own business but I really hate this and if it puts a wedge between us then I guess it will have to. I keep my mouth closed but I could not this time. If it were my neighbor and they had small dog left outside, I would probably call the animal abuse people on them and someone there might do the same. I don’t worry so much about that as I do the abuse of a small animal. I asked her to find in her heart the right way to deal with this. I hope she is not as cold-hearted as she was last night.
animal lover
I would LOVE to be able to do that, or something similar. However, I barely make enough to pay for my own puds, much less any homeless ones. If I could, I would take in all the neighborhood strays, have them all neutered and whatever else they needed and give them a good home. Maybe one day I'll be able to do that. Until then, I'm so glad there are people like you !!
Yo, COFFEE LOVER sm
I, too, crave coffee that tastes like it smells. My son was a Starbucks manager and I know a lot about coffee as a result.

Growing regions:
African coffees are more acidic.
Colombian and South American coffees, whether robusta or arabica beans, will be earthy, muddy tasting.
Asian coffees are cleaner tasting, though can be very rich.
Kona and Jamaican coffees are often lower in caffeine and smoother, less acidic.

Roasting:
The darker the roast, the deeper the flavor. Dark roasts are said to have a bit less caffeine. Light roasts will be more acidic.

Ultimate rich cup:
Starbucks Gold Coast. It is Asian and dark roast. Not overly heavy, not muddy, not very acidic.

Sumatra. This is Asian, tends to be muddy in texture, but rich in taste. Usually dark roasted. If made in a French press, it will leave fur on your tongue!

Another good choice:
Verona. A blend of different growing regions. Dark roast. Hint of Italian espresso flavor.

Ways to make it:
I am a purist to the end. Must have freshly ground beans, I do at home. Must have filtered water.

French press:
Makes a chewable cup at times. It is espresso in texture, rich and heavy, oily in the cup. Have to have a rough grind, not a fine grind. You can't make Folger's this way.

Percolator:
Coming back as a popular way to make coffee. An antique or vintage one is better than the new ones. Has the advantage of sterilizing the water and the beans. Stronger than a drip maker, not as strong as a French press.

Drip coffeemaker:
Why? Do you want your coffee to taste like paper? Permanent gold filter is best. Tends to make the weakest coffee of the three processes I mention here.

While I like Bux coffee...there are some awfully good store brands of whole beans that are quite good.

I'll plug a local coffee brand too.
AmericanCowboyCoffee.com It is 100% pure Kona and at about $22 a lb, it is CHEAP for pure Kona. It is packaged in the oldest, continuously incorporated town in Wyoming, a place called Hartville. The store is literally right down the street from me. This is my special, after dinner, later evening, lazy Sunday morning in bed with the paper coffee.

thanks for letting me vent this!

US Soldier Kills 4 Fellow Troops Before Killing Himself At US Base In Iraq

***UPDATE*** The Associated Press reveals more details about the shooter:


The suspect had been disarmed after an earlier incident at the center but returned with another weapon, according to a senior military official in Washington, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation into the shootings was ongoing.

***UPDATE*** The American soldier who shot dead five fellow soldiers at a U.S. base in Baghdad is in custody.


"The shooter is a US soldier and he is in custody," US marine corps lieutenant Tom Garnett, a US military spokesman in Iraq, told reporters.


The New York Times adds some perspective to the tragedy:


The killings appeared to be the worst case of soldier-on-soldier violence among the American forces based in Iraq since the invasion more than six years ago.
The shootings, which took place at a stress clinic, highlight the problem of post-traumatic stress disorder among U.S. soldiers, notes the Guardian:


Stress is one of the biggest killers of US soldiers in Iraq. About a fifth of all US troops are thought to be suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, contributing to high divorce and suicide rates. An estimated one fifth of the 4,292 members of the US force in Iraq have died from non-combat causes, either in accidents or from suicide.
***UPDATE*** According to Fox News, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs Monday relayed President Obama's response to the tragedy. Obama expressed shock and sadness and is promising to fully investigate what exactly transpired at Camp Liberty, so as to prevent such incidents in the future.



***UPDATE*** AP has another update. The shooting was at a 'stress clinic':


Pentagon officials say five Americans are dead after a U.S. soldier opened fire at a U.S. base in Baghdad. They say the attacker is in custody.


The officials say the shootings happened on Camp Liberty at a stress clinic, where troops can go for help with the stresses of combat or stress from personal issues.


One senior military official in Washington says it's unclear whether those killed are workers at the clinic or were there for counseling. He says officials also are unsure whether all the dead are members of the military.



***UPDATE*** ABC News reports that the U.S. soldier who attacked fellow troops on a U.S, base in Iraq has killed five of them and is now in custody. Initial reports suggested that he had turned the gun on himself after his rampage.


***UPDATE*** AP now reports that the U.S. soldier who went on a rampage against his fellow troops in Iraq may have survived the incident:



Pentagon officials say five U.S. soldiers are dead after an American soldier opened fire at a U.S. base in Baghdad.


The officials say the shootings happened Monday at Camp Liberty near Baghdad's airport.


One senior military official in Washington said it was not yet clear whether the shooter was among the dead. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the circumstances surrounding the deaths are under investigation.


Initial reports indicated the Army soldier shot several others, then turned the gun on himself. But it was unclear whether he, too, had died.



***UPDATE*** CNN reports that 3 other U.S. soldiers were wounded during the friendly fire incident that has left 5 U.S. troops dead. An American soldier killed 4 of his fellow troops before killing himself.


According to the Washington Post, it is the single greatest loss of life in a single incident involving U.S. soldiers since a truck bomb last month took the lives of 5 American soldiers.


***UPDATE*** CNN has just sent out a breaking news alert reporting that senior defense officials have told the network that a US soldier killed 4 of his fellow troops before killing himself. Check back for more information.


McClatchy is reporting that a shooting at a U.S. base in Baghdad has left 5 soldiers dead. The shooting occurred at Camp Liberty, a base near the Baghdad airport.



 


One hint - when a dog lover can't visit or
travel places that others think are fun - its because the person doesn't want to do it! Best excuse in the world.... I know...
oh dear! I'm a beagle lover and I know what
you are going through. Poor poor poor puppy. I know they grow up to be dogs, but I can't help it, they're all still puppies to me!!

Keep updating on the board!

Yay! You GO, dog lover and protector! Gotta
s
I'm a dog lover, and most dogs love me. - sm
I can be walking down the street, simply make eye contact with one and smile without saying a word, and the dog will usually rush up to me, wagging his tail like crazy and acting all silly and lovey-dovey.

In the past, some of the absolute sweetest dogs I'd ever known were pits & rotties. But that was in the ྌs, before the big 'gangsta-dog' thing became popular. Then people started breeding these dogs more for a surly attitude than for good temperament, and it seems to be a dominant trait that's getting passed forward, even when unintended.

So fast-forard to 2 weeks ago. I was out walking in my neighborhood, and was coming up a long flight of sidewalk stairs that go up the steep hill I live on. Halfway up, I saw a big brown pit bull standing there looking at me. I had seen him running loose on my street earlier in the day, and wondered whose he was, but then forgot about him.

He had an aggressive body-language that I didn't like. But I'm not afraid of dogs, and continuned on up the steps, and talked to him nicely as I reached the top. But then the dog totally went off, and began barking, growling, and making charges at me.

I knew to stand my ground, and first tried sweet-talking him. Didn't work. If I tried to slowly move away from him in any direction, he'd come around and try to come in at me from behind. There wasn't a soul around.

I tried scaring him off, but that only exacerbated the problem, so I decided to just stand there and let him do his thing. 20 minutes later, he was just as aggressive as ever, maybe worse, because his charges were coming closer and closer. The only 'weapon' in my possession was a single can of cat food in a plastic bag, that I'd walked down the hill to the market to buy. Considered whacking him with it, but didn't want to be in that close to him.

Turns out the owners were in an apartment right across the street. A couple finally came out and called off the dog, stating "Oh, we didn't know he was out." (I doubt that - the dog had been out all afternoon.)

Anyway, I told them I'd call the sheriff and/or animal control if I ever saw him out again. When I got home, I called animal control anyway, and filed a formal complaint, so that if he bit anyone in the future, there would already be a complaint against him, and he likely would not be released from the shelter. Animal control said they'd follow up with the owner, which hopefully they did.

In the meantime, I did 2 things: I programmed the sheriff's phone numberinto my cellphone, which I now slip into my pocket whenever I go out for a walk. Good thing to do, anyway. The other thing is I went to Army-Navy Surplus, and bought a cannister of professional-grade pepper spray. Not the wimpy, .02% 'dog-repellent'. I doubt that would stop a pitbull. I got the 15% stuff that will bring a 200-pound, raging crack-addict to his knees and keep him there for more than an hour. That goes into my pocket, as well. Now I can walk & bike with peace of mind.

Meanwhile, those pitbull owners should consider themselves very lucky that their dog went after someone who knows dogs, is not afraid, and didn't RUN. If a timid woman, or worse, a child, had come up those steps that afternoon, the resulting attack might have made the 6 o'clock news that night.

There are probably still some gentle pits left out there, but I think their numbers are declining because of the current fashion statement of being a 'big bad gangsta, with my big, bad gansta-dog'. They want their dogs to intimidate people, and then they wonder why they can't rent an apartment or get homeowners insurance to cover dog bites. In some cities you have to post a $30,000 bond in order to keep one. It's little wonder that unwanted pits and pit-mixes are clogging up our animal shelters. I feel sorry for the animals, but if I were adopting, I wouldn't want the financial liability of owning one.
If you google John and his lover,
you probably are going to pick up a man's name (as in the nanny you speak of). I knew the police were already involved. I am sorry for John and his wife as far as the loss of their child but there are very odd things going on here.
Stray animals and an animal lover

On Sunday, I was working when white fur flew by my window.  On further inspection, I see neighbors in front yard observed ~five~ dogs running around the street, from house to house.  I got them into my garage ASAP so none would be hit by a car.  Placed ad in paper fully expected a response by an owner who had left the gate open - but, nothing.


Right now, they are in my backyard.  Three males, two females, all under 10 lbs.  None neutered.  Two of the males are attacking a third, older male.  Separating them has led to one howling in distress in my garage. 


In the meantime, my 2 dogs and 2 cats are in distress from this.  I feel so bad as I am now looking at the call to the SPCA and it is hearbreaking, absolutely heartbreaking.  In fact, I am near tears. 


I had a vision of us all living reasonably well together until I could find homes with them but I am faced with the realization that it is too much for me and I feel like a failure.  There is an animal rescue group but even they are overwhelmed with stray animals.  In fact, one that I have is a stray that I was fostering and kept as she fit right in.


Not being an animal lover does not make one a bad person...

Huge animal lover here but I agree
I once had the most beautiful cat named "dumb cat" cause that was exactly what he was, but he knew he was loved and well cared for.

BTW, I live right out of the city limits but if I did live in the city limits I would not be allowed to shoot a gun.
How far would you go (or would you) to find out if your husband/lover was cheating?
I am married now and never even think of his cheating or even worry about it, just do not have a feeling like that but in the past married to a real dog. I then checked his pockets, his shirt collars (for lipstick, makeup), phone calls and on and on. How far would you go and what have you found?
because you're an animal lover....you will stay on this; so 2 pets don't get

If you want to do something, go to this website:
http://www.americanidol.com/

Yes, it's American Idol, but it's called American Idol Gives Back. If you want to save 4 children from dying from Malaria, donate $10. Yup, $10 buys enough drugs for 4 kids with Malaria. Bono of U2 is involved, among many others. None of the singers were kicked off tonight, so anybody crying over American Idol tonight is crying over images of dying babies. For real.
The website

Alright here it is =) It's a little hard to understand right at first but don't give up!! =)

I believe it's under Walgreens 101


Go to the IRS website
www.irs.gov, click on rebate info, then click on where's my stimulus payment. It will tell you exactly when you will get it and how much. All you need is your SS#, filing status and number of people claimed on your taxes.
According to the FTC website...
you don't have to pay for anything you receive that you did not request.
Website

I'll let you know when it's done.  This CPSIA issue has been holding me back some.


 


is there a website for this; what is it?
nm
you did NOT offend hon!! That website....sm

You did nothing wrong - it's that website is what seems offensive - not the fact you supplied the link to Jewish entertainers/performers.  It *looks* innocent enough until one goes and checks out not only the website itself but the ISP/DNS ownership/registration/sponsorship.  And then to list the ADL (antidefamation league) under HATE GROUPS was the absolute straw -


I wrote them a letter all about my opinion of that site too!!! 


Have a GREAT evening!!! 


Sure, it came from the AFA.net website. AFA stepped up

to the plate and called several companies (nicely) on the carpet.  Some companies obliged and some didn't.  Over 700,000 people had signed a boycott of Target stores and within a week, Target changed their stance and the boycott ceased.  These companies need to realize that surveys have proven that about 96% of the American population celebrate CHRISTMAS.


Do you believe there is even a website for this? inside...
