Hemingway, Daisy Mae & Patches, Princess, Max & Pickle (+1), there was Shellie Marie, now the looker, no-name turtles & Susie and Jett & Sam, and our grand dogs: MJ, Hendrix & Layla

Sometimes I feel like Dr. Dolittle, talking to the animals, one has a blog and three make entries on BRBoomers blog. LOL

Speak nasty of pets now-a-days and you will be lynched. I have been thinking lately, the life of a VET isn’t a bad idea. Your patients cannot tell anyone if you are right or wrong. I have noticed from listening to folks, that vets that are calm, understanding, considerate, nice and are good doctors.

 

(This is a Corgi, Koda looks better and has a Blog, lives on the west coast)

Did you hear about the Vet who went to a Medical doctor with an ailment. After being poked , and tested the MD said we need a couple more tests. With that the young Vet said, “I don’t have this luxury, why can’t you do as I do. I have to feel a little, look the pet over get their temp and make my decision. I prescribe what ever I think is needed.”

MD, “Okay that seems fair enough.” (Pausing and thinking, then continues,  “I think you should take Ibuprophen  for a couple days, if that don’t work, we will have to put you to sleep.”   (pause)

Well I thought it was funny.

Sorta like their food. We want it to taste to suit us. Now be honest. Cats like mice and baby birds, does the food you serve the cat taste like a mouse or a bird?  No, of course not. Dogs now, will eat anything from poop to nuts. And I have never understood a dogs desire to roll in another dogs poop!.

(The only pictures of one of the boys dogs, mostly Beagle like Spunky, who is all Beagle, That is Mark with him.)

I know my Ace ate all my Quail once when I was trying to raise them. Now honestly my pets ate off the table or more factual, table scraps. When none was available I had canned dog food called Dash dog food. I wondered what Ace was eating, so I tasted it, it wasn’t bad, but I would not like a steady diet of it, it needed salt for one thing.

(I only had one cat in my life, Tom up until I was 4 or 5)

That reminds me of a great story Bill Irwin (the famous Blind Hiker) told me. His dog was named Orient. Once on the trail he learned he had been eating Orient’s snack cookies. He said they weren’t half bad.

Bingo, the first dog I knew, lived to be 20+ and always ate in the yard or on table scraps. There was never any dog food for Bingo. She was a smaller mixed breed dog. Daddy always said she was mostly Feist, what ever that is.

She is the only dog caught on film that we  had. Pets have it made now days. Their own stores, their own doctors and some have insurance. Koda even has a blog. I even answer Miss Kitty, Mia and Max.

About every blogger (cept me) has a pet. Mark has MJ, an English Bull. She is fat as a hog. She eats everything including dry dog food.

Reececup has these (two more grand dogs):
