    Regular Vet Vs Banfield

    in Health and Medical discussion

    Posted

    I have used a Banfield back when I was in Corpus. I loved the vets (husband and wife) and the techs. I can say I went to a few vets in Corpus and found tBanfield to be the most helpful and caring. Here in San Antonio I use a regular vet practice and not Banfield. I have not found a Banfield here that I like or have the same caring/helpful with. It depends on the vets and techs at each place to me more than the name.

    Dogs On The Couch

    in Training and Behavior discussion

    Two of our get on the couch. They know as soon as we say off, that means move. Our other two dont even really try or are not interested. Bilbo is the only one allowed on the bed, but he doesn't even get on it anymore. I have to ask him to get on wiht me.

    Bear (12/3/99 - 12/22/08)

    in Remembrance

    Posted

    Bear passed away on Monday morning. He had been battling an unknown illness for about a month. Many tests and things later still no certain diagnoses. He is now running happy and free.

     

    Bear was very much my husband’s dog. When my DH was away one summer before we were married Bear spent the summer making me miserable. He would have the occasional accident, then he would have them everyday. I took him to the vet praying for a UTI, he came back clean. The vet said it was behavioral. Once my DH came back the accidents stopped. He also started out crate free in life. He was great until he found the food pantry. We lived in an apartment and took the door off of the pantry to have more room. Well coming home to canned goods all over the floor is great. When he figured how to take the labels off it was even more fun, guess what we are opening now. He got into everything a muzzle didn’t even help. We got him a crate and he was fine from that moment on, he just needed one to keep him from getting in trouble. Bear was one in a million. We’ll miss the big goof ball.

     

    RIP Bear (CS What A Bear) your life with us was way to short but you will be with us forever.

    Prissy

    Prissy past away this morning. It was un-expected to some of us, but my grandma knew it was almost her time. Prissy was 14 years old and very much like her name. She was a Pomeranian and always had lots of hair. I remember the first time I saw her with one of her hair cuts, if anyone laughed she gave a very graceful eat poop look. Prissy will be missed by my grandma and great-grandmother the most they were a team.

    Sasha

    in Remembrance

    Posted

    When we lived in Corpus one of the first dogs we met was Sasha. We became great friends with Sasha's "housekeeper and kibble provider" Ken was one of Phillips groomsmen at the wedding. Sasha was a very hussy Husky, and very much an Alpha Bitch. She was in love with Bilbo always giving him kisses, but well she did have a few boyfriends. She did not care for Bear that much so we couldn't bring the boys over to Kens place after we got Bear. Sasha did have spay incontinence, Ken tried a few things to help but they affected other things, so she lived without meds, and Ken never really seemed to mind her spots she left. When ever we would talk I would always ask how Sasha and her partner in crime Sullivan were doing. I got the news a few months ago that Sasha was not doing well but they were doing tests to see what was going on. We got the news yesterday that Sasha would be going to the bridge due to kidney failure. Sasha I believe would have been either 9 or 10 this September (I dont remember which). I will miss the loud girl when we visit.

     

    RIP Sasha, go run free with your first love Chavok.

    I am in shock over this. She was the first person I did Secret Santa with, I still remember picking things out hoping that they would be okay. My prayers are with her family during this hard time.

    Robbie

    I never got the chance to meet Robbie in person. I got to watch him run at the track and that was the closest I ever came to him. He is Bilbo's litter mate. I heard that he had passed on the other week, after running, and I am just now getting to write this.

    I know that you didn't have a family of your own, but you were loved. I know that in your brief time as a pet the King family loved you like you were one of their own. I had a wish the weekend that we went up to San Antonio, and that was to meet you. I never got that chance. I waited for you to come up for adoption, but by the time that you did we had Bear. It was for the best as it turned out you were not cat friendly, and we had Tippy. I just want you to know that I cared about you and thought of you often. I hope that you are running free at the bridge now, having the time of your life playing with everyone up there. I will see you one day.

    I am getting the following:  it says "warning" as GT comes up, then at the top of the page

     

    IPB WARNING [2] fsockopen(): unable to connect to localhost:10010 (Line: 331 of /skin_cache/cacheid_2/skin_boards.php)

    I am also getting that across the top of the page. It has been there for a day or two. I read through this to see if I was the only one, I am happy that I am not.

     

    I know what you mean about reading the April threads, at first I didnt notice anything wrong. Then it wouldnt let me sign in, and then I noticed all the April threads, some of them were interesting.
