These wonderful words made me thinking of my mitzi, prince and duchess who are all at the bridge.

This makes me realise how much i love my vet. i have taken hedgehogs, rabbits, moles, collared doves etc etc etc. my vet ALWAYS treats them and knowing i am happy to pay, they only ever charge the cost fee. This way all parties are happy, i get it cheap and they just cover cost of medicine, but most of all the animal receives the treatment/euthanasia that is required. can't comment on the dog wardens or RSPCA though as no experience with them. Good luck to this poochie in getting what it needs and someone to love him/her.

I'm a student nurse and for a sub cut injection you dont need to draw back to check for blood as you are only aiming for the base of the skin. for an intra muscular injection you are more likely to hit veins and/or nerves so you need to draw back to make sure no blood is visible before depressing plunger. as it's in the scruff it's a sub cut, so grab a handful, aim and be confident push needle straight in and depress plunger and withdraw needle. luckily i only do people so to you and your dog.

Be carefull what you wish for all you who want to blow raspberries on percy peckers belly!! Why's that i hear you ask??? Cos i tried it, and its got a hairy baby willy that is frequently wet- and no it isn't rain that wet it!!!

Sorry to hear about the trouble you are having. I highly recommend tesco pet insurance, i have had 2 claims with them and they pay up pretty quick and even gave me a courtesy call to let me know when they had posted the cheque to my vets, reasonable priced standard policy and extra policy. I know it may be more complicated now due to current problems but it's well worth a call to find out.

My american bulldog pup has just nearly trashed the computer trying to find the staffies she could hear!!! Great vids of really happy dogs! This is what every staffy type dog sounds like when he is in the throws of living life to the full. my english x staff will find a giant tree root and would chew away at it (making the same noises) until it fell over, however, due to tree conservation etc etc etc we always move him along- but woe betide any traffic cones that crosses his path!

A new priest at his first mass was so nervous he could hardly speak. After mass he asked the monsignor how he had done. The monsignor replied "When i am worried about getting nervous on the pulpit, i put a glass of vodka next to the water glass. If i start to get nervous, i take a sip." So the next sunday he took the monsignors advice. at the begining of the sermon, he got nervous and took a drink. He proceded to talk up a storm. Upon his return to his office after mass he found the following note on his door 1. Sip the vodka don't gulp. 2. There are 10 commandments, not 12. 3. There are 12 diciples, not 10 4. Jesus was consecrated, not constipated. 5. Jacob wagered his donkey, he did not bet his ass. 6. We do not refer to Jesus Christ as 'the late JC'. 7. The Father,Son and Holy Ghost are not refered to as Daddy, Junior and The Spook. 8. David slew Goliath, he did not kick the sh*t out of him. 9. When David was hit by a rock and was knocked off his donkey, don't say he was stoned off his ass. 10. We do not refer to the cross as 'the big T'. 11. When Jesus broke the bread at the last supper he said, "Take this and eat it, for it is my body". He did not say 'Eat Me'. 12. The Virgin Mary is not called 'Mary with the cherry'. 13. The recommended grace before a meal is not: 'Rub a dub dub thanks for the grub, yeah god'. 14. Next sunday there will be a 'taffy pulling contest at St Peter's-not a peter pulling contest at St Taffy's!
