1 Good Saturday afternoon, pet horde!

I love pet musicians.

Gonna mostly lurk, because I have a poker tournament starting in a couple of minutes. If I bust out early, I'll be back.

20 Bah, that was fast. I'm back. Aces cracked, but you'll have that.

So, back to pets: we started homemade dog food this week. Tank appears to be allergic to pretty much all the meats, but I'll be damned if I'm going to feed him vegetarian. The vet said commercial dog foods, even limited ingredient, may be cross-contaminated. She suggested we make it ourselves using balanceit.com if we have the time and the money, and we kinda do, so, we're on it.

Sarge isn't allergic, but he is picky and turns his nose up at kibble most of the time. He hasn't refused a single homemade meal. Tank is still itchy and rashy, though. Hope it clears up shortly.

23 Hi all. I want to thank everyone for the sympathies over losing my sweet kitty Dorkie Dork. She was such an incredible cat. The night before she died, down to about 3#, couldn't walk, my gf had cleaned her up and put a little puppy diaper on her, then put DD into her plush bed which my gf then put on her stomach (gf was lying on her back, propped up on a big pillow). All of a sudden, DD looks up and starts to claw her way towards gf's right upper arm, which was DD's favorite place in the world. Keep in mind that DD doesn't have a back, right leg, hadn't really eaten anything in days, and had only a day or so left, but nothing was going to keep her from mama's arm. Mama, of course, picked her up and put her right where she wanted to be. They loved each other so much.

People who intentionally hurt animals deserve retribution.

28 I've had a container with the ashes of my late great tomcat Cosmo sitting around on bookshelves for years now, waiting for a final resting place.

Well I finally planted him in my mom's flower garden under a bunch of catnip, next to a little garden temple. Fitting, since he demanded worship from all he met.

Rest in peace, you fat fuzzy bastard. I still miss you.

33 Thanks to everyone who expressed concern over our newly one-eyed dog. His lens blew out in one eye and produced an inflammatory response.

He got the stitches out Thursday. He has trouble maneuvering indoors sometimes, especially after coming in from bright sunlight (has a cataract in his remaining eye) but he is doing OK otherwise.

Making friends with the cats, but played chase with one of them a little earlier in the week. He's adjusting.

38 My new puppy has tripled in size since I got her 45 days ago. She is now 89 days old and no longer pouncing on dandelions.

Her latest trick is to try to jump to the top of a thigh high weed and bit the top off of it.

It is a bit like trying to walk a bowling ball the self identifies as a kite.

41 neverenoughcaffeine, not duck, and not fish. Not sure about venison--the test didn't screen for that.

It was a saliva dna test, so not entirely reliable anyway, but at least it gives us an idea.

I don't know where to get venison, and lamb is ok, but expensive.

45 Afternoon, all,

I like the Corgi sitting up in bed as he "works." Sort of a mascot for the AoSHQ Pet Thread.

Some of you may remember that my older cat, Chekov D. Siberian, has been having, uh, "digestive" issues for some time. After running innumerable tests, his vet believes it's a food allergy of some kind. I've tried him on Iams, Science Diet, and even Instinct "raw" rabbit dry food. Nothing seemed to work. He'd have a problem on the bathroom floor or occasionally carpet every 2-3 days.

Finally I gave in and bought the expensive ($56 for 7.7 lbs.) hydrolyzed protein food the vet suggested when the other things failed. Mirabile dictu: It seems to be working! He eats the stuff readily, seems energetic -- and he has not had a bathroom accident in a week!

The big black cat, his adopted younger brother, eats it too, and I have to figure out a way to feed him good but less pricey stuff while Chekov continues on the cordon bleu. But it appears he is in remission.

(Of course, now that I've written that, the big white-and-black devil will crap on my dining table just to spite me. You know how cats are.)

48 My little Moose has been out of sorts since yesterday. Daughter took him to vet because he was shaking his had alot. He said the ears weren't bad probably allergies so he gave him a shot and cleaned out what little dirt there was. He was just weird all night before I went to bed, refusing to do downstairs. So I left him laying in the chair. This morning about 11:00 I hear this howling! I knew he was down there with her and I heard her trying to comfort him. Bad dream maybe?

In the last couple of days Teddy, my five year old Airedale, got to run with other dogs in a local park, which he's badly needed since our cowardly one term RINO governor put dog parks on lockdown. It's such a pleasure watching dogs running for the sheer joy of it.

Yes, but mshum has banhammered others who began to suggest such.

Went to that great essential mom n pop pet-vet warehouse this morning for supplies. Dint hardly even glance down the aisle where the lorikeet food was kept, the brand that went out of business, that my guy used to eat 12 years ago. His rival does his best to keep me agitated, and god willing will another 22 years. Not his first home, but the longest.

Cheat Grass seed can get down into a dog's ear and really cause them problems. Usually starts out with a lot of head-shaking, then howling, lethargy, loss of appetite.

Maybe have the vet check his ears again?

91 Even greater pleasure when you see them go over the horizon. Not that I don't like them, but after three kids and them NEEDING every animal they could think of, the only animal coming into my house will be the errant house fly, and its life will soon be over. I'm not a total dick though, the quoted statement is true.

"When does life begin? When the kids move out and the dog dies!"

Have heard parrots especially like routine.
Bitey bird must, each morning get:
3 unsalted pistachio nuts in shell.
Half his cup of volkmers hookbill.
Assorted dried red chili peppers.
6-8 zupreme pellets.
Dried banana chips.
A fresh chili pepper, jalapeno, fresno red or anaheim red. Bell peppers will do in a pinch.

Cozy skritches on pin feathers at sundown.

127 My cat will play the piano, only at night, maybe 3am.
First a high note, then a low, then a cluster, then he gets up on the keys and walks from high to low, low to high.
Then I get up, close the lid.
Happens about once a week.
Great pets, thanks for the thread, as usual.

141 New Vid at AJC shows man shot in GA to be jogging down the street at a very , very slow pace

in fact, most people would call it walking

then man enters a home that is under construction

man in empty site for about 5 minutes

neighbor comes out, calls 911

man runs out of house in a hurry

then all hell breaks loose

Of course, AJC speeds up vid to make it appear man jogging and shorten his time on construction site

please send this matter to a grand jury and let them decide

if they are guilty, put them away

but don't placate the black community with the accused freedom

146 Hi all. I want to thank everyone for the sympathies over losing my sweet kitty Dorkie Dork. She was such an incredible cat. The night before she died, down to about 3#, couldn't walk, my gf had cleaned her up and put a little puppy diaper on her, then put DD into her plush bed which my gf then put on her stomach (gf was lying on her back, propped up on a big pillow). All of a sudden, DD looks up and starts to claw her way towards gf's right upper arm, which was DD's favorite place in the world. Keep in mind that DD doesn't have a back, right leg, hadn't really eaten anything in days, and had only a day or so left, but nothing was going to keep her from mama's arm. Mama, of course, picked her up and put her right where she wanted to be. They loved each other so much.

People who intentionally hurt animals deserve retribution.

I had a lovely Persian girl that was dying and home after a transfusion to fight the symptoms and could hardly get around. Yet hours before she had to be put down she managed to jump to a shelftop by the window then up to a shelftop almost at the ceiling, where she "hid" when she first came to me after adoption while she adjusted.
