Again, how brave, how persistent are the rescuers!

Can’t say I remember my dogs being idiots.

I remember walking Tiffany to the vet, opening the door to the surgery—and Tiffany turning around to go back home 

Just because you are tiny (Tiffy weighed just 2.5kg) does not mean you can’t be feisty. One year the vet, not asking me to hold Tiffany, not injecting into a loose bit of skin between her shoulders just stuck the needle into her side. He got a handful of sharp teeth.

The next year the vet we saw was a young guy built like a refrigerator, looked like a rugby player. While I jeered openly this guy wrapped yards of cloth around Tiffy’s head as a muzzle. While Tiffy could break skin if she really bit that was about it.

No further attempts to muzzle Tiffany occurred.

Demi had some epic battles at the vet. The thing is: the vaccination for heartworm stings as it is injected.

As I stated before, one time they muzzled Demi—her bite could break skin and then some! Wasn’t enough so treats were provided and Demi ate these through the muzzle not giving a hoot as to what the vet was doing.

The next year, the last injection, the vet wrapped Demi so she couldn’t offer a defence.

As to a diet for cats—who gives a toss?

Two legged critters behind the wheel or why is my car insurance so high?

Plenty stupidity

Plenty entitlement

FFS, slow down in heavy rains/wet roads etc etc. Don’t run red lights, don’t drive on the wrong side of the road. Huge trucks/semis have huge blind spots, give them plenty of space.

More dogs being idiots

Sweet—but better have someone very near supervising.

I think Socks—19 weeks old on arrival in the pound so possibly had two homes, two owners before me—had her tail pulled unmercifully by a toddler. Possibly the toddler’s parents watching proudly.

There was an incident involving Socks and a toddler here. I think her secure home here, the boundaries I enforce and especially the walking and running I let her do, the lure coursing runs, the running in the dog park the long walks 2-3 times a week etc has washed all that out of her mind.

I am still VERY careful when toddlers are around but think Socks is fine now. She does have a very sweet nature generally.

Was a family around the corner had a couple toddlers. I explained to the mother what happened earlier and said I would be on my guard and careful if her kiddies and Socks were near each other, urged her to keep an eye on her kiddies if Socks and I approached.

OK, this isn’t a short but who cares?
