Thankee :D

As someone who works in the veterinary field, I have yet to meet a vet that would agree to put in neuticles. They are preposterous. Then again, I live on the East coast. Maybe it's more of a Hollywood thing?
And also, there is only one vet within a hour+ drive radius that will do ear crops; it is quite rare, and will be pretty much impossible to find anyone to perform it in the next decade as the "old school" vets retire.
I have to nitpick about talking about pain management in pets though: yes, any surgical procedure causes pain. However,in cases where people are getting pricey elective surgeries, they are also usually paying for comprehensive pain medications. (Often I think we can be better about pain management than human doctors) There are always exceptions, but I think as a group most vets insist on quality pain management.
As far as crazy clients that hand-feed their pup hot dogs or a Happy Meal, we will see them a few days later when their poor pet has developed fat-induced pancreatitis.

On the flip side, these people will usually bend over backwards to keep their pets healthy and happy, and I can jive with that just fine, as long as they don't ask me to go on the crazy-train with them :)

Adam: This could be trouble.
Riley: We better make a fort.
Adam: I'll get some pillows.

I loved making pillow forts. My parents had that wooden "this end up" crate-style furniture with giant foam cushions that made great walls, and had an open-weave knitted blanket which was like that military camouflage netting. Except orange and brown...

"and the lesson learned (harness, not choke collar)."

Actually the lesson learned should be "don't leave your dog (tied up?) outside unattended." Even with a harness, the dog could still potentially have serious bodily harm.

You can't prevent every type of injury, but common sense will avert most of them.

Lol.
I should print this out and put it on the fridge.

Unfortunately at my work there is no such thing as a 5-second rule: it's a veterinary hospital!
You have no idea how many things I really wanted to eat were dropped on that floor. I even cried once, because it was a fancy candy bar I'd been saving all day and when I opened the wrapper it popped out onto the floor. *sniffle* A little tapeworm wouldn't hurt me, right?!

I don't condone what this woman did.
But seriously. I won't buy anything off eBay sight unseen, and that's for like a purse or a pair of shoes. A KID?!
You better believe I would NEVER adopt a kid without getting to know it first! That is one of the "privileges" of adopting versus just having one of your own...

Oh sure, polydactyly is cute in cats but not in humans?

I think it is amazing.... makes you realize the power of genetics, the potential in cell engineering... all kinds of stuff.

Made of Win. I am totally happy for the rest of the day!

ah 78%. I must admit that these pre-cursors to trashy romance novels helped me waste numerous hours during summer vacations!

It's called operant conditioning. We are taught to press buttons to gt the desired effect. Later on, we don't know if the button works, but we still push it anyway.

Woot to my SCAD alumni friend!

Blythe dolls are creepy enough on their own! (I always liked Pullips better, they are more aesthetically pleasing big-headed dolls)

Glad I am not the only one who doesn't trust Hawas. Something about him just comes off like a used-car-salesman to me.

I am an avid lover of Ancient Egypt, and have been since I was a kid. I am always pleased and tickled when old theories are rejected or supported by new evidence and research. It gives me hope, knowing that just because we have studied things for a long time, we are far from knowing or understanding the full truth.
These people accomplished amazing feats, not just for their time, but even for our own time!

is it a neat idea?
yes.

Do I want my tax dollars to pay for it?
not particularly.

I live in Baltimore, and I think I'd rather see my dollars go to fixing the bloody roads downtown than fiddling with the traffic lights...

This is just awesome. I think I must buy it!!!
