oka does not have osteosarcoma which i was starting to worry about...our 12 yr old happy rotti just has some arthritis in his elbow...oh yay oka!!!! he had a blast today...two car rides with me playing ball with him in the van while i was driving (how safe is that????) and an afternoon stay at the clinic for bloodwork and xrays with more ball playing and ALOT of cookies....the staff said he had a good time...oka said he thought they were pretty fun too...what a dog!

tawnie's bloodwork is back, mild kidney disease, inflammation and non regenerative anemia...the first two are no big deal and the anemia i will worry about if in the next few weeks her Hgb truly doesn't improve with a million less fleas....yay tawnie!

tigger woods was feeling crappy but since we started him on abx, he is feeling WAY better and maude is still a bit weird but not as weird as she was so she must be feeling better now too.

as to all the nasty human selfish crap that periodically crops up in some form or another, year after year after year....., i have been thinking about this and i have decided...humans create their own problems, they make their own choices and decisions, they behave and act however they choose. a few then blame someone else for their now messed up life, blamers are trouble for someone like me... i am not letting those kind of folks in here anymore, it becomes too much of a pain in the ass.

i am going to design a tricky blaming questionaire and hand it out as soon as someone comes here to "help" me or the animals....cuz some "help" is too painful...actually saying this is not nice maybe but it is pretty damn true.

You need someone to design the tricky questionnaire.

--Then you can blame them if it doesn't correctly weed out the blamers.
