COLD DARK ROOM

[ZEROPILOT]

You might want to make sure the vet knows this happened. I say that because I did not want to get rabies vaccines for my cats since they are never allowed outside, either. My vet explained that rabies vaccines are required by law and THE VET IS HELD LIABLE for failing to comply. I don't know how anyone would find out, though. She is a great person, though, and did NOT give my cat the rabies vaccine.

If your vet puts this reaction in Suki's medical records, it WOULD be a valid medical reason to not give the vaccine. Then you would be covered, the vet would be covered and any other vet helping out would see and accept it as a valid medical reason to NOT vaccinate.

A friend of mine took her half-grown dog to the vet for the usual exams, and when they gave him the rabies shot he collapsed right there in the office. The vet and techs immediately did everything they could, including CPR, but the dog was gone. The dog's brother (litter mate) had already gotten his shots and was fine. Go figure.
Duke is very LUCKY that you're her dad!!!!!!!

The vet has been notified and it's been noted on her chart that she is vaccine reactive. They said she will be pre-treated in the future for the sensitivity.
Florida DOES require a rabies vaccine. However, the fee for not having it is $300.
Next year she needs two more vaccines. She may or may not be getting them.

Hello Squirt,

it`s like you have children. A mother always say that they are still so small and young, but in the short moment of an eylid they grow..

I know, it's like your blinded because you always see them everyday so you don't notice the change :'(

Gosh, even pre-treating would make me nervous. Good LUCK to you and Suki, both!

Do you think so? I've been taking pictures of him everyday to track his growth and all I'm noticing is the shell is becoming more domed

I think so. Other people's kids grow fast.

Help! The tape is coming off one of my packages!
I didn't do it. (At least not consciously.) It must be my evil cat! Or one of Bea's baby meerkats possibly sneaked in.

Good morning roomies

I have my Christmas jumper on and will be heading for the station in about an hour. The weather forecast is diabolical so I am not sure I'll get any photos of the beautiful city of Salisbury

Good afternoon, Linda.
We often used to visit Salisbury when the family went to visit my aunt who lived in Guildford.
On the route there, or back we frequently stopped off in the beautiful city and visited the cathedral.
And crossed Salisbury plain, visited the wonderful Stonehenge and watched the tanks and military vehicles.
The best bit for me was seeing how many nationalities were represented in the car park near Stonehenge!

I don't know. I hope not!

And now for my story.
One summer, I was hitching back from London across Salisbury Plain when a rusty old, rackety Bedford van pulled up with about four greasy looking individuals crammed into the front. "Hop in the back", I was told, so i did.
I made it a rule never to refuse a lift, as though I was attacked a couple of times, it was invariably by someone smartly dressed in a nice car. You never can tell.
Opening the doors at the back, I was enveloped in a cloud of aromatic smoke. Peering through the dispersing fumes within were several figures, huddled together. I got in.
It turned out to be a Chapter of Hell's Angel's who'd been trying to get to "The Henge" for the Summer Solstice and had their bikes impounded by the police for excessive naughtiness. (the Angels were naughty, not the bikes).
I spent three days with them, unwashed and drunken and high as they were. They were great fun and extremely generous and kind.
We never did get to the Stones.(Henge, not Rolling).
When it was time for me to move on, they refused to let me hitch as it was too dangerous, drove me to Salisbury and paid for my coach ticket back to Bristol!
Lovely bunch.

Hi Roommates

Good morning, Noel.
We're still tree decorating here, but the end is in sight.
Just finished a lesson on "Unreliable Narration".

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Good afternoon, Bee.

Goodness!

Good morning.
Suki had a reaction to one or both of the vaccines she was given yesterday and last night she was shaking, vomiting and was very lethargic and wouldn't eat of drink anything.
The vet was closed and the animal hospital is far away, so I went on the internet and found that a lot of others experiencing this used a human antihistamine for their pet.
I cut off about 1/4 of a Sudafed and crushed it and put it in some yogurt and then forced it into her mouth.
I could see improvement within two hours and this morning, she was about normal.

Good morning, Ed.
Poor Suki.
I always feel terrible when this sort of thing happens.
It's like when I had to file Tidgy's beak, I imagine that she feels she's done something wrong and is being punished but can't understand why.
She looks at me with big wide eyes as if to say :
"What have I done, daddy? Please don't be horrible to me."

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

This will be her first and LAST rabies shot.
How will she ever contract rabies anyway? From the dish washer?
She's never out of the house.

Don't have a dishwasher now, as ours did contract rabies.
It had an allergic reaction to water (hydrophobia) and there was foam everywhere.
I think it tried to bite me, too, if I recall.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

afternoon adam. sorry to hear. any bacon left?

Another lesson in 10 minutes.
But adrenaline kicked in for the last one and i was fine, really enjoyed it.
We have about 2 rashers left.
If we can't get proper bacon, we'll have to use a sort of ham we get from the French supermarket in the New Town.
It's not the same, but is a pretty good substitute.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

anyone clued up on law sourinding building factors?

In Morocco, yes.
In Scotland, no.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Good afternoon, Adam! Hope your lessons are over quickly. If it does go badly, make them watch a cartoon (that's what I do)

Last lesson I did with the student who's due in 5 minutes, we watched Doctor Who!
Splendid!
