You’re going to miss our next cold front-it may freeze again here next week...

Since Dr. Carson and others
Are spreading some information
Of being a prisoner with a vote
Liberals need a new plantation

Now, fresh out of ethnic victims
They had to find another group-
So they found a strange exogamy
For the emperor’s circus hoop-

But don’t call them “homosexual”
Now, everyone says they’re “gay”-
But even that polite euphemism
Won’t change reality in any way...

Surely we didn’t expect otherwise?

Gays just won’t marry out of their tribe. (cue Seinfeld voice) Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Loved the poem. Hate leaving the Lone Star State. We’re through security. Wife got some extra attention, including a hand swab. She passed their test.

Thank you-glad you enjoyed the visit. What did security think MsTruthie was doing?

Probably checking for explosive residue. They put the swab into a machine and it took 5 seconds to clear her.

I bought Husky girl a bottle of the Cosamine they advertise on Animal Planet, from the online pet supply-it seems like a good idea to keep her limber-after all, I like the human equivalent.

The label said chewable tablets that dogs are supposed to like. Well, not this dog-after she spat the thing into her dish twice, she only ate it when I wrapped it up in a bit of leftover grilled chicken. You’d think that someone could come up with a flavor dogs really like for that price.

My opinion of AP security is not reinforced- I can’t imagine that MsTruthie in any way resembles a bomb thrower.

LOL My dog could separate the pill from melted cheese in less than 10 seconds and strut away leaving the pill spit out on the floor. She would act haughty about it. RME I buy pill pockets now, she can’t eat them fast enough.

I supposed I have to ask what a “pill pocket” is now.

Ten seconds = one smart dog-Husky girl likes cheese almost as much as chicken, so I’ll have to keep that in mind. After the first time she spat the pill, Yeti boy made a great show of trying to cover the dog’s food dish by scratching the placemat, but he does that with the dog food all the time anyway, complete with ears back and an offended scowl. He just doesn’t like the smell of Pedigree kibble for some weird reason...

My vet sells those and other Greenie stuff at her office-I’ve never tried those, but Husky girl really hates the Greenie dental bone chews she sells-leaves them bitten in half on the floor.

I buy them at PetSmart, cheaper than the vet’s office. Milkbones are Missy’s favorite. The latest on Missy is the diarrhea has increased and I found a blood clot in it. Obviously, she has another issue we don’t know about.

I hope it is nothing more than a very delicate digestive system, and that something is available to relieve it.

Mine gobble the heart worm wrapped in a bit of cheese. Also if you stick it far enough in back if their mouth it helps.

I think all we’ve had to worry about is some worm medicine, but River gobbled it up.

It's expensive but my vet said the quantity they need for any measurable improvement is not in those pills and by the time we start to use them, they are less likely to help. But for something to make you smile...

Husky girl likes the heartworm stuff I get, but it has a sort of liver smell. The cosequin smells more like a vitamin “C” tablet than anything else-at least to my human nose.
