I feel that pain. Like losing family.

I know what was worse for me was the feeling I somehow betrayed her.

I've heard it said that when our pets are ready they let us know, I know I had started to get the feeling it was her time months prior to the seizure. Still a hard thing to do, but it's much better than watching them suffer in pain.

Here we are 4 years later, I've thought about getting another dog, but there will never be a replacement for Knuckle-dog. (cross between a Knucklehead and a dog), that's what I called her. Sharp Pei Manchester Terrier mix.

I attached a motorcycle battery and car horn to my bicycle?

Would they considerate that??

Maybe there's a market in Peru for that, I'll start a website www.PissoffPeruvianGov.com and sell those types setups so people could walk around the city with a car horn honking.

Oil!

We couldn't take the chance on Russia having that kind of free access to those oil reserves, there is no other reason why we should have gotten involved.

Fast Forward to today, we can never get out of there, the repercussions of our interference will haunt our great grand children if we had left 10 years ago.

The military runs so well because face it, other than financing it the government stays the hell out of it other than saying "Go here, this is what we want to do", then it's left to the brass to make it happen.

The reason the military is a well oiled machine is that bureaucrats keep their faces out of it. You know they don't want to get their hands dirty.

To our soldiers, keep up the good work, you are one of the few things that make our government look like they know what they are doing!

It's not the military, a soldier won't do anything without orders, this includes Generals.

Ok so roads, military, library's that just leaves everything else they do in question.

Please do explain how other than providing funds to local state how the Fed does roads? Please also explain how they can handle the logistics of running the military yet can't handle the logistics of building a website?

Library's also usually down to local state gov.

This is /. brother, I'm sure everyone here knows what the hell a degaussing gun does without the description there.

Due explain how other than burn in a computer monitor may still contain top secret images though.

Silicone Heaven, otherwise where do all the calculators go?

We had a cat go anemic and the vet said transfusion or the animal would die, we took him home and after 4 days of not eating and 2 of not moving and us force feeding him iron supplement and chicken soup we thought he was done for. I made one last call to the vet cause I knew if the animal didn't eat and drink it would die, the nice assistant I talked to said the cats that won't eat sometimes responded to baby food you know the gerber first stage chick or turkey, so I hit the grocery store on the way home and picked up a jar, got home popped the jar open in front of him and placed the lid that had a bit on it in front of him, that tongue came out like nothing I've ever seen before, over the next two days we fed him a bit every hour from the jar, he made a full recovery, this was 8 years ago, he still lives with us.

Total cost, $40 vet visit, $0.60 for the baby food.

Which is why I had my dog put to sleep when she had a seizure, probably treatable, but she also had cancer and was 14 and had lost hear hearing about a month prior to the seizure. At that point all I could picture was leaving for work in the morning the dog having a seizure upstairs and taking a tumble down the stairs in the dazed and confused moments afterward and then lying there in pain broken for 8 hours until I got home to find her.

She went to the emergency vet that night and was put to sleep.

She is loved and missed, this was 4 years ago.

There's the option to seek another opinion too. If you are unsure consult another vet.

I would have said it makes it easier for the NSA to mine our data but yours works equally well.

The same kind of person that seriously thought the opt out in a spam email that was unsolicited actually allowed them to opt out.

One in which this is apparently ok with them obviously.

Using the terms tupperware and million dollar satellites you just put yourself and now me on at least 9 terrorist watch lists.

Thanks.
