Great video. Our dog is already on several of the supplements mentioned, and they do help. Surprisingly, the supplement with the most noticeable difference is nu cat. We ran out of dog glucosamine, but I had some nu cat joint supplement that the vet gave me for the cat, but the cat couldn't tolerate. I figured the dog isn't much bigger than a cat, I'll just give him some nu cat until I make it to the pet store. There was a noticeable difference in only three days. So I read the ingredient list, and nu cat is not glucosamine, it's a multivitamin and mineral supplement. Then I called the vet to make sure it wouldn't hurt him (should have done that first, but didn't think of it), and the vet said it's fine. He's been on it ever since. The one time I ran out, within a couple days he was slowing down and in more pain. We got more in, and in three days his pain was drastically reduced again.

Any time you see an article about a group fighting for "religious education" in schools, swap in the name of a non-Christian religion and see how fast the Conservatives drop it. Teaching our children about Islam? American Indian spirituality? The Geek pantheon? THE UNSPEAKABLE HORROR WON'T SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!

Great suggestions all the way around. I'll wait to see what her shower brings.. If all else fails I can always get diapers. My other dil just had a diaper and wipe shower.. never heard of that but for baby #2 guess it's perfect.
questions. What grades is this offered to? jr high? hs? is it an elective that kids can take if they choose and ignore if they choose? Is this history of the bible the book? just like you might have history of western civilization?

Although I have many extended family members, most of my life is now shared with my two cats and my boyfriend (he does not live with me).
I just found out yesterday that my male cat has a mass inside, has internal bleeding and is very unlikely to be strong enough to survive surgery to explore it. I am just taking care of him as best I can while I wait for nature to take its course. He has been with me for about eight years and I will really miss him.
I will still have the female and do not want to go through taking in another pet. They give a lot of love, and also take a lot of time and money to properly care for them.

aarrrggggghhhhhh.!!! I swapped pages to collect a url for you - and the browser page RELOADED.. Sigh.
Anyway, my mom's vet had a single Aspirin prescribed for her old arthritic gal. It hurt just to watch her struggling to stand up. Each morning, wrapped snugly in slices American cheese - and, even the next morning, she was moving like years before.
And here's a YouTube page with a superbly successful nutritional supplement treatment for a dog in so much pain all the time that a vet was ready to put him out of his misery. I was excited because I plan to do this myself. :-)
I loved how sweet your fellow looks in his warming lounging wear. Makes me think of me. :-D
You guys are purely awesome in treating his diabetes. As if it was your very own child. Im so glad he's still has his get-around vision. With vision, he may very well tolerate a new dog if he's more than a "strange dog smell"..
Thanks for the photos. Bookmark this thread and take your camera along, you can document your adoption search. I'll enjoy the vicarious experience - and I'll probably learn more along the way.
Oh yes - do speak to your vet about adding, ob a few day's trial of Aspirin. Who knows, just one might be safe enough.
Keep us in mind!
