Someone please tell me how this makes any sense. I called my vet and asked if I can purchase topical flea treatment from them because I've picked a flea off of Felix and noticed some more. They tell me they will not sell it to me because he hasn't had his vaccines and needs to come in for a check-up... :mad2:
Order what you need from Chewy. It's cheaper. We used Advantage II Purple and it works great.

I am in Canada. Chewy and those common sites you guys use are not available to me.

I bought some diatomaceous earth and sprinkled it on Felix because I couldn't locate the flea. I also bathed him afterwards with dish soap and made sure to comb through his coat. Couldn't find the flea. No sign of it. Washed the carpets. Hoping it's dead now.

you can sprinkle that on the carpet and let it sit for a day or two then carefully vacuum up..use a shop vac as regular vacuums don't like DE dust. or you can use a broom to brush it up just make sure the dust is not airborne in your kitty's face or yours. It will kill any fleas in the carpets.

I knew nothing about her till I read her obit this morning. She was soooo adorable. I wonder if her dwarfism had something to do with not being able to treat the UTI. There was a pick with her wearing a sweet brown wig, gosh, she was the kind of cat you'd have to kiss 100 times a day.

Did you notice that the Marshall in the first episode was Sean Renard from Grimm? Once a cop, always a cop I guess.
AH HA! I kept thinking, "Now, where do I know him from?" but couldn't place it!

You might want to consider changing all passwords.
After 5 years, I think it may be moot...

We ended up having to default on the job because we couldn't get the information we needed. I found out later that when someone from the company that was using this program had to call customer service because they were having trouble with the program the instructions they received would have had them formatting their hard drive and wiping out all of their data if they'd been naive enough to follow them.
LORD...Margret, you KNOW how I am about computers. Makes me glad I have Team Viewer, and a son who can do anything with a computer short of making it take out the garbage...and he's working on that for me.

I hear that Chewy will begin shipping to Canada "shortly." I don't know what "shortly" might mean in the corporate world, though.

omg Grumpy cat passed away!! :bawling2:
I know. My heart is broken. She brought so much snarky joy to so many! Rest you gentle, Grumpy Cat, dream you deep. Your pawprints are on millions of hearts the world over.

Mamanyt1953 Mamanyt1953 - All the best places only ship within the USA. There are a few fresh pet food companies I wanted to try for my animals but they don't ship to Canada. When I email and ask, I just get pitty, "That's too bad! Maybe some day!" :sigh:
Also North Dakota. For some reason companys don't want to ship there and offers are 'not available in North Dakota'.
My son's friends have a hard time getting anything online shipped to them.

Oh, this wasn't a personal computer; it was a company computer, a mainframe I believe, and the IT department knew enough not to format the hard drive based on instructions from a customer service department with a strong foreign accent. No one with your level of computer naivete who worked for the company would have been tasked with calling customer service for a computer problem; if you'd worked for them I'm sure they'd have put you in a different department entirely, so don't let it give you nightmares.
