I just wanted to let everyone know that my sweet boy Moww passed away today. He was a wonderful boy who had been through so much. He was approximately 9 when I got him but we suspect he was much older. We had him for about a year. Because of the number of pets we have, and the number we will...

A short background - we have three cats (Meowzers, ~4 year old declawed siamese, Lloyd, ~2 year old feral bottle baby DSH, and Moww, ~9 former stray DSH) and three dogs (Sadie, ~7 year old miniature dachshund, Fynn, ~5 year old standard dachshund, and Bruce, ~1.5 year old king shepherd). Lloyd...

I just thought I'd post a timeline of my cat's (known) history of blockages and, eventually, PU surgery for anyone interested. Who knows, it may help someone that's considering the surgery for their cat.  Back in April I posted about a cat that had come into work blocked. When I posted, he had...

Moww says get off the computer and cuddle me! Poor guy needs to grow some fur back (he had surgery two weeks ago) but he's doing well!

I'm trying to keep this short but with as much info as possible - hopefully, it won't be too long! About two weeks ago we came home and found that the screen on our back door was ripped, not sure what did it but it was a huge, gaping hole that our large king shepherd can jump in and out of...

I posted about this in my "Need Advice" post, but I figured it would get more notice if I made a thread about it. I'll try to include as much information as possible, but of course it was yesterday and I didn't even think to take pictures because I was getting ready for work and checking...

I'm sure a few of you know that I work in a vet clinic. We always have cats up for adoption and have a pretty good success rate with adoptions, even for older cats and cats with medical issues. We currently have a large black smoke cat that is here for hospitalization (he was blocked) and will...

Now that our new place has a fence for the backyard (yay!!) I decided to look into getting a cat proof fence but the cost, even if I were to install it myself, was extremely high and there's no way that we can afford it. If even we could, I could not get my SO to agree to spending that kind of...

Lloyd and Meowzers are both indoor only but have shown a great interest in trying to get outside. This hasn't been an issue because we've been in apartments but we're moving to a townhouse this weekend and I know they're going to try door darting. We want to try to nip it in the bud before it...

I brought Lloyd to work with me today, he was due for a booster and his rabies vaccination. With everything going on in the last year, we were really late getting everything done with him - he just has his first vaccinations last month and was neutered the week after, about 3 weeks ago. He's...

I didn't realize it had been so long since I had actually been on here, things have been a bit crazy here! I'll update on the kitties first, since that's who this site is for  Meowzers (Leiki) - is doing fine, she's actually started to become a bit nicer and will actually come up to us for...

I thought I'd give a quick update on what's been going on around here since I haven't really been on much lately.  Mike's knee is healing up great, he's now walking just fine without crutches or the brace. He does not have to do physio, the doctor said that just walking around without crutches...

As I've posted on here before, my mom is taking me to New York City in October for a little vacation. She really wanted to take me to a Broadway play but to do that, we would have to take a taxi (or public transportation, which she's convinced she'll get lost on) back to our hotel in New Jersey...

I got a call last night from Mike around 2 am telling me that he was in an ambulance going to the hospital because he fell and thought he broke his knee. I wanted so badly to go to the hospital and be with him while he was being examined and everything but we didn't have the money to pay for...

My mom is taking me to New York next month (yay!) and we were thinking about picking up a pay as you go type sim card for my cellphone while we're there so that we can use it. My phone isn't locked to a carrier and I can put a US sim card in it, so no problems there. I just have no idea about US...

Is there a way to calculate the ash in a food when it's not listed on a food?  I'm working on a chart of the level of protein, fat, fibre, moisture, ash and carbs in the different wet foods we sell so that we can help our customers more quickly and accurately. There are a couple of brands where...

I feed the cats on the cat tree so that the dogs can't get to their food as easily. Lloyd just knocked one of the dishes down for the 100th time and of course, it hit the other one and both broke. They were ceramic dishes from a serving platter that I had, but they were the perfect shape, width...

With my work schedule being so crazy, I don't have much time to post on here like I used to but I've still been lurking pretty regularly, lol.  Yesterday, while I was at Job #3, I got a text from two of my coworkers at Job #1. Our boss/manager had been let go. It is a huge shock to all of us...

My dad ordered something for my on August 1st from a website (back brace for one of my dogs). The seller is in the US (Washington State) and I'm in Canada (Ontario). I received a tracking number for the package (International Letter) but the tracking information hasn't been updated since August...

I currently have 3 jobs; part time at a pharmacy (been there for over 6 years, hate it), part time at a pet store (been there since April, LOVE it), and part time as a product demonstrator for a pet food company (been there since November, LOVE it). Up until about a month ago, I was full time at...
