Please take her to a "No-Kill" Shelter!

Otherwise, the animals are usually put down after only a week and 1 week really isn't long enough to get the dog adopted. So Please only bring the dog to a "no-kill" shelter!

We adopted 3 kittens from the shelter and they
sneezed like crazy, turned out it was a common infection in shelters, but our vet said to give 500 mg of lysine - we crushed it and mixed it with a tiny bit of canned food to make sure they got it. It really worked. We stopped it a couple of days and the sneezing came back, restarted it and it stopped. They eventually developed the immunities to fight it.
Rescued a pair from a shelter in Oct....sm
Black and tan. They are 1-1/2 and have been together since they were pups. She (Georgia) had his (Duke's) puppies not too long before we got them. I think the poor things were abused though. They are mini's. He's very timid, she's a little territorial. They are coming along nicely and enjoy their new home. However, they were never housetrained very well. Anyone have any ideas on how to get them housetrained. Not sure how much longer DH will let me keep them if I can't get that part under control. We all just love them to pieces, but the not being housetrained is getting old. Any suggestions?
Our shelter is horrible. A year ago we fostered
a litter of 3 kittens who were sick. We had to keep taking them back to the shelter because otherwise we would have to pay the vet fees. One of the kittens I zipped up in a fleece jacket and had it with me 24/7 for 2 days because I just knew she was going to die. We ended up taking them to our vet and getting some good care. We took them back to the shelter to be adopted when they were well and our hearts were broken. Two years ago we had our 16-YO cat put to sleep due to FIP, not before we spent $5,000.00 on her because our vet at the time wouldn't tell us there was no hope. We didn't feel we could afford more vet bills but we had a hole in our heart and thought fostering was the answer. We ended up going back and adopting all 3 and were glad the litter wasn't bigger than it was - LOL. We routinely take cat food and litter to the shelter, but we no longer foster and it breaks my heart to see the condition that these animals are living in. Unfortunately it really isn't the shelter's fought, it is the pet owners who refuse to spay/neuter their pets that create the problem.
I will not take this dog to the shelter, would have done that already if I didn't truly care about her. We've coped for 5 days, we can cope for a couple of more until I can find her a loving home. If there were any way we could keep her we would, but we just can't, for lots of reasons, and it isn't fair to her, or my children who have fallen in love with her.
We adopted a beagle/hound mix from a shelter
He had kennel cough an eye infection & ear infections in both ears. I was appalled b/c this shelter rescued him from a kill-shelter in VA. The shelter we got him from call themselves "Puppy Angels" and they go on & on about how much they love the animals & all they do for them. They told me he was healthy & had been examined by the shelter owner's sister who was a vet & also the other VA shelter's vet. I don't believe that for a second- how could have been seen by 2 vets & never treated? Anyway, he is fine now. We clean his ears periodically to prevent infections, the kennel cough is all cleared up & his eye is fine now, he is now completely healthy. We are so happy we rescued him, he's made such a wonderful addition to our family. He's incredibly loud & very hyper but he's also the sweetest dog I've ever met. He's our baby! 
Such gloom and doom. Better head for the bomb shelter.
heh heh
You can always say, "No, thank you."
IMO, a good and reputable accountant (along with many others) will tell you when their services are not necessary, especially if you ask. It's just good business practice. I never hurts to ask.
"no boogers"
The doc dictates, "no boogers, fevers or chills"... what would you replace "boogers" with, as I do not seem to be able to find that word in any medical dictionary...I though nasal discharge...
Docs...aaahhhh!!!
to "no message"
Do you do MT and ME? I am just doing MT right now but am considering trying ASR. How does that work? Can you do BOTH or just pick 1??? If you can do both, do the reports come "mixed". Meaning maybe 2 MT jobs then 3 ASR then an MT, ASR, MT, ASR, etc. etc. Or do you get all ASR until it is caught up and then MT or the reverse depending on how pools are set up. I am a little clueless and need some input. Thanks :-)
And all Joy said was "No" on the inside of her post just as did OMT.
I'm not "no whining" that is a different poster ..
and I have quite a life! Bet I make more than you, as well!!!
Lots going on for me!! I'm not complaining about anything in my life!
Losers are the ones on here who whine about how bad their jobs are, or no work, or low pay, or how people treat them, or how companies treat them, or how bad they've got it ... now THOSE are losers. Willing to whine but nothing more!!!!
:) Does that irritate you?! LMAO
LOL I have no idea who "no whining" is but
see, we sound the similar because we have a similar problem -- sick of YOU.
Ya see, all of you whiners --are just the same. Every single one of ya. MQ cheated you. MQ STILL cheats you. MQ won't change. MQ IS changing. MQ took your money. MQ mailed you check. MQ doesn't give you any work. MQ doesn't, MQ does, MQ doesn't, MQ does.
All sounds the same to us. We're sick of you.
What's embarassing is the fact that you THINK you are really MTs! HOW FUNNY!!! Let me tell you something: Real MTs take pride in their work and control of their professional lives. They give all for companies that treat them well and they leave companies that don't. They don't stand for it.
I am not "no whining". I am a completely different person, have no idea who he/she is, don't really care. I'm just tired of hearing you complain over what you can change. It's petty, cheap, childish, self-centered, and downright unprofessional.
I've made over $200 today with MQ. How about you? Have you made any money today? NO? Hmmmm, wonder why!?!?!?!!!!!
I think I would just note "no gifts please".
Nor would I ever suggest only money be given.
"No history of TB exposure"? nm

p.s. to "no, it wasn't aimed...
I re-read my posts "A Matter of Pride" and "Shades of," looking for all the nasty mud-slinging & dagger-throwing I'm being accused of, & I'm simply not seeing it. I still think both posts are completely benign. There was never any mud-slinging intended on my part & for the life of me I can't figure out why Personal Choice got so upset, other than defensiveness/projection. I am still sorry you feel your thread got wrecked, but I'm not sorry I responded in a measured way to Personal Choice. All I was doing was making some calm observations, & I think it's ironic that this kind of response to my thoughts is why I stayed away from the boards for a long time.
I especially like the part about "no longer uses (sm)
international contractors."
OMT said, "No" on the inside of post message.
so "no whining" - still no SELF CONTROL, huh? The MQ draws you like a
to blood------------
you are the one pathetic. Those of us who are trying to figure out how to get out of the muck MQ put us in, come here to share things and hopefully come out of this disaster in one piece.
Like others have said - -0 - - - stay away.
Don't click on things MQ.
Don't YOU get it? We don't need your attacks. We don't need your smart butt remarks. If you don't have anything constructive to post to those of us in a bit of a mess, then don't say anything and move on.
Otherwise we are going to think you are MQ management, and we wouldn't want to think they would stoop that low.
That is hysterical. When I say flames I mean "no mean posts to me." It's just a saying. nm

Recent postings about "no work and so forth"
Quite a few posters who have been MTs for a number of years (myself included) have come under attack recently for comments posted here -- what those of us who have done this for years are seeing is "I only want to work certain hours, won't do weekends, don't want to be on call so on and so forth" Guess what? I got an email from my supervisor on Monday asking me to cover a certain work type while that person was on vacation -- I did it!!! -- She also called me today (Sunday and asked me to do 3 STATS -- I cover STATS on Wednesday) -- however, I did it because it it my JOB -- since I started this job in October, I have NEVER run ouf of work -- if the work type that I do runs out, I do to a differnt work type, it is similar to learning a new account which I have done in the past as well. All I want to say, is be grateful right now that you have a job and if the "work does not fit YOUR FAMILY SCHEDULE" then learn to adjust -- think PRIORITIES
Both? I thought Spheris had a "no compete" rule.
At least that is what I was told. Or maybe this is just a new thing?
I fail to understand what the "competition" would be. 
I think each case is unique. I had a "no changer" and he changed (sm)
We went for counseling and boy did things change!!!! We now listen to each other. We talk more than we ever have. We do things as a couple, for each other. We learned to openly appreciate each other for little things. We learned to love each other in ways that we never did before.
Believe me, my DH came from living at home with momma into our marriage and he expected me to take the place of his mom. That worked for a little while until I grew tired of being his maid and his bedroom companion.
What's wrong with "no gifts please" and then if some DO give money or

Help with "no operating system found" message sm
Laptop with Windows XP shows "no operating system found" - desktop working. Did this before and comes back with turning on and off, went into "setup" and shows I have so many MB stored on hard drive but cannot get system to boot, misplaced XP CD. This time I cannot get it to come back and depend on laptop at end of day to research, e-mail, etc., as desktop for too many hours is too painful. Any way to get the Windows XP to start up so I can do a system restore to an earlier time? Perhaps an update did this. It is "dead" but everything is still on there, lots of "good stuff" - a Dell so no one else will touch it and I can't get online with them as my other computer is not a Dell.

message re. "no operating system found"
No warranty- a client co. added some software to the XP which was very expensive, i.e., voice, lots of extras I used for over 2 years, "loaded" and it did this to me before but was able to get it back by unplugging, restarting several times.No one else will touch a "Dell" and that co. is closed. After several "hundred" times I can only do an "F2" and it shows me there is a hard drive with several MB of stuff on there but won't load it, tried everything in the system - hate to lose all this "good" stuff. Is there any way I can transfer my XP from my desktop or run the laptop from my desktop somehow. I think if I could get a startup menu and choose a time to restore it to, like last month or something, I could use it and stop any further "updates" which really mess up things. Gosh, I loved my laptop as it is not "painful" to use and I do have such back pain at end of day, but then I am preaching to the choir about back pain and this job, aren't I? Hate to give up on it when I know there are some good programs on there. Sorry for the rant, I have let this "take over my life" trying to get it to work again. ***$#!** Thank you!
Sometimes they just kill me!
Chief Complaint: Back pain.
Review of Systems: No back pain.

Hmmmmm???
Anyone know how to kill
these little boogers? I have some at my house, my feline might have had 1 for lunch and they are poisonous to kitties- any ideas? Looked on the internet but could not find anything definite. Thanks!
you people kill me! (sm)
give the woman a break, already! HER CHILD IS MISSING IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY! I'm sure she's not in her usual state of mind. Instead of running her in the ground, all this energy should be spent on positive thoughts and prayers for the family and for Natalee. They need support, not condemnation. Prayer is a mighty thing, give it a try!
That which does not kill you, will only make you

Would it kill a doctor to....
Actually just spell out a name of a random physician that they include in their report? I mean, for the company I work for, we have to search physician registries and such to FIND physician names. Now, if the hospital is in Alabama and the doctor just throws it out there and says......"She once saw Dr. XXXXX in Toledo, Ohio", I mean come on now, PUH-LEASE just spell Dr. XXXXX's name for me! It will take you TWO SECONDS to do so and it takes me way too many minutes to search around and try to find this dude's name!
Not trying to be Miss Complainey Pants today, LOL, but sometimes you just gotta vent!
I guess we have to wear ID bracelets "no docs not on approval list" nm

She didn't say she put "no-no" in her feedback and used baby talk in her constructive criti
I wish she were on my QA team. She sounds wonderful!
not kill any living thing?
oH, what about the plants? are they not living? some worship them too...and NO. I will not leave my God out of anything. My God is in me and I in Him. I will not try to separate one from the other. Sorry if my faith bothers you.
LOL! And stress will kill you or make you
now have some incurable, difficult to treat, chronic, crippling, painful disease brought on by stress!
Hope they don't kill off Tony!!!

DITTO-don't kill off Tony - say do you think....sm
do you think if we ALL wrote to HBO that they'd keep the Sopranos on for a couple of more years??????? It wouldn't hurt to write to them - I mean how easy can it be online? *laughs*
Off to write to HBO....*S*

If I gave that recipe out, he'd kill me....but....
no body lives forever, right? ;) My son makes three 8-inch round cake layers, cuts off the tops to make them all flat then cuts each layer in half (using a piano wire--very culinary :). The rasp. filling from scratch takes forever, but a quick alternative is to heat rasp. jelly on low and add regular nonflavored brandy. Heat stirring constantly until it thickens a little and is spreadable. This should not take very long at all (heating too high for too long will turn it into hard candy when it cools). Spread between the cake layers. The genache is just white chocolate, butter and heavy cream. My son goes by what the stuff looks like with regards to how much of each he needs, but I'll bet you can find a recipe on epicurious. com or the like. I know this is not exact, but hope it helps a little.
Okay then, should you kill every animal that scares you be it a dog or - sm
or a cat....does not make sense. They are animals, they just want to be left alone. Some people scare me sometimes, should I go out and shoot them? People need to be a bit more tolerant. I am not a huge fan of snakes either but I will never understand the killing of any animal unless it is for food or if the animal attacks.
so in other words, kill everything that is causing--sm
an epidemic. What about HIV and other diseases? Kill them too?
Yes - cold does kill fleas
it's called WINTER not air conditioning........ROFLMAO! Are you for real?
Didn't that unmatched SS kill ya? nm

Go to Mickey D's where you belong before you kill someone. nm

Hey, I've done that before and they didn't kill me.
I told my boss right away what I did and apologized. I still have my job.
Yes, as a matter of fact, it WOULD kill them.
And the planet might fall out of orbit too.
I once had to tell a doctor that I'd only been to Ireland once, and thus didn't know any of the same people over there that he did, so when he was writing letters to them and mentioning other people's names (all with the accent of course) I had NO clue who he was talking about.... Somehow, that was an odd concept to him. Doesn't everybody know all the same people in Ireland??
Quit before I got married. Fiance told me "no way would I marry a smoker," and I was smitten.
Marlboro Reds. I smoked all throughout high school and college before that. Was highly addicted. Had to go for a smoke break between classes.
It's been 10+ years since quitting. Cold turkey. Don't want it, don't want to smell it, won't eat at a restaurant that allows smoking. Fortunately (sorry smokers) in GA, all restaurants are smoke-free now. I like it that way. Can enjoy food better.
BUT, I have a completely different problem that is probably killing me - I'm addicted to sugar and carbs. Highly. Wake up craving it. 40+ pounds overweight. Hate every minute of it. No matter how hard I try, I absolutely cannot stop eating the "white, starchy" stuff. So, the cigarettes may not kill me now, but food might. Sad.
some jerk wanted to kill my pigeons
I have lots of doves, regular birds (sparrows, finches, you name it) and pigeons frequent my property cause I put bird seed down. I had some guy come by last winter and ask if he could pay me to catch the pigeons so they could kill them and eat them..I said, honey, I love animals and there is no way Im gonna let you come here and kill my pigeons..you are talking to the wrong person, LOL..
Try to get you old job back, I'd kill for $500 a week after taxes- nm

I'd kill for what you have--- be thankful -- sounds very good to me! - nm
