  1. Magnetic Collars for Dogs?

    Has anyone ever heard of magnetic dog collars? I recently bought a magnetic bracelet for myself and was researching them online and I found a pet collar. Has anyone tried this or heard of the benefits for dogs with IVDD? I would greatly appreciate any feedback. Thanks.

  2. Just saying hello

    I have been sooooo out of touch as Hansel gets older...dealing with cushings and a scary time with pancreatitis, all the more reasons to be here, for support etc, but I guess after a tiring day, I check emails, etc and flop down on the lazy boy...the chair that is, not the Hans lol.

    My dear mother also suffered a debilitating stroke last fall so I have been very preoccupied with my family, so 09 was challenging but nonetheless am not worse for the wear. Glad to be back and touch base ...

  5. Obama is Finally Walking the Walk

    Did I just read that the Obama administration approved airstrikes in Pakistan last night? Oh, Heaven forbid! Isn't that against what his campaign speeches claimed they would do - to sit and talk with the leaders of this country? What, tea and crumpets didn't work in establishing the peace that Obama said would make him different than Bush? Don't get me wrong. I am all for national security taking precedence over campaign rhetoric. What I am shaking my head at is the fact that many Obama lovers ...
