    Lasik eye surgery. Any body had it done?

    I looked into lasik and was told I would have to wear reading glasses afterwards also. The whole idea behind my getting the surgery was so I DIDNT have to wear glassses. So I talked to my eye Dr & have been wearing monovision contacts for about 10 years. I have the close up contact in right eye...

    Irish Wolfhounds

    The vet clinic I worked at had a few as clients. They were very shy with strangers, kinda scarey because they were so big (fear biters were the worst to deal with very unpredictable) and my boss use to say they were a hard pet to own because they had a lot of heart problems & they had a short...

    Puppy getting second shots.

    The vet may not have had a choice on when to give Rabies, if your state requires it no earlier than 3 month then your vet can not break the law even by one day. Having worked in a vet clinic, we had to turn people away because they were one day or one week too early by the birthdate given by...

    New Mom for 8 and 10 year old

    I also agree with Marty. This child has been through a huge trama. She may not be handling it as well as her brother, & then there is the addition of a new marriage & stepmother in the mix. All of a sudden she is having to share her father. A dirty room should not be that important, building a...

    E-Books, anyone have one?

    I am looking at an ebook reader, kindle, or perhaps a sony. I see they are now offering them at Walmart, anyone have one that they can share information on them? Are the books really $9.99 a download? That really seems high to me, I was thinking they would be more like the I-tune downloads for...

    This is just a dream, but I wanted to see if it was possible...

    When we put on our shows in Central Texas, the club put on a free dinner for the exhibitors the night before. Each year it was a bit of a fight to do this with the facility as they wanted to make sure they were the only ones offering the food services as it was an additional source of income for...

    Getting a mare to accept anothers foals

    While reading about the "twin/adoption story" in the other posting, I just wanted to share a tip that worked for us when we were doing Miniatures. We had a few babies that lost their moms during the foaling season ( one was struck by lightning, another died right after foaling, and two more...

    Anyone with bird experience?

    I have had a number of different birds, sun conures are beautiful but are screamers. One thing to keep in mind, birds have to have a lot of attention to stay friendly, & I would really think about it with a baby on the way. Even if you get a hand raised one ( The friendliest, versus bird raised...
