I’m not someone who’s easily offended. I’m a “live and let live” kind of gal, generally speaking, as long as you’re not hurting or bothering anyone (or yourself)

So, we’ve decided–for the first time ever in all this–that it’s time to move on not because we’re actually moving but because this practice doesn’t meet our needs. What to look for in a new veterinarianI’m not sure Cooper will ever feel relaxed at his vet’s office, but he did fine (for Cooper) with two of the roughly 10 vets listed above in no small part because of the effort those vets put into making him feel safe. Considering new vets now, I happened to be at another vet’s office in town and texted John that there was no way we could consider them. As we look for Cooper’s new vet (and, by extension, the cats’ new vet, too! ) I’ll share what we learn along the way!

Running With Dogs: How to start trail running with your dogLast year I shared Running With a Dog However, I’m committed to it partly because I want to be stronger, partly because I want to feel like I can do it, and partly because it’s Cooper’s greatest joy in all the universe. It’s good for you and it’s good for your dog to take it slowly. If I were to get super technical with trail running, I’d probably look into this brand because it’s so renowned for trail shoes.

We say things like: this dog food is inexpensive or this veterinary practice offers lower-cost services or this treat is too expensive or whatever, but inexpensive/expensive/low-cost/whatever to whom? For example, in a simple search on the average cost of dog food for a year, I found articles that suggested dog owners budget anywhere between $100 and $900 per year. I wanna know what kind of dog can stay interested in $35’s worth of toys because it’s certainly not Cooper. Just like with medical emergencies, it’s impossible to know what to expect with a new pet, but it’s so, so important to go into pet ownership knowing you might just end up treating a chronic condition and be prepared for that expense.
