Not sure what it is bout summers, but I lose my taste for politics. Too much other stuff going on.

This is JenJen bait- the Last American Cowboy on Animal Planet rocks, and the border collies are all amazing. The one that is able to ride on the back of the four-wheeler kills me. He must be going 30 miles an hour and that dog just hangs on and loves it.

Also, some talk about Great Pyrenees in the thread. They are wonderful dogs, and my mom, dad, Ginny, and Guesly are all visiting the beach where they stay with their friend and this gentle giant:

He is a wonderful dog, and when there are other dogs around that look hostile or sketchy, he always steps in between the other dogs and Ginny and Guesly to shelter them.

    I get so caught up in it all. Then I remember that only just the tiniest portion of voters pay any attention at all to the details of politics, much less policy. It is all tribalism and the economic fundamentals, and nothing else. I think I will give it up… except I, too, feel some comfort when my tribe wins. Go figure.

    I understand spring will be starting soon. Today only got to 63°, but tomorrow it’s suposed to hit 72°, and Wednesday, for the first time this year, it may hit 75°. Of course it will be raining that day.

    ETA: My personal reason for losing taste for politics in the summer is that most of the nonsense that’s going on makes my blood boil, and with the weather at 90 degrees and 90 percent humidity, I don’t need anything else to make my blood boil.

    Hot & humid, north of Boston. We’re back to “spend a full hour watering every day it doesn’t rain” weather, which usually doesn’t happen till the Fourth of July. On the positive side, most of my tomatoes are finally setting fruit. And the potato plants in gro-bags (this year’s new experiment) look like they’re going to flower in the next week or so. The various basils are really taking off, with the exception of the lemon basil — so I moved its pot from the side yard to the asphalted driveway strip, which gets more sun, but also dries out the potted plants quicker…

    I got a paycheck from the new job, so I could take one of my cats to the vet. She’s getting skinny, and I was really worried that it was kidney failure. Not that, it’s hyperthyroidism. Good news, in a way, as this is treatable. Looks like my 2 options are radioactive iodine or surgery. Does anyone have experience with this? Looks like radiation is more expensive, safer, and takes her away from home for a week. Surgery is cheaper, has more risks, and only takes her away for a day. Any advice is welcome :)

Mark Twain’s “Innocents Abroad” is a truly wonderful book – travel through Europe with acerbic, at times virulently racist, but always hilarious asides from old Samuel (available in five volumes on iBooks for free with all original illustrations). A dog (insert furry animal of your choice) is the best hot water bottle.

    We had not one, but two cats develop this within a couple of years of each other.

    With cat #1, we tried daily pills at first, as radioisotope therapy seemed extreme. She tolerated it for about a year, but began hiding in the mornings and was getting scrawnier, so we bit the bullet and got the radiation therapy. It cost about $1000 in Toronto in 2003, but this is why God invented credit cards. She stayed away for several days, we had daily calls in to the facility, where she was treated well and got all the canned food she wanted, and when she came home, we just put her litterbox waste in a far corner of the apartment for the prescribed period. She lived another healthy and happy 5 years before developing renal failure. It was worth it.

    When cat #2 got the same diagnosis one year after we got cat #1 to glow-in-the-dark status, we immediately chose radiation, much to our vet’s amazement. Cat #2 came through with flying colours, too.

    So if you can handle the immediate expense or can budget to pay it off, radiation is more effective and gives excellent long term results, plus it’s also cheaper than pills after a few years.

    I have a solution to the illegal immigration bullshit. This will fix it once and for all. Declare that all immigrants who want to come to the U.S. will be accepted. No ifs ands or buts. But the condition is, you can only become a legalized citizen if you come in through the legalization process. And then you make the legalization process a rubber stamp.

    Boom. Done. People who are here illegally will just have to cross the border and come back in and they will be legal immigrants.

    @BethanyAnne: We’re in the midst of this with a 14-year-old cat. She had a thyroid thing and a terrible respiratory infection at the same time, and she lost like a third of her body weight, and only massive doses of antibiotics and subcutaneous fluids brought her back from the brink. And it happened twice in three months.

    Once she stabilized, we set to work on the thyroid problem. We couldn’t afford the radiation treatment for her, and the nearest place that does it is far away anyway; plus, this cat hates strangers.

    We started out doing the daily pill routine, which was traumatic to everyone concerned, until one day my wife in total frustration (we were both literally on the kitchen floor crying) decided to see what would happen if she dissolved the pill in water and mixed it with canned cat food into a slurry. It was foul-looking, but the cat actually liked it. No more trauma! (Only unanticipated outcome: we have to give our other cat a spoonful of the canned food to keep him from trying to still the medicated concoction, and he’s gotten pretty fat, or, as the French say, à la Tunch.)

    I was worried that the vet would say that dissolving the pill in water meant that the cat wasn’t getting enough of a dose, but the blood tests have been better and better and we have to give her less and less of the medicine.

He was able to stay and the country got an intelligent hard working person who paid his taxes and liked his new home country.

    I helped my elderly mother with getting her cat veterinary care, which included the radioactive iodine treatment. The cat was only away for a day or so, though I had to collect and store the litter box scoopings for a month due to the radioactivity. Unfortunately, the cat didn’t make it. She was already 18 years old, though, and I think she must have had other problems in addition to the hyperthyroidism. So, even though we didn’t have good success with it, I would still recommend it.

    You mentioned that your only two options were surgery or the radioactive iodine treatment, due to the difficulty in giving Cheyenne pills. There is an additional option – ear applied medicine. You’ll have to get it made at a compounding pharmacy, and you’ll have to wear a glove when you apply it. But it only takes a second to apply and doesn’t bother the cat too much.

    That GP is gorgeous. The wife and I have a chocolate Newf, 110 pounds, who is 50/50 around small dogs…so long as they’re not all-white and yappy(her previous (Republican) owners kept her outside along with another Newf, while they kept a yappy all-white dog inside–figure that’s why she goes apeshit around them).
    And, yeah, Hazel doesn’t obey either, she just chooses to cooperate. She does have me well-trained on when to give her belly-rubs.

  102. 102.

    Thanks, everyone. I’m going to talk to the vet about the radiation. I don’t think we discussed it enough. I had never thought about mixing meds into her gravy / wet food. Bet that would work :)
