The Vet's Bill
A man's dog is hit by a car, so he takes it to the vet. The vet
says, "Sorry sir, but your dog is dead."
The owner, upset, say's "I want a second opinion."
The vet opens the door and a labrador comes walking in.
The dog walks around the dead dog, then barks,
then leaves the room.
The vet looks at the owner, of the dead dog, "Sorry sir, your
dog is dead."
Still unsatisfied, the owner says I want a third opinion. The
vet
walks to the door again and opens it, a cat comes in to the
room and walks around the dead dog, then meows, and then
leaves the room.
The vet again, turns to the owner, "Sorry sir, your dog is
dead."
The owner turns and walks out of the room and up to the front
desk, and gets the bill. He became horrified at the price.
He turns to the vet, "$600 dollars? For what?" The vet looks at
the owner and says, "It would have been only 50 dollars for me,
but you wanted the LAB test and CAT scan

Should You Leave Food Down All The Time
For Your Cat?
With: Jane R. Bicks, D.V.M.
Cats are no more intrinsic nibblers than humans, and
if you have an unlimited quantity of food lying about
for either, it's going to be eaten - and eventually
in excessive amounts.
If you're going to be away for the weekend, leaving dry
food for your cat is fine, providing you've also arranged an
ample supply of fresh water. Be sure the dry food has
at least three meat proteins in the first 6 to 7 ingredients;
that will ensure the urine Ph is acidic.
If, because of personal or professional obligations, you
must allow your cat to self feed, provide form and flavor
variety right from the start. Cats, if permitted, will easily
become addicted to one food, to the exclusion of others,
which can be dangerous and even life threatening, if
a dietary change is deemed necessary in the event of
an illness.
Do not leave food available for nibbling if you intend to
feed one or two balanced meals a day. Except for kittens
and pregnant or lactating queens, cats do not need the
additional calories of a round the clock buffet.
If you have a kitten and know you won't be home in
time to serve the next meal until much later, wait until
a few minutes after the kitten has eaten his normal meal
and then place dry food in his dish.
Don't worry if the kitten gobbles this down, too; just refill
the bowl. This is not going to be an everyday occurrence,
so don't worry. The kitten will probably sleep a lot while
you're gone and might not be overly hungry for the next meal,
but you'll be assured that he or she will have enough food to
eat even in you're delayed in returning.
Canned foods spoil can cause gastrointestinal ailments
if left out all day.
NOTE: Only FLUTD prone cats should have food available
at all times unless they are obese.

Surveys show that 62 percent of dog owners admit that their dog
owns a sweater, winter coat or raincoat.
Cats prefer to eat their food at 86º F, which is why they don't
immediately gulp down the half-eaten can of food from the
refrigerator.
In 1987, cats overtook dogs as the number one pet in America.
A frightened dog puts it's tail between it's legs because it
covers the scent glands in the anal area. Since the anal glands
carry personal scents that identify individual dogs, the
tail-between the-legs behavior is the canine equivalent of
insecure humans hiding their faces.
At least 63% of dog owners admitted to kissing their dogs. Of
these, some 45% kissed them on the nose, 19% on the neck,
7% on the back, 5% on the stomach and 2% on the legs. An
additional 29% listed the place they kiss their dog as other!
The frog was an ancient Egyptian symbol, later adopted by the
conquering Romans. The Frog-headed goddess Hekt was the goddess
of birth and fertility, and later also of resurrection.
The study of ants is called Myrmecology.
One in 5,000 North Atlantic lobsters are born bright blue.
