ORIGINAL: PeanutTigerinBox Sending (((((hope))))) for your dog over the pond. I have to say I shook my head again today in the vet waiting room, that it is quite bizarre how different cats and dogs respond to things....the stuff snails/slugs can carry with them is a problem for dogs, but not for cats (which was my worry when summer ate at least 5 of them during her pregnancy), then chocolate (if I remember it correctly) is ok for dogs (not that you should give it to them but it wouldn't kill them) whereas it can kill cats...and also the flea treatment for dogs is not suitable for cats as it can kill the cat...you could think they would be quite similar but so obviously are not how their body responds to such stuff....(sorry but it just feels a bit weird to me that fact). Chocolate is poisonous for dogs also. And yes, when there was a low allergy cat in the house we used Frontline on the dog, now that we're catless he gets Advantick(sp) instead. Hitting head on wall about the stupidity of the school. Kidlet started yesterday, we planned his schedule in the spring, came in over the summer to double check it, got a written confirmation of it last week. Walked in yesterday to discover the principal changed it all around for no reason. He lost the English teacher he likes and was put in the class of one he dislikes, was stuck in a craft class full of 14 year old girls, lost the study hall first period he had worked to get, etc. All in one week. Hopefully guidance can put it back to normal today otherwise I go in this afternoon and tell her that waiting until school started is totally unacceptable. If she had a problem with his schedule, then it should have been addressed months ago. But her incompetence is no reason for my kid to pay.
