Golden Rules

Thanks for the thoughts. I have spoken to them and they said anyone who has a policy with them, will only be getting back $10.00 per consultation, no matter what it is for or how much it was. I'm going off now to read through the policy document That sounds so strange - it simply wouldn't be worthwhile insuring a pet just to get a $10 refund

Yes, I can see Ridgie there too!

A couple of years ago when I was looking for kennels and a cattery, I found a lovely one - Ashridge in Banjup - they are very popular so you need to book well in advance. I haven't used them but many people have recommended them to me which is always good to know! eta - Ashridge are both a kennel and a cattery

With the number of vets that do have resident cats, it obviously can't be too much of an issue to the majority of clients/customers, otherwise everyone would complain and maybe the cats wouldn't still be there.

What trick are you teaching B with the sock dangling off your foot? ;)

Wattle or Kowhai? Actually I don't think it's either of those.

Yep, blue cheese on a pizza would give a bit of a lift for sure! I LOVE a soft creamy blue cheese, it's always much milder than a hard blue cheese like Stilton.

Yep, I have the cream, will go whip it now. Who has the best recipe for scones? oooooooohhhhhhh a whipping...a whipping...... can I watch???? Hang on, I'll just set up the web cam.....

too busy eating garlic bread right now to answer your post be back shortly nom nom nom nom

Yes, thought of that, but didn't want it killed again for being in the wrong forum list. I've got cream, but I think it might be off. Damn. Does blue cheese go with scones? It's very creamy. Blue cheese IN the scones would be yummo!

Doesn't a double negative make a positive? If we were posting illegal content in an illegal thread - and playing nicely to boot - shouldn't that be allowed on a Friday night? ETA up to 22 users now oooh, I like the way you think!

Where's the chick who had the Garlic Dip recipe?

might have been reported, might not...troy might have just not like this rule being broken: Keep on topic and do not purposely railroad threads Have some respect for the topic starter and keep to the topic being discussed. You may not think the topic is worthy of discussion, but others may. You are not the moderator, so don't take it upon yourself to decide what can and can't be discussed here. This includes posting things such as 'get out the popcorn' or 'trainwreck coming'. If you do wish to sidetrack from the original topic, start a new thread in the appropriate forum Nah, someone out there was mean enough to try and ruin a bit of fun, must lead a sad life.

You're always a happy wee soul, what pills do you take? Can I have some??!! The swing man or me?? Whoever!

Not in QLD And not in WA! I haven't even had tea yet!

You're always a happy wee soul, what pills do you take? Can I have some??!!

Milk....sugar...???? anyone have some scones...??? ooooh, scones with raspberry jam and cream!

I wonder if the person who reported the other thread gets some sort of perverse pleasure from doing that? We were all playing very nicely, setting a very good example for everyone.....

Can the last post, it'll be garlic bread!

No worries. We can all eat, we just don't have a special occasion I'm still working out what to make for tea..... suggestions?

There's nothing wrong with those drugs when used short term. They are very effective as pain relief. In fact I'm not sure there is anything more effective than those drugs other than maybe a fentanyl patch? You don't want your dog to be in any more pain than absolutely necessary do you? The risk with those drugs is when they are used long term. My boy has had 3 cruciate ops, and the first week or 10 days after the op is the worst and they really need good pain relief. You probably need to go back and talk to your vet re other options if it concernes you that much. eta - sorry I couldn't be more helpful to you

Sounds like my kinda diet!

I like the little things the staff do which always seem to make a difference as you walk out the door. Things like I often pop in on my way past when out walking, and weigh the dog/s. They never mind and always record the weight even though we don't have have a consult. The treating at a consult works a little toooooo well My boofa boy starts barking as soon as we get into the consult room, demanding a treat. And of course he gets one. I had to leave one dog at the vets one day for Xrays, they happily boarded the other dog (he had separation anxiety) for me at no cost, so both dogs could be together. The last operation my boy had, he came home with a bandana around his neck which said "I have been very brave at Victoria Park Vets" which, while of no consequence, was a nice thing to do. They have let me return products I have bought from them when I have changed my mind for whatever reason. Their prices are very reasonable and they always offer to post off my insurance form and receipt directly to the insurance company for me. I also like that they all wear uniforms and the clinic is always clean. The only thing I don't like is when they have training staff or inexperienced staff handle your animals. I collected my two large dogs from the vet one day and an obviously inexperienced staff member had attached their leads to the thin wire rings on their name tags, rather than the D rings on their collars. Dogs pulled towards me when they were brought out and both broke free in the full consult room. I took in some goodies at Christmas time for them as I'm not sure the staff all get the recognition they deserve. I know vet nurses don't get paid well and yet they do a wonderful job with our beloved furry friends

There's really a Snott Street?
