One of those is vet bills, which of course aren't deductible, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't know the total. I'm doing my best in an imperfect world to respect the rights of other sentients, and I have heard vegans say that sanctuaries--and not pet ownership--will be the only way out of subjugation for cats and dogs.

First let me say that there is no recall of Vetsulin (often used to manage the diabetes of dogs and cats) as of today. I alerted my regular (non-specialist) vet of this and though he didn't treat me like a crazy person, he didn't do any research, either. Last night, my vet called to update me. It was also great for most cats.

From the feral cats of Project Treadstone to Charles' back surgery to problems with Violet's Vetsulin (insulin for dogs), we had more than our share of issues. Greyhound skin is very thin. The greyhound people tell you that, not to mention it's pretty obvious. But alas, the supply has dwindled. What a relief!

I somehow became the non-vet, go-to person regarding dogs and diabetes, I suppose due to my frequent blogging about Violet Rays (left), my greyhound who has been through diabetes, blindness (then cataract replacement), glaucoma and retina detachment. I use the Accu-Chek Compact. And those features cost money.

Just in case you were wondering what an 85-lb red fawn greyhound looks like from the back with a couple dozen acupuncture needles in him. But I would feel like a terrible caregiver if animal protein was somehow the answer and I refused to try it. It'll be my area's first group dedicated to reducing the feral cat population!

Dr. Newest Vet sent this to me from yesterday's day at "camp" for Charles. Anyone have any luck walking a cat with a leash and harness? And then it proceeds to: "None of these questions, however, make any consideration of whether it is wrong to kill animals for human consumption." The problem is lack of activity.
