CritterKeeper Jeez, touchy much? So why not give me "the benefit of the doubt" and "assume" that I "have a reason" for replying as I did. I've worked with dogs professionally for many years. I never say NEVER when it comes to any animal but finding brindling on a full...

Ok, so sucking her brains out might be a little over the top, but the tick was on pretty good! I found it (I think it was a brown dog tick) this morning when I was brushing her hair. It made me jump when I ran my fingers over the...

CritterKeeper I believe the only problem with leaving the head in actually is the same as any other foreign object, it can cause an infection at the site. That's why you should clean the area after removing it. I'm so glad you got it! I had a tick on my back as a child...

CritterKeeper Awwww I was so sure you'd be local so I could loan you a shoulder to lean on. Well I'm still here online if you need someone who's been there, done that :) I'll private message you my email address. Hopefully it'll make you feel a tiny bit better. I know...

So, I have been nursing for the past 11 days, and as much as I am truly loving the experience, I am also having a really hard time with soreness... I've been using Lansinoh in between feedings and letting myself air dry...

CritterKeeper Yaaay you saw this discussion and came to reply! I successfully breastfed both of my boys and am a big advocate of it so I was praying that someone more experienced with problems like this could offer this poor mama some good advice! I'd hate to see her give...

So my first labor I had an epidural, the next one came too fast so I didnt get any epidural or meds, the third and fourth I had the epidural but the fourth time it wore off when I had to push so I felt it all (ouch!). This time I...

CritterKeeper I totally agree with you about all of that! The less intervention you can get away with the better! Being able to walk around if you feel like it, change positions, stay very relaxed and calm...all things that can make labor easier and less painful but are not...

CritterKeeper Oh! I just saw under "Similar Discussions" at the bottom of this page a post by someone who is an RN and Lactation Consultant (pilsberry22)!!! Maybe you can drop her a message to get a little expert help!

CritterKeeper LOL Have I mentioned lately that I love you? Believe me, seeing abusive owners "accidently" going face first into a fish bowl would just tickle me pink! LOL I'm really interested in these other ideas. I've never heard of an animal watch. Could you tell me...

CritterKeeper You know, I've often wished I could win the lottery so I could open a truly MASSIVE pet store/pet education center. Only appropriate pets from responsible, ethical breeders would be sold (no large birds, monkeys, wild animals, etc.), all animals would be cared...

CritterKeeper Oh they ARE regulated but the standards of care are not high enough plus I can tell you firsthand that places like this get very good at hiding infractions that they could get into real official trouble with this!

CritterKeeper In my experience animal welfare agencies like this just don't have high enough standards for pet care. It's great that they help enforce some basic guidelines like pets must have a shelter, food, water, etc. but they leave a lot lacking. They make sure that...

CritterKeeper Thanks for the ideas! I've found a few sitters in my area on the net so far. The first lady I interviewed isn't going to work out for us. The second I talked to I'm very hopeful about but have not interviewed yet. One local guy who emailed me was actually very...

CritterKeeper That's the first time I've ever heard of someone else using italian dressing as a marinade! I love using it the same way, usually on turkey legs or chicken! My fiance thought I was absolutely nuts but had to admit that it made poultry really juicy, tender, and...

CritterKeeper Ahh I'm sorry, I should've read your tags! It looks like your boyfriend is military! I'm guessing you're in Texas by your screen name. Is he stationed at Ft. Hood by any chance? If so I'm local and would be happy to help in some way if you need it!
