Complained yesterday about my relatives talking about how people waste their money on veterinary treatments... ran into one of the people they had complained about on the way into the condo, with his dog.
Friendly conversation ensued, and of course me going in to vet school came up. The (single, older man) owner was absolutely adorable, encourages me to specialize because of his great experiences with getting his dog cataract surgery at a specialty center, and goes on to say, "It's just wonderful what you guys can do now. This dog is worth a million bucks, he's my best buddy and having him be able to see again was the best thing I could have spent my money on."

it. So in NC we've had thunderstorms pretty much every night. I could go either way with them but my Chi is so afraid. The thunder and the rain scare her. I typically keep her in a DAP collar during storm season and that helps to take the edge off, but she still pants and can't relax. So it's worrying me on a Saturday night when I can't go to a clinic. I put a shirt on her, tight, but not a thundershirt. And then I go to VIN and read about noise phobias. Someone suggested http://throughadogsear.com/canine-noise-phobia-series/. I played a couple of sample clips and it seems to have helped. When she'd get a little more anxious I'd play some more. I really hope this will work. I'd prefer to keep her off drugs.
That is awesome!! I'm sure you did great! Can't wait to hear and I want your cake!!
and he told stories about retouching movie posters. all in all, a good hour and a half with total strangers, one beer and one hell of a view.
I have arrived in Edinburgh!!
I cannot express how much I love that city. It's AMAZING. Go hike up to Arthur's Seat and take some pics, mkay? Then buy yourself some fish & chips to celebrate a successful apartment hunt! My friend and I literally just spent days wandering around the city. It's old in the best possible way.
where were you a few hours ago when i was trying to install office 2010 university and it was flat out refusing to verify me?? though, the tech support led to kind of a funny conversation (mind you that before this convo took place, i had already verified that microsoft does indeed know that grenada and SGU exist, it just wasn't letting me proceed from there) - TS: "please give me the name of your school, the state and city where the school is located, and your school email address" ME: "St. George's University, which is on the island of Grenada (West Indies), email address" TS: "what state is the school in?" ME: *facepalm* "Grenada is an island" TS: "i need the city and state where the university is located" ME: *facepalm harder* "I live in the US, but I go to school in the country of Grenada" good times. she did later go on to fix the problem (but it did take awhile) at least 
...
Again!! Blasphemous!!!! Everyone likes you!!!!
I like you. Who else do you need?!!?!?!
I'll punch em in the throat. Point em out!
