Well, this is a record.

I've been back on the dog newsgroups for all of two days, and someone
has already broken my brand new Irony Meter.

Good thing MACs come with a spare.

And you can run one in the dashboard and one on the desktop
and get all kinds of different versions. And here's hoping
your "this person is an idiot" meter goes to 11, because,
well, that person's an idiot. A dangerous idiot. An idiot
I'm thinking of reporting to her ISP for practicing
veterinary medicine without a license (she provides
diagnoses and "prescribes" treatments).

I've noticed this. From her own posts even. Didn't take any one else's
opinion into account. Just her own links, notions and willingness to
present unproven theory (and some of ot dangerous, at that) as factually
based, "safe" medical advice.

I keep hearing a reference to a dog being blinded. Anyone have a link?

Also, did I see that her dog just got impacted and died not too long ago?

Does she not realize that there are people here who have had similar
things happen with raw bones (which I am not even against)?

How many of her dogs have lived out their natural lives without
nutritionally based disaster striking them down?

Yikes.

I can't imagine her admitting that here after her history. She refuses to
believe raw bones can be dangerous.

A gift for understatement.

So how's life with a small dog?

It's already been done, many times.

Yes, like all sorts of other quack remedies. That people fall for
them over and over and over doesn't make them magically work, nor
does it mean that they are necessarily safe.

Try doing a little *real* research just once. You'd be amazed. If
you had you'd know it isn't being reckless at all.

I have. That's why I think you are behaving recklessly in
recommending such a treatment.

Based on all your experience with oleander soup I imagine...
ROFLOL!

I've never taken hemlock, either, but I'm pretty sure it's toxic.

There are many alternative treatments for cancer out there.

I'm sure there are. I'm also sure that they run the gamut from
helpful to benign but useless to downright deadly. I'm not a fool,
though, so if I had cancer, I wouldn't start ingesting a bunch of
potentially harmful crap just because some dangerous kook on the
interwebs says I should.

In checking for the thread ("Another sad story of a dog treat gone
bad"), I realize that it MIGHT not have been her dog. Though, because
she provided zero citations, and no referencing its impossible to say
that it wasn't. I mean, it's written in the first person!

In any case, she's sending out grave warnings about impaction by BB
sized particles from a dog treat....but says raw bones are good for
EVERY dog?

Makes no sense to me. Perhaps she'll opt to clarify this point.

Great.
I no longer have to take a Big Giant Step to get into the bathroom.

But the downside is that its amazing how a 20 pounder can hog an entire
queen sized bed. I think there should be entire fields of physics
devoted to this very phenomenon.

How are the pooches? Still sledding? I still think about making you
house me and take me out for some dog sledding one of these days :-)

Good luck finding one. There was no blind dog. It's just an attempt at
flaming me.

Nope, that didn't happen either. I can see you don't keep track well do you?

I realize some people have dogs that get things stuck in their digestive
system. Sometimes it's bones, sometimes it's socks, sometimes dogs choke
on kibble. What's your point?

nutritionally based disaster striking them down?


All of them. One died of a heart problem caused by vaccinations. Other
than that they lived to old ages.

You are reading fairy tales from the loonies in here who can't otherwise
make me look bad.

She's a serial plagiarist, as well - there's very little in
what she's posted that's original text (the ad hominem
posts, but that's about it), but she frequently fails to
acknowledge the actual author, or sometimes she acknowledges
someone other than the author.
