No. I don't ask that either. I am simply trying to say that
generally, IMO, veterinarians do not have that much personal
information on their clients.


My first thought was that my vets would not be a great source of
information.

From my file they would be able to report that I pay my bills, that my dogs
are seen annually, that my dogs are on PM, that my dogs are speutered, that
my dogs are reasonable weights, that my dogs are sometimes taken in when I
am concerned about something (that so far has been nothing important) and
that my dogs have not been seen for anything that indicated the slightest
neglect on my part.

I wouldn't bet that they would actually remember me or my dogs unless we had
been in recently. But I guess the above is still a lot of important
information.


Yes, it is. But it's not enough.

You know, I know at least one person who tells potential adopters that
if she finds the house utterly spotless, they're probably not getting a

dog from her. She said that she knows of no one who is OCD about having

their home dirt and hair free (to say nothing of the occasional vomit
and diarrhea) who would make a good dog person. FWIW, I think that she

was only half kidding, although it certainly seemed to put the potential

adopters at ease.


Sorry Suja, but I do keep a neat clean home, and I am a great dog person.

I like to house clean, so even though I have no problemo with dogs and
fishermen and little kids coming an making a mess,I am up at 5 and by 6 I am
vacuuming or washing floors.

I will say though that I keep VERY STINKY WET DOG SMELL VEHICLES ; )

One of the HVs I did, I walked in, and when asked whether I'd like to
see the house, told them that the point of the visit was to get to know

them and not to inspect the house. The guy blurted out 'You mean there

was no need for me to shove everything in the closet?' We had a good
laugh about that.
