My little katie kept me up last night vomiting. It was an hour of almost bringing her to the ER but she was not lethargic or showing signs of trauma, its just seemed like an upset belly.
I came to the conclusion, the food i feed her, although very good, its still to rich if she eats to much and she did last night. This i believe cause a chronic pancratitis episode. I have experienced this with a dog that had cushings disease. You have to absolutley be careful what you feed your dogs. Katie is a beagle and just a little piggy and if henry doesn't eat fast enough she steals it.
If she eats small quantities of this food she is fine , but sometimes she will woof down Henry's food and its to much for her, I am wondering if we should change her food. They love it, i use Orijen/ senior.

News Alert-Suffolk County SPCA Grusome Discovery in Selden, NY

SUFFOLK COUNTY SPCA MAKES GRUSOME DISCOVERY
AT SELDEN HOME
In what was described as a scene from a horror movie, Suffolk County SPCA Detectives, yesterday, un-earthed the bodies of 20 dead animals, presumed to be dogs, from the back yard of a Selden home.
Roy Gross, Chief of the Suffolk County SPCA, said that Suffolk County SPCA Agents, assisted by members of the Selden Fire Department, dug up the carcasses at 18 Awixa Place, Selden. "The sickening smell was sometimes overpowering to our officers and the firefighters," Gross said, who were working under a massive lighting system set up by the fire department and officers from Suffolk County Police Emergency Services.
Suffolk County SPCA officers were first at the house Thursday night after receiving a tip from the group Rescue Ink, and removed five dogs, one cat, a hamster and a parakeet. The live animals, some severely neglected, were living in small cages with feces and urine with no food or water. Sharon McDonough (photo above), of 18 Awixa Place, was charged with six counts of Animal Cruelty. Chief Gross said the investigation is continuing and further charges may be considered after a necropsy is performed on the dead animals.

A funny Letter from Someone:
Dear Dogs and Cats:
The dishes with the paw prints are yours and contain your food.. The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Placing a paw print in the middle of my plate and food does not stake a claim for it becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest.
The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack. Racing me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn't help because I fall faster than you can run.
I cannot buy anything bigger than a king sized bed. I am very sorry about this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your comfort, however.. Dogs and cats can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other, stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out on the other end to maximize space is nothing but sarcasm.
For the last time, there is no secret exit from the bathroom! If, by some miracle, I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, meow, try to turn the knob or get your paw under the edge in an attempt to open the door. I must exit through the same door I entered. Also, I have been using the bathroom for years - canine/feline attendance is not required.
The proper order for kissing is: Kiss me first, then go smell the other dog or cat's butt. I cannot stress this enough.
Finally, in fairness, dear pets, I have posted the following message on the front door:
TO ALL NON-PET OWNERS WHO VISIT AND LIKE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT OUR PETS:
(1) They live here. You don't.
(2) If you don't want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture. That's why they call it 'fur'-niture.
(3) I like my pets a lot better than I like most people..
(4) To you, they are animals. To me, they are adopted sons/daughters who are short, hairy, walk on all fours and don't speak clearly.
Remember, dogs and cats are better than kids because they:
(1) eat less,
(2) don't ask for money all the time,
(3) are easier to train,
(4) normally come when called,
(5) never ask to drive the car,
(6) don't smoke or drink,
(7) don't want to wear your clothes,
(8) don't have to buy the latest fashions,
(9) don't need a gazillion dollars for college and
(10) if they get pregnant, you can sell their children...

Tip for flea preventative purchasing
We are excited about blogging. Now i can take all the information I learn from others and tips and tricks I have learned a pass it onto a wider audience. This is not legal advice, but tips and tricks that professionals have taught me over the years, that clients may not be aware of.
Tip of the Day: When purchasing Frontline flea and tick preventative. Did you know that the back should say "Made In France"? Do you know why? Because it is know to be that the lots that come from Canada or US are diluted and may not work as well. This includes alot of the discount supply stores you may purchase from.
Not sure if this is true? Just ask any Veternarian
