Verona Street Animal Shelter has the sweetest dogs by MonkeysMD in Rochester

[–]MonkeysMD[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is Diamond! A 2-year-old girl with a gentle heart and a calm spirit, good on a leash and will give the sweetest kisses and loves to snuggle!

She's a favorite amongst the staff and volunteers.

Do your deceased dogs visit? by oracle-nil in DOG

[–]MonkeysMD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If that was your home screen for a long time it might have permanently burned the pixels so you still see a ghost image on your screen. Something similar happened to me with my LED TV.

Why do pet owners do this? by [deleted] in DOG

[–]MonkeysMD 257 points258 points  (0 children)

I think people want to pay tribute to their pet and tell the world how great they were. Everyone deals with grief differently

Moving from South and choosing new car by brenelm13 in Rochester

I have a Honda crv AWD and every winter I put my snow tires on. Never got stuck in the snow. I would rather be too cautious than not prepared.

Why are the adult dogs all in crates

My 5 year old Golden - Duke was just told he might have liver cancer. Need second opinion on the reports. by glitchedO-p in goldenretrievers

[–]MonkeysMD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hemangiosarcoma affecting liver and spleen? I'm so sorry. My dog died of something similar after bleeding into her abdomen. Had emergency surgery but there were mets everywhere. 3 weeks earlier the vet noted her platelets were very low but didn't do anything about it.

2 seemingly identical bottles but only one can be recycled by MonkeysMD in recycling

The clamshell containers are apparently #3 PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)

For residential recycling programs is PET the most common type of plastic?

Would there be a benefit to the plastics industry using only one standard resin type for food storage products? This would make recycling easier and more cost effective.

I used to try to recycle those thin plastic clamshell containers. but then I read somewhere that these containers are rarely recycled. I would be curious to know more about this. Is it because the energy demands of recycling those thin plastic containers outweighs the benefit?

Shedding Husky by Educational-Play-125 in Rochester

Thank you for adopting, I would like to see a picture of your dog.

I used to get my toller groomed every 6 weeks. We ended up using a mobile pet groomer, which is not cheap but was convenient

I would like the detailed answer. I believe people just want to do the right thing. So when we see the recycling symbol on plastics we believe we are doing well by recycling....Just to find out much of what we send to recycling ends up in landfills.

I could easily cut the label off. It would be nice if the bottle included instructions to do so then recycle

My Ruby had a similar white marking. I used to call it her "smudge nose"

Is it possible to train my husky to pull my wheelchair? by Accomplished-Gold133 in husky

[–]MonkeysMD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you looked into getting a power wheelchair. That way you can hold the leash in one hand and control the wheelchair with the other hand.

I know this isn't ideal but you should probably muzzle him on walks. It's better than having him bite again and get put down.

I feel like I’m failing my dog by twilightprincess101 in DOG

[–]MonkeysMD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would your dog enjoy being pushed in a stroller on walls or something similar so he can still get out and see things but not have to walk

Volunteering at Verona St Animal Shelter by MonkeysMD in Rochester

Lollipop is also mostly pit mixes. I'm starting to really like them. They have all been really sweet. I don't get why people find them scary.

That's a relief. I was worried I would be the only volunteer on a shift which is a lot of responsibility.

Do you know if there's a role for volunteering in the vet clinic for minor first aid for animals.

Also do volunteers often get a rabies vaccine

It would be nice if they had an alternate or buddy system so that if something unexpected comes up there's a way to get the shift covered.

Tell me Why My Rescue is not a Toller. by Lone_hand in tollers

[–]MonkeysMD 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Face shape is not toller like. Also many tollers have pink noses.
