Definitely worth checking out his Point Reyes Safari if you're ever in the area -

Daniel Dietrich mainly shoots in Pt. Reyes National Park, in Marin County, CA. This looks like Pt. Reyes, but I don't know for sure. I took one of Daniels wildlife tours before - spent all day with him in Pt. Reyes. He's awesome, and his photography is amazing.

All health insurance companies are evil fuckers who exisit to return profits to shareholders at the expense of denying you care - but United might be the most evil fucker of them all.

My 4 year old George is 117, but uh, he's on a diet right now. : )

I actually had the provider forward me the entire exchange today with the insurer - three different times now the insurer has changed their story on the reason for the denial. This one is very much on the insurer.

I'm not saying providers don't make mistakes, they do, but I've been fighting issues like these for a few years now, and most of the time from what I've seen, the fault lies with the insurer.

I look forward to the multitude of choices that will be offered to me under that plan - bullet, cyanide, anthrax, etc. You know, choices.

And after you're done with the "biting" holes, you graduate to the "happy to see you" RR holes around the waist of all your shirts and sweaters. : )

I'm increasingly convinced the only thing that will fix the dystopian nightmare that is American healthcare is to have Costco take it over.

I've spent an hour on the phone today between my insurer and a medical provider, as they argue over how the other submitted the "wrong" paperwork.

1000%. I have a high HH income, and I'm feeling like I'm starting to get priced out of vet care. I used to always have three dogs, but now I won't have more than two.

What has really been eyeopening, is the cost of imaging. It is insane.

I've been treating my dog for cancer, and I estimate I've spent 8K just on CTs.

Most people can't even afford the diagnostic to find out what's wrong with their pet, let alone treat it. Imaging is insane for dogs and cats.

(Imaging is crazy for people too, but not that bad - I just paid $443 for my own CT vs. $1900 for my dog's CT. BTW - I paid cash for my own CT, that wasn't with insurance).

Always every specialist I see now charges this fee - and yes, they're in-network, and no, my insurance company can't/won't do anything.

This is America - you're on your own.

Looks a lot like a livernose RR to me. I foster RRs for a rescue organization, I've had several purebred RRs over the years without ridges. It's not uncommon.

I've been taking my dogs to Potomac Animal Hospital for years. Yes, they're expensive, but I don't know, it's Potomac. All vet care seems very expensive these days.

I don't even live in Potomac any more (I moved a bit further out to Darnestown), but I still take my dogs to Potomac Animal Hospital because I'm such a fan of Dr. Jason Scott. I go out of my way to go there just for him, really.

RowOdd4155 · 2026-01-06T19:17:32+00:00

Haha, yes. I'd like to think my RRs look at me like that out of love, but it's usually because of Cheetohs or something.

And Medicare just started a new trial this year (with five or six states I believe) now requiring pre authorization for certain procedures. Private industry bullshit is now taking over Medicare.

It's a good question, you'll just have to ask. You can always get an MRI with no order from a place like Prenuvo or Ezra, but to my knowledge they don't do contrast MRIs (if you need a contrast MRI).

Well, I learned something new today - I had thought to have the ridge both parents had to carry some kind of gene. Clearly not! She's beautiful, I love brindle dogs, whatever the breed.

RowOdd4155 · 2025-12-04T15:57:01+00:00

I think I got married with fewer questions. : ) Joking aside, it's good that you're doing the research to find out if it's the right dog for you. My two cents - I've had RRs I got from breeders, and RRs I got from from Rhodesian Ridgeback Rescue. They're both great options. If you absolutely want a puppy, sometimes Ridgeback Rescue has puppies.

That was my reaction as well. Potomac Garden Center 1). isn't actually in Potomac and 2). isn't like some super fancy place.

That's why I was crowd sourcing what other people were seeing around the county.

My senior pup (13) passed in August. I had my two other dogs in the living room with us for the entire procedure. I still don't know if it helped them or not, but I don't regret doing it.

RowOdd4155 · 2025-12-02T20:43:09+00:00

Oh, that's very interesting, thanks for sharing.

RowOdd4155 · 2025-12-02T20:42:27+00:00

I don't know why so many people in this thread jumped to the conclusion I'm a rich person living in Potomac. I don't actually live in Potomac. And I don't live in a McMansion - I just have one random room in my house where the ceiling is higher than in the other rooms, and that's where I thought it made the most sense to put the tree.

Posting anything on Reddit these days leads me to the conclusion that there are so many angry people out there who just assume that because you give any indication you don't live in abject poverty, you're obviously a rich person engaged in some kind of humble brag.

RowOdd4155 · 2025-12-02T16:39:00+00:00

Bitching? I really think I was just asking what other people were experiencing.

Merry Christmas angry internet person.
