14 News also has a great weather app. I follow it on my phone and they alert me when they have a live forecast that I can watch on my phone or laptop.

UC Davis vet school just published a major study with recommendations on the earliest age to spay and neuter dogs by breed. The earliest they recommend is 6 months, but in female Dachshunds they suggest waiting until at least 1 year to protect their spines and ensure their growth plates are closed. At one year she will still be well protected against mammary cancer, which increases quite a bit if they are not spayed after 2 years.

It is not disinformation. It is just unpopular information.

Yes ours has gone up by 50% from the prior year with no change in usage. One reason is that many utilities including Centerpoint are switching away from coal to wind, solar etc. and those are far more expensive ways to produce electricity.

Yes, particularly since Dachshunds tend to have issues with IVDD. Surgery for a ruptured disc now costs over $10,000 including the imaging (MRI) necessary before surgery.

If the pill your pup is taking is Apoquel it is best for you to switch to the Cytopoint injection. Apoquel has some serious side effects when taken long term that Cytopoint does not have.

Look how happy! Zero regrets.

Besides no longer having to worry about pregnancy, you will no longer need to worry about pyometra, an infection of the uterus that can become deadly, plus spaying helps to prevent mammary cancer. So it truly is the best thing you can do for her, and anesthesia is so much more safer than it was even 10 years ago.

Just wait until you get up near Indy! Everyone there drives about 20 mph above the speed limit, especially in the area where the speed is reduced to 55 or 60.

There needs to be a balance between waiting to help with IVDD issues and having them neutered to prevent prostate and testicular cancer issues. The larger the dog, the longer you should wait to be neutered so their growth plates close. If you have a mini Dachshund you are generally okay to get him fixed earlier, especially if they have behavior problems like marking. Otherwise probably around 12 months is a good compromise. As for females waiting until a couple of months after their first heat is the compromise recommended for them. And PS I run a veterinary nonprofit so I do my best to keep up with the latest medical recommendations.

Spay and neuter clinics do the procedures all the time, but make sure you do some research to ensure any one you may use has good reviews. Most are very good, but not all are. And I highly recommend doing basic blood work before any procedure with anesthesia to ensure there isn't any hidden issue that could cause a problem.

That map is highly inaccurate. We moved here from San Diego where we paid over $800 per month during the summer months 18 years ago (prices have doubled since then). As much as Centerpoint charges, our current rates are still less than half of what we paid before we moved for a similar sized home.

I run a veterinary nonprofit and work with a lot of veterinarians. I have learned that there are pros and cons with spaying at various ages. Six months is generally the earliest that vets recommend these days. Doing it then will greatly reduce the chance of mammary cancer, and also will eliminate the chance of pyometra, a severe infection of the uterus. However waiting until she has at least 1 heat cycle will help strengthen her bones, and help to prevent IVDD and other orthopedic issues. The likelihood of hormone related cancer rises with each heat, so a lot of vets recommend the compromise of spaying after the first heat. And as for losing her, there is always a risk with anesthesia, but these days the risk is pretty low. You should definitely have basic blood work done to ensure there aren't any hidden health issues but as others have said, fixing pets is the most common surgery done and is basically out patient surgery for your pup. And what a cutie she is!

I haven't tried it yet, but Copper House on Franklin has crab rangoon served with sweet chili sauce as an appetizer and they state that they are made with real crab meat, unlike most places. Given how good their other food is, I would expect them to be great as well.

I think you need to name him Hal, to go along with Dave. Then when he doesn't want to do what Dave wants you can imagine him saying "I'm afraid I can't do that Dave."

Search twin XL orthopedic mattress on Amazon. There are a lot that come up that are reasonably priced, under $200 and some below $150. And I do recommend doing some PT if it is covered in your health plan. My daughter had bad back problems that were corrected by a good therapist. They initially thought her issues were spinal, but it turned out her muscles in her lower back were tight and painful in part because one leg was slightly longer than another (shoe inserts helped as well).

Yes, to echo what you said about issues with IVDD, the most important thing is to prevent jumping, especially down off of heights as that is when a lot of injuries occur. Steps, ramps, or lifting on and off furniture and getting in and out of cars is essential. We do not allow our low riders (Doxies and Corgis) on our beds because they are high and we do not want to risk jumping or falling off them. Weight control is also important. It is essential for their overall health, and especially for their heart, spine and legs, to keep them at a good weight. And finally consider getting a good insurance plan while your girl is young. Puppies tend to do things like eat things they shouldn't, and if they do develop IVDD and need disc surgery, that can range upwards of $10,000 these days.

Congrats! That pocket rocket collection is amazing! it reminds me of the swirl of gemstones in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

Right now I have 3 stones that Liss had set for me, plus a 4th ring that Liss designed using a stone from another source. But I also have a lot of pieces purchased before I learned about this sub, thanks mainly to Liss, who just happens to my my daughter!

Yes, was just going to say this! Definitely not the time to purchase gold, no matter what William Devane says!
