Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Find another puppy day care and sue the living daylights out of the one that refused your dog.
ha! I would like to meet the lawyer who would take that case!
Well those places make a ton of money. You almost pay as much as kiddie daycare.
I haven't paid for kiddie day care in many years, but puppy camp is quite pricey. But we just don't want to do it any more. You know, when I was a little girl, a dog was just a dog. No one put clothes on their dog or called themselves dog mom, or took their dog to doggy day care for enrichment. Your dog got shots as a puppy and thereafter a minimal number of times. Now they want to inject the pets with crap that will make them sick, so then we can spend money on the "cures." There's even a dog flu shot. It's ridiculous, so today we said we are done. Like I wrote earlier, if not us then who? if not now, then when?
I agree, in the past 3 years I have spent thousands of dollars on my geriatric babies. They have been healthy for the majority of their lives, now they are just old. They do well for 16,15 and 13. It’s sad that the vets charge so much because most people cannot afford to pay to feed decent food to their animals much less medical expenses. I have found ACV to work wonders on my dogs arthritic joints.
