    Tipping the tech at the vet's office?

    My dog recently started going to the vet every week for intravenous fluids. Do you guys think it would it be politically correct to give a Christmas tip to the one technician who usually does the procedure? He's been really nice to my dog. Thanks.

    What browser do you use?

    I used to use Firefox for everything. But recently some work-related websites have been created that work best on Google Chrome, and now that I have downloaded it, I LOVE it. It's so much faster. I have no idea why that would be, but it is!

    Sorry to be gross but . . .

    my dog's stools have been weird for the past several days. They're really long and kind of get stuck about half-way out of his butt. Sorry, but I could NOT think of a more delicate way to put that. He's 13. I haven't changed anything about his diet lately.
