Sorry to come off as defensive in the above post. This is an issue dear to my heart since I work with it every day. Cait-I mostly treat animals with cancer, paralysis, arthritis, chronic pain, kidney disease, strokes, and inflammatory bowel disease. I wish I could help with behavior issues but unless it is a change with age, such as old dog anxiety, usually acupuncture will not touch the super hyper ones. We do have some great behaviorists in West Seattle.

Lenamegan – I think that’s really awesome. Acupuncture did wonders for me and it takes a real animal lover to get acupuncture, like it, and then think to themselves “I want to share this with my pet.” Seriously – I think that’s awesome. What kind of things do you treat specifically? I have an ill behaved crazy hyper lab/aussie mix. Wanna take a shot at him? I’ll have your medal of valor waiting :)

Maybe it’s just living in the West Seattle equivalent of the ghetto that has heightened my spidey sense for danger. Honestly there are well kept houses that I won’t go in if I get bad vibes.

Listen to your vibes, folks. And throw the doggie a biscuit next time you see him.

I set up this site so that people who have a special bond with their animals have somewhere to go where they do not feel alone. I work mainly with hospice and very sick animals and it is amazing some of the cruelty their animal caregivers get from friends, family and co-workers. Including comments like it’s only a dog, isn’t it cheaper to buy a new one. This is very loved member of their family. Before judging please realize that those who care so deeply about animals are amazing people with an incredible capacity for love and sharing. So they may spend their money on animal acupuncture or other care that you see as ridiculous. Somehow that seems a better use of money than the commercialism that is rampant in our society. When you realize how much love a dog, cat or other companion animal can give, how much is unconditional love worth to you?

Veterinary acupuncturists in this area have a great enough demand that many of us spend most of the year not accepting new patients. I have only meet one animal so far that would not accept my treatments. Animals know when you are trying to help. I know many of you will see this is crazy but I would not have clients if people did not love their animals and if the acupuncture did not work. Please imagine how you would feel if some of the comments above were made about people.

Please instead of judging people, ask questions. If we all approached this world with wonder and curiosity imagine what it would be:-)

Never will understand why people would go to a strip club in Washington state. A- they’re not nude, and B – you can’t drink alcohol and C- they charge you $6.00 for a soda? (Have not actually been to one in WA – only in Oregon. Had some alcoholic drinks. It was ok….but I can’t imagine going there sober and paying $6.00 for a soda.)

It will remain like this as long as Colacurcio (or what ever his name is) keeps greasing the palms of politicians. See, both he and his son are unable to get liquor licenses…so as long as the law remains in effect of no booze in the strip clubs, he can keep operating. he and his son are like the sleaze mafia.

my cat won’t even let me get the boogers from her eyes, let alone prick her with acupuncture needles! :P

[Cait]

Maybe acupuncture makes them taste better – if massages work for cows! (Kobe beef, ya’ll.)

On a Porcupine it is…. :)

accupuncture on animals?!? this is a joke right??

Try updating your JAVA…it’s usually the culprit.

It’s not just this one apartment building. It’s the vast majority of Seattlites.

Walking the dog has been an adventure the last few days. We typically walk about 1 – 1.5 miles every morning. Along our usual route, I counted two other homes (besides my own) that had bothered to clear their sidewalks or put down sand. And I almost ended up on my butt more than once. For the most part, walking on the parking strips was safer.

But this is just the attitude here. On Sunday, when I was clearing the sidewalks, I had two people walk by and dismiss my efforts. One lady even said “Why bother? It’s just going to melt off in a few days. You’re just wasting your time.” I’ve encountered this attitude in other years when, once again, I was one of the few people who bothered to shovel the sidewalks.

On Sunday morning, with the cold weather and powder snow, all it took was a broom. Not a shovel. Not salt. No special equipment or supplies. Just a broom. It’s not that difficult.

And I understand that there are some people who are not physically capable of clearing their own walks. But really… 2 homes out of the 50+ I walked past? Are 96% of all Seattlites physically incapable? Do they not understand insurance liability? Or the law? Or common sense?

OK. Enough of my rant.

Complain to SDOT.

It might work but who knows. I have not dealt with an SDOT employee who could think their way out of a wet paper bag or gives a rats patoot about the safety of pedestrians, but I am sure I have not met all of them.

section 15.48.010 of the Seattle Municipal Code:

It is the responsibility of the owner or occupant of private property to remove snow and ice on the sidewalks abutting his or her property in a timely manner and, if practical, prevent its becoming or remaining in an icy, ridged, uneven or humped condition or in a condition which is potentially hazardous to users of the public sidewalks.

“The penalty for non-compliance is $250 for the first citation and up to $500 for subsequent citations.”

— Seattle Department of Transportation spokesman Rick Sheridan

While most people have been good about de-icing, the sidewalk along SW Alaska adajent to the Siberay Apts has a section of solid ice that is impossible to circumnavigate. Contacted the property managers who have done nothing! Please be careful on the section closes to the alley – water run off has frozen into a sheet of solid ice.

I hate to admit it but I have a Rainbow. You know, that one you see at the home show. However, I love it. It takes animal hair from the furniture, the carpets, the drapes, everything. Plus, I have had no flea problems since I got it, they get sucked up!

It sucks into a water reservoir so there is no smell released, no dust released, no pollen released. There is no smell unless you add it to the water – cinnamon, whatever.

It’s also a wet vac so you can mop the floors and then dry them. I have a carpet cleaning attachment too.

OK. So they are ridiculously expensive. I’ve had mine for about twenty years. In that time I have never needed any servicing at all. Hmmmm. . . Clean my own carpets and furniture, no fleas, wet and dry vac, also can dust, be a blower, can be run to clean the air of pollen or dust or smells. . . I think I got my money’s worth!!

That 3M Fur Fighter is a welcome addition to my war on cat fur. While the pet hair sponge still works better on my area rugs (IMO), the 3M Fur Fighter is far superior to the pet hair roller on clothing.

This is ridiculous, where the hell are my socks???

I think they might be downstairs. But with all this arctic weather how can I reach them? Maybe I should just stay bare foot?

I was thinking maybe I could use the stairs but they maybe still slippy from the dog. The dog slipped earlier and she has 4×4 (four leg drive)….but no chains. The kid slipped earlier too, but I put that down to the peppermint schnapps.

I’d thought of going out onto the back deck and walking around to the front of the house, through the front door …..but maybe it hasn’t been sanded yet, despite all the property tax I pay!!!

I mean there’s nothing on King5 about my yard so what the hell am I gonna do?? The city has abandoned me,the president(both of them)have abandoned me arghhhhhhhhhh.

I mean am I supposed to grow a pair down below and think for myself?

ps I’m trying to pry my tongue away from my cheek (it’s stuck too but that’s another story)

pps send more peppermint schnapps,the kid will be back sooooooon

Reminds me of Jim Cantore from the Weather Channel – they used to send him to the worst spots in the country where anyone in their right mind would’ve evacuated. I used to joke that if you ever were out and about and saw Jim Cantore in your neighborhood, you should start running out of town!

a new battery shouldn’t be freezing up… so if you have a newer battery causing you those kinds of problems, it’s probably a good idea to have the charging system checked out.

unless. of course.. you left a light on:)

i had a car with an engine warmer when i was in minnesota. bought it in bimidji where they are standard:)

as for ice crystals in the gas… i just fill with premium if i know the weather is going to be really cold since the higher octane usually takes care of the problem.

remember when we had carburetors and you kept a can of high octane in the trunk to spray in the carburetor to start it? now that was fun…

The kid’s father dangled his cigarette too close once.. luckily all he got was good fright (i was happily married to him at the time) but it was a pretty spectacular fireball ;~>

Engines arent’ the same any more… Now i look under the hood and wonder where i check the oil:)

Jim Foreman…aka Parka Boy…aka Danger Jim – field reporter extraordinaire for King5. Known for his propensity for reporting from the coldest, wettest, most dangerous, etc conditions and locations, usually sporting a large parka with a faux-fur hood and being extra-super dramatic about everything, blowing weather conditions WAY out of proportion.

Kayleigh2…

if you must kill.. you should honor what you kill.. and that includes using all of it..

Strained bacon grease from a well raised home cured pig makes great soap… and candles too…

mellaw…janS…and peaches…

THANK YOU! i had forgotten what a little bacon grease can do to greens…

cook a couple of strips of bacon in a big pan.. remove the bacon and quickly cook up spinach in the grease .. (i suspect with this bacon.. you won’t need more than one strip…)

then add the crumbled bacon to the spinach and some sliced almonds and a touch of salt…

I am sorry Kayleigh, but there is something that bacon does to vegetables that is simply sinful:)
