Topic: Noisy Nights
Anyone else notice how the trains have been extra noisy in the nights lately. Lot’s of loud whistle’s, or whatever they are called. But living in Admiral area they are louder than normal.
Also, this a.m. Nucor was very loud with dropping steel sounds, around 6:00 a.m.
Noisy ? I thought this was the silent night time of year :)
Has anyone (including the Seattle Department of Transportation) noticed that the elevated roadway is crumbling. Rebar visible, cracks widening, multiple holes that don’t hold a patch. It will require months of shutting down eastbound lanes once the City decides it’s unsafe. That leaves West Marginal with one lane the only thoroughfare to 1st south bridge and on to I-5. It’s not like it just happened it was happening during the bridge repair that closed the highway for months. Seems the City could have fixed both while traffic was diverted?
Thank you for providing us with the great reporting and keeping our community informed. Happy Holidays to all of you and best wishes for health and happiness into the New Year! We appreciate you and all you do.
Topic: RIP THE LODGE SPORTS GRILLE
Went for dinner at the THE LODGE SPORTS GRILLE in the Alaskan junction tonight. They told us they are closing at the end of December. Makes me sad. They have great food and a full bar and lots of beer on tap. Plus sports on multiple TV’s. Not sure why it never caught on. It was never more than 1/3 full, even on a Friday night.

Topic: Hometown Holiday?
Christmas and all of the other holidays were in the past a homecoming, a main street celebration, a family and old friends time and experience full of comfort and food for the soul. Unfortunately, it has become nothing more than a soulless internet holiday, taken over by the usual soulless economic dictators. Simple gifting and family togetherness is not what these dictators want for you. They want your soul. Holiday insecurities and mental illnesses did not exist before the takeover of our winter traditions.

By believing this asking Jesus to forgive your sins (all have sinned) then John 14 is yours to use as often as you like. Answers to your prayers may come instantly or over time, and finally once Jesus returns and takes you to Heaven, unanswered prayers will be answered.
To help you through the remaining time before he Returns Jesus baptizes with the Holy Spirit which gives you power to live in this world. Accepting Jesus meaning he comes inside you to live with you and promises you:

-URBAN ANIMAL of WHITE CENTER-
~CAUTION!
*NOT BOARD CERTIFIED*
Last Christmas I had to put Blue Down.
It still haunts me. He wasn’t even 4 years old.
Not Board Certified-
I didn’t even know that was a thing, until they used it as their excuse for botched care.
Our beloved dog (who stopped walking on his rear leg) would still be alive, if I had not trusted Urban Animal. Rather than do standard testing (x-rays under anesthesia) to find out what was wrong with our amazing 3 1/2 year-old Blue Nose pit bull. The Dr./Surgeon, guessed and assumed he tore his cruciate ligament. Never even considered it could be cancer. This sent Blue down the wrong path to certain death. After bending his leg- Dr. said “yep- he tore his cruciate ligament”. We need to do TPLO surgery. Cancer was never mentioned or even considered. Managements excuse for misdiagnosing and performing useless surgery was- “we are not board certified”.
By the time it was found out my dog had Osteosarcoma bone cancer, and not a torn ligament- it was too late. Tumors had completely spread through his body, after they screwed metal plates around and into the tumor.
Urban Animal did take $4000 on the failed TPLO surgery. Failed to do a biopsy at the time they found out they were actually doing the wrong treatment. Then my dog had to have the leg amputated ($2000) after they performed the wrong surgery (steel implant and screws)- which caused the tumor in his knee to grow to the size of a baseball. Before the amputation they did decide to finally do a biopsy ($700) which their joke of lab failed to even look at the results. They told me “we’re having lots of problems with this lab”.
Blue was put under anesthesia three times, twice for nothing.
Urban Animal did 86 me, after I schooled them on how to properly diagnose and carry out veterinary care for this condition.
Osteosarcoma is common in young and older dogs. The causes are unknown.
I looked into Fido care, and had acupuncture done for blue. Completely changed his diet. Went on all kinds of healthy supplements, RSO and CBD. Chemo ended up not being an option.
He was too far gone.
Blue did receive the Yale vaccine.
It was too late for it to help.
I even rented an oxygen machine for Blue.
I desperately tried to save my dog!
We were just sent down the wrong path, due to ignorant guessing.
All the oncologists, veterinarians and specialists I dealt with after leaving U.A. were great. Very knowledgeable, caring and compassionate. When I finally had to put Blue down- They sent us cards and a nice stone memorial with Blue’s name on it. Urban Animal didn’t care at all. Didn’t send any condolences or email response. When Urban Animal did fail on Blues care- They told me “we learned a lot from this, and are reviewing everything ”.
A horrible, 4 month, slow death process…
Sure, they’ll smile, and take your money- just be very careful.
Healing from the loss of Blue was/is extremely painful and difficult- even a year later.
None of this will bring Blue back to us.
My only intention is to pass this message to other people, who love their pets. I’m not saying everything Urban Animal does is awful. They just really messed up this case- and they know it.
Carrying out research. before trusting someone you don’t know is vital.
Also- standing in line, outside to make an appointment and then return, is a joke.
If people are going to judge and criticize- please find something else to do. I am creating awareness, to use caution, to do research.
You have to do your due diligence.
This post is worth it- if I can save just one dog or cat from unnecessary treatment.
✌🏻
