Thanks, but we're pretty much past all that. Bella hasn't had an accident in over a month. She does still like to remove the inserts from shoes, though, so we keep them off the floor. :0 Her latest " trick " is to sit down directly on top of the other (smaller) dog. Her rear quarters pretty much hide the entire dog, so what you see is a large white dog sitting erect, with a brown tail coming out from beneath. It's a good thing he is relatively tolerant. He only gets impatient when she messes with his food. Chuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 I remember hearing about a friend who was hospitalized with no insurance. When he was released he couldn't pay. But he went to the office and told them he would borrow the money and pay half if they would settle for that; otherwise he'd have to file bankruptcy. They took the money.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 I went through a whole decade in my thirties when I had no health insurance, and I was always able to negotiate the doctor's fees down to the lower insurance/medicare rates with no trouble. Many of the supposed health insurance nightmares the politicians and media like to talk about have turned out to be, upon further investigation, mainly lies. Clever propaganda is a powerful tool.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 She sounds like a real jokester. My son's lab shephard mix (died about a 2/-12 years ago) watched everyone sit on the couch and when he got tall enough, sat on the couch like person does with his legs squarely on the floor. My DIL was not happy at that idea and shooed him off. I, as the grandma, thought it was brilliant.LOL <>Roni Immortality exists! It's called knowledge!

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Good for your friend. The fact that they took the money speaks volumes about how much they overcharge patients without insurance. <>Roni Immortality exists! It's called knowledge!

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 They can be so funny and have such diverse personalities. My son's dog reacted to me like a grandchld would to a grandma. He knew I'd sneak him a treat once in a while and just a look would be enough for him to sit up pretty and wait for the treat. He had so many cute things that he did, and was extremely smart. We all miss him terribly. <>Roni Immortality exists! It's called knowledge!
