Advice For Pet Owners From An RVT

Advice for pet owners from an RVT

- Please be honest with us. We aren't going to report you to the police because your dog got into your stash. We need to know if your cat's wound happened two days ago or two hours ago. Just tell us what happened.

- VACCINATE YOUR PETS. We don't care about your stances on human vaccines. Your pets NEED theirs. Parvo is one of the worst things a puppy can get, it has a high mortality rate, and it's prevented by vaccinating. Distemper and Rabies are INCURABLE, and ONLY prevented by vaccines. Vaccinate your pets, even if they are indoor only.

- Your dog is not a wolf. It does not need a grain-free diet. Dogs have evolved to digest carbs and grains alongside us. Grain-free diets have been linked to causing a heart condition called DCM (dilated cardiomyopathy) and we are seeing more and more cases of it in younger and younger dogs. My clinic personally had 3 cases in the last two weeks, and it is a horrible thing to see.

- Spay and neuter your pets if you aren't going to breed them. If you are, do NOT breed before they're at least 1.5 years old. Two years is better.

- Besides altering your pet, leave the rest of their body parts alone. Your dog prefers having their ears and tail. Your cat needs their claws. Declawing is cruel and banned in many places, and ear cropping/tail docking isn't far behind.

- STOP LISTENING TO YOUR BREEDER INSTEAD OF YOUR VET.

- Retractable leashes are literally garbage and should be banned.

- Keep your pet on a leash or in a carrier when you bring them to the clinic! Do not carry your angry cat inside in your arms!!

- Cats do not do things out of spite. Your cat does not pee outside of the litter because it's angry. It's probably stressed, or is having urinary issues.

- Stop being rude to the vet staff. We have one of the highest suicide rates of any profession, and it's only getting worse. We have enough to deal with without you reaming us out because Fluffy needs their nails trimmed TODAY and we're booked up for 3 weeks.

- Stop scruffing your cats. Its an outdated form of restraint and it is physically painful.

- Train your dogs. Bad behaviours are 90% boredom and bad habits. Spend time with your dogs.

- Again. Please be nice to the vet staff. We're doing our best to help your pets. We're overworked, exhausted, underpaid and underappreciated. We are tired. Be gentle and be kind.

- IF YOUR PET BITES, JUST TELL ME IT DOES. I WILL NOT JUDGE YOU. I JUST WANT TO NOT GET BIT.

Can we PLEASE get a special ep of "Stupid Deaths" on Humphrey's death? I don't care if it's a vid, an animation, even a puppet show, just please! I need to see this!

Imagine how differently the fandom would react to Snape’s Worst Memory if his and Lily‘s positions were reversed. Everyone would vilify him if his lips twitched as if to smile when Lily’s bare legs were exposed or if Sev had been the one to say, “Leave her alone,” but had a full convo with Mulciber (our James Potter stand in) instead of using his wand against whoever had strung her upside down in the air. But those are things Lily does and she’s the fandom angel. Is it gender bias? Sexism? The double standards are gross.

(How does it end? Snape goes on to marry “Mulciber“ and they become soul mate goals in the HP fandom?)

No mother, I’m not being grubby, I’m just going for the beetlejuice aesthetic

(First time using that word so hopefully i used it right!)

It’s 2020 and it’s a crime that there is little to no Lunarry fan art

Okay I’m gonna rant for a second about something I love and that thing I love is Mortal Engines

It absolutely flopped at the box office and I always see people complaining about how the premise (the traction cities) doesn’t make sense, etc. etc. and first off, yeah, the movie doesn’t explain it as well as the books do, that’s fair, but SERIOUSLY? People are willing to suspend belief for all the shit that Marvel and DC do (plus every other superhero movie ever) and enjoy those films, among countless others that have outlandish concepts with little to no explanation, but for some reason people just. Refuse to suspend belief for Mortal Engines long enough to appreciate it.

Because there is so fucking much to appreciate! The world-building is incredible, obviously (even more so in the books). But the themes. Mortal Engines is a fucking commentary on imperialism and colonialism and I don’t understand how people don’t see that?? They don’t see London, a city dominated by a wealthy white elite, literally devouring lower-class cities and not see that? They don’t see London attacking Shan Guo, an alliance of predominantly people of color, and see that? They don’t see Valentine blaming Shan Guo for London not having enough resources and see how it’s a deliberate depiction of racism and scapegoating by a colonial power?

All of these things are visible in the movie. It’s even more apparent in the books (go read the books), but seriously, there is enough of it in the movie to be easily recognizable and it just blows my mind that people fixate so much on how the concept is unrealistic instead of recognizing what an incredible metaphor Reeve built in his tetralogy.

Don’t get me wrong, the movie has plenty of flaws, including lots of changes from the book that I strongly disagree with! But I just wish people would move past their refusal to suspend disbelief long enough to recognize that there’s a lot of really good stuff happening in that film.

Cute idea: Amy creating personal mugs for all the egos.

Can someone explain to me when the marauders stan started getting so delusional, at what point did they create their alternate reality? I have seen that they ship James and regulus, dorcas and lily... but they see it as canon and I am like ¿? Do they know that regulus and dorcas are barely mentioned?

At what point would the marauders have female friends if they were a very selective and closed group, it was noticeable that they were a very selective group and mainly spent time with each other, especially Sirius and James.

They were privileged white boys (except by Remus) who clearly didn't care about others and played pranks on everyone because its funny, James used to spells anyone for fun in the hallways, why would they be interested in being feminists or gay rights activists?.

And at the moment snape bullyng the marauders with his death eaters besties?

It doesn't make sense

When Minogue shows up on BBC Ghosts

Alison: Kylie!?

Captain: Yes, Alison?

Alison: No, I mean her. Wait, your name is Kylie?

As Mum and Dad’s ship was known as the SS Pride & Prejudice on the (much missed by me) FictionAlley (so much parent stuff, too young to even know to screenshot..) I would love to see them in a Regency AU or a P&P AU, I would do it myself but I know nothing of the era or how to go about it without blatantly copying the book or others fanfics.

I’ve looked for fanart but there’s nothing beyond the common pairs and while I ship some of them, it’s just not helping.

Just needed to put out a little rant here, that’s it from me. Maybe someday…

I JUST WANT MY PARENTS TO BE TOGETHER IN EVERY UNIVERSE!!
