Of course they charge more for after hours but nice to know our pets can have emergency care just as fast as humans.Cheapchickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15158208632054014311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2302691153455448442.post-20896745182515066622015-06-30T14:45:08.743-07:002015-06-30T14:45:08.743-07:00Busy week indeed.

Not only do our girls swell up, their throats start to close. We have to drive to a vet to get an adrenaline shot PRONTO. Once a vet met us halfway and injected Caeli on the side of the road. It was very scary.Contessa https://www.blogger.com/profile/01482663305121297253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2302691153455448442.post-66985625974977853972015-06-30T09:57:20.905-07:002015-06-30T09:57:20.905-07:00That sucks - government overspending gets me crazy...That sucks - government overspending gets me crazy.

I too, don't mind the higher taxes as long as its for a good cause. Most of the time, the village here overspends and then just ups our taxes. They wanted to put in a swim-complex and bought some really expensive land only to decide that they would just redo the old pool for 2 million and then spent 16 million on it. sigh.Sonya Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01985227040902078422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2302691153455448442.post-84072309825858371012015-06-30T07:50:09.745-07:002015-06-30T07:50:09.745-07:00We don't have Zyrtek in Canada although I beli...We don't have Zyrtek in Canada although I believe it is called Reactine here.

That being said, we use Kapersky (paid) and we also use a free antivirus called Superantispyware (free edition). That free program saved my butt a few years ago by removing a particularly nasty virus that had gotten by my antivirus software (norton). With the two on all computers we have been virus free for 3 years now.
