He was trembling, prostrate, sick, and unable to crawl to a handful of carefully placed Diamond premium shelled walnuts. Poor guy. After I called the Humane Society, a specialist armed with gloves and a crate arrived within 30 minutes. Thirty minutes! I only hope 911 works as expeditiously. Soon my squirrel was whisked off to Second Chances, a nearby animal rehab center. Since nothing happens in the wilds of suburbia – and I’m always interested in painting myself in a positive light – I shared my Dr. Doolittle delusions of grandeur far and wide. One neighbor’s suspicious response: “Well, I hope that doesn’t have anything to do with us,” she said, going on to explain how her husband had laid out some poison for the critters ne...

The kittens’ mothers are getting a little tired of their offspring though.  They want to be let out of their room to roam the house, and it’s harder to get them to go back in there than it was a couple of days ago. I’d like to encourage those seeking companion animals to look for a local animal rescue group from which to adopt. They usually vet the animals and make sure they’re suitable for a particular situation.  In my case, I now know that the mother cats are completely accepting of other cats and dogs, and are not at all aggressive. They like children, too. None of the cats flinched when I tu... beth's myeloma blog blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2576832 Mon, 06 Jul 2009 18:55:00 +0100 2576832 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=764199&cid=t_135357_87_f&fid=34867&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thediabetesblog.com%2F2007%2F07%2F28%2Fsally-the-fabulous-hypo-detecting-dog%2F Filed under: Type 1, Research, Support, Complications, PersonalitiesOn the 18th of July I blogged about a study that aims to explain how dogs are able to detect approaching hypoglycemic episodes in diabetic humans. Well, reader Margaret from Cumbria, in the UK, posted a comment about her dog, Sally, who is one of these amazing hypo-detecting dogs. I asked Margaret to tell us more and she obliged. Here is Sally's story:Sally is a thirteen and a half-year-old Border Collie mix who lives with human "parents" Margaret and Alan, and canine buddy Poppy, who is a Cocker Spaniel. That's Sally (right) and Poppy (left) in the picture. Margaret and Alan adopted Sally from an animal shelter when she was just a tiny pup. Little did they know that Sally came complete with a special gift: she knows when ... The Diabetes Blog blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=764199 Sat, 28 Jul 2007 04:00:00 +0100 764199
