A bit of a rant from Mom Kim -- REALLY PEOPLE?

Earlier this morning, The Diva Shasta needed to 

go to the vet for a routine kennel cough vaccine 

that she was due for - no problem there.  The 

problem happened while we were waiting for my 

sister to pick us up AFTER our appointment.  Now I 
don't know nor do I care why the woman had the  

dog, a very dirty and terribly ratty looking  

Westie - I know at least WITHOUT a leash and 

possibly A COLLAR - in the vet's office.  All I 

do know is that while me and The Diva Shasta were 

out in the waiting room and the other dog was in 

the exam room - the door to the exam room opened 

and out rushed the Westie.  What happened next is still somewhat of a blur (now PLEASE hear me - I am NOT trying to bash Westies, they are terrific dogs and my sister has owned Westies for 30 years - however it is irresponsible OWNERS that I bash but NOT the dog)

FIRST - WE ARE ALL FINE!

However if our disgruntled vet had not

intervened, then The Diva Shasta might have had 

to have more then just a kennel cough vaccine -

the Westie went straight for the back of her 

neck.  I could hear our vet say that he couldn't 

figure out why people brought their dogs in 

WITHOUT a leash (I can't either)  Meanwhile, a 

man had also brought in his young puppy 

definitely WITHOUT a leash or collar - 

REALLY PEOPLE!

It is not a large practice or office - either dog 

or puppy could escape at any given moment.  I KNOW

my dogs - they DO NOT go anywhere without their 

collar, harness AND leash except our backyard 

which is fenced and I am there at any given 

moment.  

Now I may have made some people angry with me-

but this is our blog and I am expressing MY

opinion.  But to avoid any possible incidences and

attacks, then leash your dog when out in public-

that's all I ask.  A leash doesn't cost a lot-

they cost a lot less than a vet visit and 

possible legal actions.  If you can't afford to

buy a leash THEN you shouldn't have a puppy or 

that dog.  If you think putting a collar and 

leash on a puppy or a dog is too time consuming

or inconvenient then evidently you have time to 

sit in a vet's office and/or courtroom.                      

Ok, I'm done, I will get down off my soapbox now.

Mom's Monday Rant

Well, as we all know it is MONDAY and that is bad enough.

The other thing I have been plagued with for a loooooooooong time - and some of you too, no doubt, is SPAM - not the Bert kind but those comments.  We at Team Beaglebratz have not been bothered with those hateful comments that some of you have.  Oh, before I go much further I do want to say that our spam filter is on and that is where it ALL goes.

WARNING TO ALL SPAMMERS 

THAT'S WHERE IT STOPS TOO.  I don't read it except enough to see that it does NOT pertain to anything any of our blog posts is about.  I am NOT going to buy medication online - at least not the kind you are trying to get me to buy.  I am not interested in body building or using a medication-induced quik weight loss program.  You want Team Beaglebratz to comment on your blog but we are NOT wasting our time to comment on your ZXYAXXP blog - not when we can't even read what we are commenting on and it is not just a blog in a foreign language - it is something we can tell there is nothing there that would make the least bit of sense - in any language.  All of these spam "comments" are left by ANONYMOUS.  I check our spam folder at least once a day if I can get to it - usually it ends up being at least 3 or 4 times a day.  I make sure there are no true comments which pertain to anything we have ever posted or in some way are related to our content.  Once that determination is made - ANYTHING LEFT IN OUR SPAM FOLDER IS DELETED - never to be seen again - at least not those particular comments.  Quite often, those spam comments - get deleted in less than 6 - 8 hours after they are left, somethimes they don't even last that long.

Now then, I have to go off to work - making an honest living and not by leaving comments that waste other bloggers time - that's what it is - a waste of MY time and YOURS.  Instead of leaving comments that are totally ridiculous and a waste of one's life - why don't you, the spammer, go out and get a REAL job.

Okay - been wanting to say that for a long time- now it is said so I don't have to waste any more of MY time.
