Get a second opinion

I recently joined the Osceola Freecycle group and have been enjoying the requests and offers that people have been posting. Someone recently gave away a 42DD bra, for instance.

Today someone posts that she wants a chihuahua puppy. She describes why, and I’m totally lost here:

About a year ago my female chihuahua passed away when going to the vet
to get her yearly shots. Apparently like the vet said she was too old she was over 10 years old and the shots could not be givin to her. So my dog had to be put to sleep or just like her live with out shot and be sick its just the same feeling when you lose a family member I spent 2 months thinking about my lost my husband cried like if it was his child. I am now starting fresh because I know she is in heaven looking down on me. I am looking for some one who is a breeds or someone who owns chihuahua’s puppys and has a kind and big heart and willing to give it to be part of my family. Thank you and God Bless !

If I understand this correctly, her dog was 10 years old and otherwise healthy. She took her to the vet for an annual exam and vax.

• The vet told her the dog was too old to be vaccinated.

I don’t buy that, but the next part is what really throws me (and I’ll translate):

• The vet recommended the dog be put down or live without shots and be sick.

What?! I can’t believe a doctor, sworn to do no harm, would recommend euthanasia for an otherwise healthy animal simply because it was “too old” for vaccinations! Who would give such advice?

My dog Tekey just turned fourteen years old. She’s allergic to one of the vaccinations
(don’t know which one) so we stopped giving them to her about 11 years ago. She has never had parvo, rabies, or any other communicable disease. And as far as her being “too old” for vax: every time we see a vet I have to explain why they can’t give her a shot.

Got an old computer?

I’ve written about this in the past and honestly, I didn’t get a lot of interest. Funny.

Anyway, I’m still interested in your extra PC parts. Video cards, hard drives, sticks of RAM, basically anything you’ve got laying around that you’re sick of looking at. CPUs and motherboards should be Pentium II-class or better.

Likewise, if you know of someone that needs a computer (college program kids, students, grandmas, whatever) then let me know. When I have enough stuff to build a machine, I give it away.
