My husband and I are taking our first vacation in over 5 years. We are leaving on 12/2 for Cabo San Lucas and returning 12/9. I doubt that I will be near a computer since we plan on doing lots of outdoor activities (and maybe stopping at Cabo Wabo for a tequila or two). I just wanted to let everyone know that I will not be around in case anyone posts in the "ask a vet" forum.

Sadie is my 9yr old Rott/Shepherd mix. Diagnosed with osteosarcoma in her right scapula 1/28/10. Our brave girl had her amputation 2/13/10 and her last chemotherapy on 6/6/10. Unfortunately, a tumor appeared in her back right leg and on 10/7/2010 Sadie's earthly journey came to an end. On 10/24/2010 we adopted Ranger, a handsome Rott/Lab mix tripawd (got hit by a car) I think Sadie sent him to us.

Sounds like it is a well overdue vacation. You guys have a great time! We'll hold down the 'Ask a vet' forum for you. And we'll be sure to preface all our advice with 'Not actually a vet, our resident vet is on vacation!"

remember to save all of the little umbrella's so you know how many 'grita's' you had...enjoy!!
Life is good, so very, very good!!! Gayle enjoyed each and every moment of each and every wonderful day (naps included). She left this world December 12, 2011 – off on a new adventure.

How exciting. Have a wonderful vacation!

A vacation???!!! What is that?
Have a great time! We'll play substitute vet while you are gone and if we don't have any answers, we'll make them up!

She departed us unexpectedly January 23, 2011 at the age of 12 1/2.
She was born with a deformed front leg and a tripawd all of her life.
Pam,
I hope you and your husband have a grand time. You certainly deserve it. You may not have know this but Fortis likes tequila too! I posted a picture a while back.
Don't worry about the "Ask A Vet" forum, I'm good at sounding like I know what I'm talking about!
Have fun 
Fortis'Dad
Hah, no worries. Fortis, Comet and I (Tazzie 2) have it covered. Tripawds Central need fear no liability issues whatsoever
5 years!!! You deserve more than one week!
Hey Comet
Congratulations on your 2000 post!!! Did I miss the big day?!? Did you have a Big Pawty???
I tried to find our thread about our select 1000 and 2000 post club (aka Club Blabbermouth), but failed. Given we are hijacking this topic for a week (or more), I figure it is A Ok to eat up precious ask-a-vet space with this vitally important topic! I have a hunch I'll never catch up to you and Trouble.
