Late to the party

Spoilers for season 2 of The Walking Dead.

Dale died.

I've read very far into the comics (Omnibus 1 and 2), and Dale was alive for most of it. Hell, Sophia was still alive where I left off, and she died earlier than he did. And as sad as I am to see Dale go, I understand why the writers did it: shake things up, can't follow the story line too closely or it gets dull, etc.

For those of you wondering why I'm complaining about this a whole two years after the fact, it's very simple: like many of the things I enjoy (Game of Thrones, Dragon Ball Z, Avatar the Last Airbender), I got into the series years after everyone else did. Many of my interests are already concluded!

Spoiler avoidance is usually the hardest part of getting into something post-popularity boom. Who hasn't heard the true identity of Kaiser Soyse, or what the Island really turned out to be? I know a lot of people don't care about spoilers, but I take them seriously. I've made an informal pact not to watch The Usual Suspects due to aforementioned Kaiser spoiler coming up repeatedly.

If I don't care about a show and intend never to watch it (Dr. Who, Firefly, ANY soap opera), please, spoil away. As for me? I'll always ask before I start talking about new media to avoid spoiling someone who isn't in the know. Old media too, usually. Unless it's a HUGE cultural touchstone that was spoiled long before my birth.

NOT MY FAULT.

Now, back to binge watching.

Tails from the Vet: Snips and Tips

Here are 10 tips to endear yourself to your vet. I will not include tips like 'Be on time' because c'mon.

1. Bring your pet's records.

Your dog or cat needs yearly shots. If you switch vets or even if you keep the same vet, you'll need copies of your records on hand. What shots are they due for? What procedures have they had in the past? These are important factors that are much easier to discern if your bring your records. Best case scenario, you won't need them.

2. If your pet has an accident...

DO pick up poo, if you can. DON'T use a billion paper towels if you're squeamish or it pees. Just let us handle it. It happens.

3. Put your dog on a leash.

Oh, he's friendly? Other dogs may not be. Oh, he won't run out the door? He might, if he's spooked. It's common courtesy.

4. Call, please.

 Yes, we take walk in. But most days our doctor is in surgery for 2+ hours. If you come in during that time, you'l have to wait. Just call first to make sure he's free.

5. If you can't afford an e collar (cone) and pain management, you can't afford surgery. 

Together its $35 more (at our clinic) and they're VITAL to your animal's health. Save up until you can get these things.

6. Skittish animal? TELL US.

If you know your dog snarls or growls (or bites), we will still treat. If we know, we can muzzle or take it into the back to hold it down, and keep us, you and the animal safe.

7. Animal on meds? TELL US.

Just like with people, medications can interact negatively and cancel out. Even if we prescribed it, remind us. We won't be mad or think you're nagging or obsessed.

8. Don't expect us to diagnose over the phone.

Please, tell us your animal's symptoms. We'll tell you to come in, 99% of the time. But usually we CANNOT for sure tell you what's wrong. We need to see your pet to find out.

9. Don't steal our pens/flea combs/thermometers/nail clippers.

We need those things.

10. Tell a friend!
