Dog’s Purpose Explained

A Dog’s Purpose (from a 6-year-old). …..
Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year-old Irish Wolfhound named Belker. The dog’s owners, Ron, his wife Lisa, and their little boy Shane, were all very attached to Belker, and they were hoping for a miracle. I examined Belker and found he was dying of cancer. I told the family we couldn’t do anything for Belker, and offered to perform the euthanasia procedure for the old dog in their home. As we made arrangements, Ron and Lisa told me they thought it would be good for six-year-old Shane to observe the procedure. They felt as though Shane might learn something from the experience.
The next day, I felt the familiar catch in my throat as Belker’s family surrounded him. Shane seemed so calm, petting the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if he understood what was going on. Within a few minutes, Belker slipped peacefully away. The little boy seemed to accept Belker’s transition without any difficulty or confusion. We sat together for a while after Belker’s death, wondering aloud about the sad fact that animal lives have shorter than human lives. Shane, who had been listening quietly, piped up, “I know why.” Startled, we all turned to him. What came out of his mouth next stunned me.
I’d never heard a more comforting explanation. He said, “People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?” The Six-year-old continued, “Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don’t have to stay as long.”
Of course, there are some dogs who really need to stick around for awhile.

Mobile Tracking Wanted By 27 percent
eMarketer.com reports that 27 percent of US smartphone owners would allow mobile in-store tracking in order to receive relevant, real-time information and offers especially information and offers involving price.
It noted that 24 percent don’t have a strong opinion and just a little bit less than half are totally creeped out by the idea.
If merchants can make 27 percent of customers happy with the new tech expect it to happen.

Two Patients Or Why We May Need Vets

Two patients limp into two different doctors’ offices with the same complaint. Both have trouble walking and may require hip surgery.
Patient 1 is examined within the hour, is x-rayed the same day and has a time booked for surgery the following week.
Patient 2 sees his family doctor after waiting 3 weeks for an appointment, then waits 6 weeks to see a specialist, then gets an x-ray, which isn’t reviewed for another week and finally has his surgery scheduled for 3 months from then, pending the review board’s decision on his age and remaining value to society.
Why the different treatment for the two patients?
The FIRST is a Golden Retriever taken to a vet
The SECOND is a senior citizen on Obama care.
In November, if there is no change in government, we’ll all have to find a good vet.
