They were both nice pets by the time my siblings and I were eventually born, ... more

I generally can't diagnose without seeing an animal, but I can help you interpret things, particularly if you have things like lab work done.

I guess I might have a bit more wiggle room since my specialty is actually methodology, specifically, developing new methods for thermal-dissipation sap flow sensors, and some new stem hygrometers, which can be applied to many plants, in many places.

Night Gary, by the way, where is that Gag gift review you talked about? We need a Gary fix.

Is it a symptom of her being old? The vet says she is really old for her breed, but looks and acts great for her age. Can it be doggy dementia?

Dogs can definitely develop dementia as they age, just like people. Animals are living longer than they used to.

Well, yes. That would certainly open the field for you more since you aren't field-based. Lab-based ecologists have a lot more wiggle room.

I'm field-based and studied in Ohio and then Florida, and finding work in the Pacific Northwest has been...challenging.

That never makes much sense to me. If you've got brains enough to be doing what you're doing in the first place, you've got brains enough to adapt to a new system.

It's like any other business in that respect. You need the job-based training, but you can't get that job-based training without the job. Classic paradox. The state hiring freezes don't help much.

I'm trying to overcome it by writing two books on Pacific Northwest ecology. Once published, that should prove to everyone that I know something about the Pacific Northwest.

I have no clue when that will be, though. I still need to get the photography done for them.

my friends found a dog like that. A little long-haired chihuahua that they named BeeBee. She had no teeth. It had been abandoned. It was so sad. She was very old and died several weeks later

What kinds of things? I don't think there has ever been something I wanted that ebay didn't have cheapest. I've never had a problem. Clothing, lingerie, heels, toys, video games, perfume, car parts, textbooks, autographs, sports tickets...seriously...

Different audiences. My old roommate didn't have a problem finding Lane Bryant clothing on ebay for much cheaper, but that's pretty much my knowledge on that subject. And home schooling supplies, that I have ZERO clue about lol.
