Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Do you have any problems with people not being able to open your documents that you send from the Ipad?
Oh, a mouse would solve a lot of issues. Maybe I should get one.

I only have file problems when I do something wrong, but for someone who sends docs on a regular basis and, especially, who has the native apps, not the Apple equivalents, I don't think the documents should be a problem.

thanks! I appreciate the help. I can get her an Ipad, case, keyboard and mouse for 440.00 so I think I will go that route for now.

I still can’t use the site on my MacBook or iPhone except when I use the mobile version. I hope it gets fixed soon. Will maintain radio silence until then.

Thanks. It’s likely my fault for giving him too much dry food. I need to be better at resisting his pleas. Expensive mistake.

Is that what the doc said? I'd like to avoid this problem with my gato. He only eats dry food. If I give him canned food he will ignore it. He's also the most difficult animal I've ever tried to give medication to. He'll spit out any pill or liquid antibiotic, even if it's mixed into something.

Neck? Are you sure? That's not where I put the pins.

Hope it all goes away.

This happened earlier this year. Older, male cats are more susceptible, especially if they are overweight like my boy. Dry food can contribute to the condition but won’t necessarily cause it in all cats. Stress from something like moving can also be a cause, but that’s not an issue in his case.

I was good about limiting dry food after the first blockage but got lax. He also gets a special Rx urinary food a couple of times/week. It’s obviously not a fool preventative. When he’s discharged we’re going to have to have a talk about his dry food consumption. He’s not going to like what I have to say.

My Greyhound has to go in for tooth work. Greyhounds are notorious for bad teeth. Not sure whether it's their diet at the farms and then the track, or what. Poor boy is down to 10 teeth, and they'll probably pull 2 more today.

Sorry to hear that. I've got a male cat with the same problem. Special, stupid expensive food, wet and dry, for urinary and diet control. Also, he gets at least 5mg of Fluoxetine to "destress" him which seems to help.. The vet said our multi_cat house might cause the stress. Haven't had a problem for a long time.

So everyone, if you're nerdy enough, the issue is a <div> called "consent blackbar" If you right-click on the page and select "Inspect element" it should have that <div> highlighted, then you can "delete node" and get mouse control back.
