Love Hate— David Stone, DVM, Bloomingrove Veterinary Hospital

Who knew what we love would be so intimately connected to what we hate. I know we allknow they are connected, but I saw it more clearly when I watched a veterinarian on televisionanswer the question, “what do you love the most about your job?” and she said, “I lovewhen I know for certain what’s going on, for instance, when I see something in a pet’sstomach, take it to surgery and remove the object and the pet is cured! It makes me feelgreat!” It’s a common question for a vet to hear. I’ve answered it quite a few times myself. Nopat answer – always something different, but along the same lines as the TV vet. Below aresome of my loves, which as it follows, are coupled with my hates.

I love to see families get new puppies. I hate when families get more pets when they can’thandle the pets they already have.

I love when I talk someone into running a test for their pet that turns out to provide themissing piece which explains the whole case. I hate when the test is unhelpful and I feellike I’ve wasted your money and eroded your confidence.

I love when I recognize people and remember everything about them. I hate when I seesomeone I really, really know but just can’t think of their name at the moment.

I love when you tell me I’m the best vet you’ve ever met. I hate when you refuse to see myassociates on my day off because you think I’m the best vet.

I love when you bring your child to the visits. I hate when you let your child run our visits.

I love when I understand your pet’s sickness and am able to help. I hate when I just can’tfigure out what’s going on and I am not successful.

I love the winter when your pet’s skin and ears are looking great. I hate the spring/summer/fall when you are frustrated and your pet is suffering and our options are few.

GoTo for Pets6

A Thanksgiving Tip for Your DogIf you want your dog to feel like he’s a part of the holiday celebration, then consider fillinghis Kong toy with a few kibbles,treats or even some unseasonedcooked turkey. That way he’ll beoccupied while you and yourfamily eat, and he won’t beg atthe table.

November 2012 7

I love when the hospital is busy. I hate when busytips to moments of feeling overwhelmed.

I love when you can pay your bill without a blink orgrimace. I hate when I know how much you haveand how much you need and how far short you’regoing to fall.

I love the fact that learning is ongoing and rigorous.I hate that I won’t ever know everything and that I’llmake mistakes from my lack of knowledge.

I love educating people. I hate when someone wallows in ignorance and takes no responsibilityfor their stupidity.

I love when medical technology is working smoothlyand assisting in the timely understanding and treat-ment of your pet. I hate that sometimes things don’twork properly and even simple activities are impededby nonworking technology. Thank you, IT support,for limiting my frustration.

I love that I have known many of my patients theirwhole lives. I hate that some of their lives are coming to an end as the wave of age is overcomingtheir generation.

I love when you tell me that your dog hasn’t eaten in two days and everyone is freaking out that he’sgonna die and I grab a few treats and a can of dogfood and he eats every crumb I offer and everyone isable to relax. I hate when he doesn’t eat my offeringsand we find out that all your fears were justified.

I love talking to my clients, catching up, shakinghands, and giving hugs.

Do you know the song by Wham,“Wake me up before you go-go”?Well, I was named after that song,I’m Jitterbug! I’m always dancingin my kennel, itching to get outso I can run and play with myfriends! I love other dogs and I’vebeen told that I get along withthose funny little fuzzy things…what are they called…Cats! Do you have kids at home? I’d love to play with them, too. If you are looking for a 1-year-oldfemale dancing partner for life,then I’m the one for you!

Jitterbug is at Mohawk HudsonHumane Society3 Oakland Ave., Menands, NY 12204(518) 434-8128 www.mohawkhumane.org

Rocky Road Brownies

• 1 cup less 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour • 1/4 tsp baking powder

• 1/4 tsp salt • 4 1/2 tblsp unsalted butter

• 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder

• 1 1/4 cups sugar • 1 large egg

• 2 large egg whites • 2 tsp vanilla extract

• 8 regular-size marshmallows

• 2/3 cup coarsely chopped walnuts or pecans • 1/3 cup chopped bittersweet or semisweet chocolate chips

1. Line an 8-inch-square baking pan with parchment or foil coated with cooking spray. (Leave an overhang to lift

the brownies out later with the liner.) Position a rack in center of oven and preheat to 350°F.

2. Thoroughly whisk flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl.

3. Melt butter in medium saucepan until sizzling. Remove from heat; stir in cocoa, then sugar. Add egg, egg whites

and vanilla. Stir briskly until smooth and glossy. Add flour mixture until just incorporated, then stir briskly for

about 50 strokes. Scrape batter into prepared pan; spread evenly. Batter will be very shallow. If time allows,

chocolate chips around marshmallows.

5. Bake until marshmallows are golden brown, 25 to 35 minutes. Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack for

about 2 hours. Lift the ends of the pan liner and transfer to a cutting board. Cut into 16 brownies.

Before adorning your home with holiday trimmings, try some of thesechanges to make your home warm and welcoming for the holiday season.

• Adding a Centerpiece: Adding a new arrangement of candles, etc. caninstantly add glamour and warmth to an otherwise boring tabletop.

• Year-Round Wreaths: Always a welcoming addition to your entry.

• Soft Treatments: Add touches of color with new pillows of all sizesand textures, area rugs and more.

• Paint and Wall Coverings: Changing the look of a wall can transforma room and is a very cost-effective change.

• Tables/Seating: Throw out the card table this Thanksgiving and consider shopping for new tables and chairs that can transform aroom at any budget.

• Windows: There are new options for shades, blinds, and curtain treatments that not only dress up those windows, but make a fashionstatement at the same time, without blocking out winter light.

The upcoming months are busy for everyone, so now is the time to put a little effort into your home to be sure you can enjoy yourguests and the holiday season.
