Only four? Wimp. 
I have 8 1/2, so add me to the Cat Lady list 
(The 1/2 is a semi-feral who comes and goes, but I feed him when he’s around. Which, come to think of it, has been daily for quite some time now…)
araminty, thanks for asking this, I’d like to know too:
Well, I got sucked into this stupid ass zombie thread, but I now I must know what happened those many years ago Did Una ever get it on with the hot redheaded vet?
Argh, you beat me by half a cat – although one of the three barn cats at the farm where I board my two horses was rehomed there by me when she proved unable to take the chaos of a multiple-cat household, so maybe that gets me to nine?
To start off I would like to say that I have never ever created an account like this to reply to anything online (I don’t even have a facebook account). I think it is a complete waste of time to spend your days going on rants online about things you don’t like in life. (So you can imagine how provoked I would have to be to go through the trouble of posting this.) I came across this post by chance while I was googling heartguard, but after reading the first couple lines of “PunditLisa’s” post I had to create an account and post a reply.
“It’s a DOG and if he dies of shock, I’ll live with it.”…PunditLisa you are a horrible, horrible person. I can’t believe you own a dog! why would you want to own a dog if you are not going to love and care for it? Wanting to save money on medicine and feeling like you want to protect yourself from being taken “advantage of” is fine (cheap, but fine). But saying or thinking that you would “get over it” if it died from shock (cause you wanted to save money) is embarrassing. Why would you even put that online? You were trying to complain about poor customer service but you lost any credibility by running your big mouth without thinking first. You don’t deserve to have a dog. Why don’t you get off of your computer and go try to be a loving person and not a cheap, annoying, selfish, you-know-what?
Uh, PunditLisa wrote that 8 years ago.
PETA arrives! Only took 8 years.
I wonder what kelsey1990 would think about I burning your dog if THIS upsets them so much!
Despite the fun you appear to derive from needling PETA, that ain’t PETA. They would never use the term “own a dog.”
kelsey1990 needs to go look up the definition of mortified. (Unless of course she’s PunditLisa in disguise 
)
Well, hopefully she’s off the computer by now.
Dog may have died of old age by now. How sad.

PunditLisa lost any sympathy I might have had for her with this statement.
Mine does too and they have their own deal with an online pharmacy. I can get all the heartworm/flea/tick stuff, the special feline kidney support food, and the cat’s thyroid meds all from one website, which I access through a portal link on my vet’s web page. If I have a special order for some reason, they will make sure it’s available in their online system. In fact, I think my vet’s office goes to the lengths of undercutting 1800petmeds and those sites’ prices so they keep that business in-house and have better control of monitoring who is getting the meds and who isn’t.
I think the point of her statement to the obnoxious receptionist was "I’ve made a decision about my dogs health and I feel comfortable with it, your hyberbolic threats of consequences are not going to get you anywhere so please stop.
I don’t think she is actually heartless and her update seems to indicate that her assessment of her dogs health needs was accurate.
Or shock.
Based upon the previous bump in July, Buddy was 11 and doing just fine. But maybe this second bump caused him to die of shock. Only time will tell.
Buddy the beagle is 12 now and still alive despite my best attempts to kill him. Amazingly, I’m still alive also despite not slathering on sunscreen every time I walk outside, despite dermatologist’s recommendations to do so.
In short, we continue to defy the odds, the two of us.
Kelsey, I hope your bleeding heart heals soon.
*Interestingly enough, the temperatures here in Ohio climbed into the 60s this very week. Guess who got a HeartGard pill?
The sun burning you and ur dog!
