LPT: As hard as it may be, when bringing your pet to the Vet to be euthanized, please stay until completion. As a Vet, it kills me inside that the animal must spend it's last seconds with people that he/she doesn't know.

This last year I have had to put down both of my dogs.

We saw Sierra going downhill for a long time, multiple meds every day, a surgery or two, but we began to notice she was living in pain and didn't want that for her. I was not able to be there for her, but my Dad and Mom were.

When my parents came home my other dog Yukon just knew, and it was very hard watching him be depressed, after a few months he was happy again but starting to go down hill slowly. I didn't know it until towards the end but he was basically unable to regulate his body temperature, and one morning he was just breathing hard and you can tell he was struggling, so I called my parents and while doing that realized that I needed to take him to the vet right away. Yukon was not getting enough oxygen in his system. By then my mom was with me, dad was out of state, brother was on the other side of the state, and other brother simply couldn't make it. It was one of the hardest days of my life, I still think about it and still cry from it, because we were not expecting to have to put him down that soon, but we made the right decision. I'm just glad I had the day off.

Love your pets, always.

LPT: If a job won’t tell you the wage before the interview, leave. If they don’t tell you, then it’s not a wage you’d be able to take. And they know it. They want you to invest all your time and energy interviewing so when they lowball you, you fall victim to the fallacy of sunk costs. LPT Request: Is there a way to become warm and bubbly person? LPT: Check on your friends who just had a baby. Ask if they need company, or anything, really. Keep calling them to social events, even if they are unable to attend for a good few months. Their routine has abruptly changed, hence most "friends" just vanish. LPT request: how to get up in the right time? LPT: Get a Prenup. It is far easier to decide how materials and custody should be divided while both parties are on good terms. It'll save you both a lot of time and money. LPT: One of the biggest mistakes you could make when trying to climb any company’s ladder is believing that your skill, talent, and work ethic will be noticed and rewarded. More often than not, the only thing holding you back is keeping your mouth shut.
