I’m sure that whatever state you relocated to doesn’t have people that talk and think the way Ms. Kern does. As an Oklahoman you should be ashamed of yourself. As another Native Oklahoman, I can say, with clarity, that you shame our state. Shame on you. I spent more that half my life in California and Florida. And let me tell you there are lots of folks like Kern in those two states and in just about all points in between.</p> And so you condemn the whole state of Oklahoma.

A dog? Or a cat? Sorry I don’t know, but I either missed an earlier reference or forgot in my disorganized brain.

Good for you for taking care of it — hope you used a good antibiotic ointment or some other antimicrobial agent on the bandage.

Our “kid” (pupster) got infected paws from chewing on her pads during allergy season (inhalant allergies can even cause pads to ooze an itchy brownish discharge, if the allergies are bad enough — dogs do amazing things with their pads — leaving scent and such, and they perspire through their paws, all stuff I was amazed to learn about).

The infection came, not from the chewing itself, but from subsequent exposure to a staph infection in the ground she walked on (so said the vet, anyway).

What did you use to hold the bandage on? We used gauze wrapping (with an antibiotic ointment and “black salve” [ichthammol] mixture), but then held it in place with bandaging tape topped with a TODDLER’S SOCK, which in turn was held in place with a gently tied ribbon.

What a pain in the butt it is to try to keep bandaging on a pet’s paws!!! They don’t seem to understand the reasoned explanation you give for why they shouldn’t chew and scrape it off. ;-)

But if you’re a Christian, all you have to do is say you “love” the gays before saying the most hateful things about them possible. Ms. Kern was most entertaining in prefacing her remarks with a statement implying that she would be in certain danger for the loving things she was about to say about the sissies and dykes in the queer ghetto that is The Great Plains. Wow, that took some courage! God knows I say a prayer and clench my anus everytime I have to take I-35 anywhere.</p> Funny that you can’t get away with saying “I’m not a racist, but..(insert extremely racist comment here)” anymore.
