I usually ask my daughter, a wonderful veterinarian, but sometimes I come across news that she has not heard. I do subscribe to Dolittler.

I tell people to think about the average 25% percent of a vets income that comes from selling pet food when they talk to their vet. You see, I don't think anyone has to worry about getting respect from the vet anymore, I think the vets need to worry about getting respect from pet parents.

I, too, am a victim of what I call I.I.O. (Inbox Information Overload) but I try to depend on my journalism skills to keep me in check and weed out the good from the bad.

In learning to trust my own judgement more in evaluating sources, learning from actual experiences, and just good common sense that I am endowed with, I now make better choices. As to pet foods, I still stick to smaller operations. As to vets, I choose those that want to help animals and love them. As to medicines, I am the most careful and spend a lot of time seeing if the science makes sense. Of course I make mistakes, but less now as I put more thought into evaluating the source.

I'm going to use them as my screensaver at work. The pet food recall also taught me to question information and I'm passing that on to others too. Thank goodness this was the website I chose to follow, then and still do now. I love the quote and the bumper sticker!! I’m going to use them as my screensaver at work.
