Doggers – what temperature is it where you are today?

It is going to be about 40 C here today (about 104 F).

I have closed up the house, shut all the blinds and made sure that the dogs’ paddling pool is filled and in the shade.

What do you do to help your animals cope with extremes of heat and/or cold?
Walks have to be either early in the morning or well after dark here. Canberra seems to have its hottest part of the day between 3 and 6pm.

Is there any possible way to extend a dogs’ life?

I was just wondering if there’s any way to make a dog live longer?

What to do during a dog’s seizure and what is the cost of medication?

My 3 year old lab had two seizures in March of this year (really weak, not diagnosed). Yesterday my wife and I noticed he was having one. I rubbed him down and talked to him during the seizure until it went away (3-5 minutes). What else can I do? I know I have to take him to the vet and most likely get him medicated. How much money are we looking at?

Can Name Twelv Albums You Can Live Without?

I would like a list and short review of ten albums you cant live without. Here’s my list.

Louis Armstrong : All Time Greatest Hits.
This is more than a Greatest Hits Album it has most of his solo songs on it. His work was spread among a lot of Ella Fitzgerald and other Jazz musicians albums. Which is a shame this, man embodied raw talent. Louis Armstrong did for the Trumpet what Jimmy Hendrix did for the Electric Guitar and Neil Peart and Jimmy Chamberlain did for the Drums. His vocals are warm and emotional not smooth and soft, the have life to them. The music is great, the singing is great, the flow is good, and the production is very raw which works well for Louis Armstrong

Elvis Presley : Self Titled Album.
This was the King Of Rock And Roll when he was just a kid with a dream, a great raw singing voice, and a guitar.This is the best Elvis Presley album ever, the raw sound the energy, the singing Rockabilly sound, and the feel of the late 1950s are heavy in this album. I think this album is over looked by a lot of Elvis Presley fans and it’s a shame. in less than two decades he would be gone and the best singer ever would be dead. The flow is good, the music is good, the singing is great, and the production is great.

The Doors : Self Titled Album.
This album is the core of Psychedelic Rock, it has inspired so many musicians, and entertained so may people through the years. It’s lack of over political songs make it timeless. The Doors were the Nirvana of their time. They wrote music diffident than most other Rock Bands, wrote lyrics diffident than most other Rock Bands, and they forged new ground with their slightly New Wave sound and heavy Psychedelic sound. The music is great, the lyrics are great, the production is great, and the flow is great.

Nirvana : In Utero.
This is Nirvana’s final and best album, it has the rawness of Bleach, it was catchy like Nevermind, and mature enough to be considered a true masterpiece. This album is a real rocker with meaning, it’s pure emotion and beauty. Many people have tried emulate the sound of this album and this band but few have even came close. This album has really stood the test of time too, in part because no one knows what Kurt is singing about (and that’s how I like it. If all of Nirvana’s albums had been this good they would have been the best band ever. The music is great, the singing is great, the flow is great, and the production is great

The Smashing Pumpkins : Melon Collie And The Infinite Sadness.
This album is a true masterpiece, the songwriting is just as good as Siamese Dream, but it doesn’t have Butch Vig’s candy coated production. This album is the best double album ever recorded. There is not one song on this album that is not perfect. Everyone in the civilized world should own this album. The music is great, the singing is great, the floe is great, and the production is great.

R.E.M. : New Adventures In Hi-Fi.
This album marks a return to the classic sound that brought R.E.M. to the top of the list of greatest Rock Bands ever. With powerful lyrics, great music, and maturity, New Adventures In Hi-Fi is a work of art that can make you mellow, can make you dance, or make you sing along at the top of you lungs in a crowded building. As if they didn’t have enough going for this album they also have song featuring the legendary Patti Smith on backing vocals (E-Bow The Letter). The music is great, the singing is great, the flow is great, and the production is good.

The Stone Temple Pilots : Tiny Music.
This album was more Classic Rock oriented and less Grunge oriented. It features Scott’s best vocal, and the bands best songs. It has a timeless feel and sound to it, it echos the 1960s but is fresh enough to not be a rip off. This album is very underrated. The music is great, the singing is great, the flow is great, and the production is great.

The Smashing Pumpkins : Adore
This album was a major switch in the style of music and lyrics The Smashing Pumpkins had written. The heavy Hard Rock was replaced with Keyboards and Acoustic Guitars. The overall
