A hurtful comment...

people can be so cruel and stupid.... i can't say don't let it get to you, because i know it does...but bear in mind that not a lot of people hail animals as people like we on PT do...

Yes, "stupid goat" would be the correct translation - even though I think no goat deserves being compared to such a person!

[QUOTE=Kirsten] no goat deserves being compared to such a person!/QUOTE]
Right on, Kirsten!!! I couldn't agree with you more. Comparing such a person to a goat, or any other animal on the face of this earth, is an insult to the animals!! Scritchies, tummy rubs, and smoochies to Lily, Luna, and of course, Peggy.....

Thanks!

Well, "blöde Ziege" is a common phrase in German, just like "stupid cow".

BTW, I bookmarked MajesticCollies' link, there's a lot of interesting stuff to read.

phesina, thanks for your info regarding this Essiac tea. I will do some research and ask the homeopathic vet about it. I hope it helps your Sydney to fight his disease!!! Do you think you have be to sure it's cancer to use it? You know, so far, I still do not know...

I also read that interferon helps a lot when a cat has cancer! Does it have any side effects?

Dear Kirsten, I think I am going to keep the expression "stupid (nanny or billy) goat" in mind for deserving people! ..though as you said, goats don't deserve to be compared with such persons.

Thanks for your good wishes for Sydney. I don't really know that much about Essiac or Interferon. I only started using them in the last week or so with him. Please let us know what your homeopathic vet says about them. He probably knows much more than I do.

That will be good, too, if he is one of Luna's regular vets who had been on vacation, who already knows her.

All the best to you and your girls,
Pat and the kids
