I was able to get my H1N1 shot this past weekend, so within a few days I won't have to worry about catching it and then passing it on to (and possibly killing) one of my patients or my own cats. Whew. What a relief.
It didn't hurt, and I feel fine.
The American Lung Association's flu locator can help you find the H1N1 vaccination if you are interested.
LA County Health Department doesn't have any more H1N1 shot clinics planned until the beginning of December, probably because of the Thanksgiving holiday.

We Need Newspaper
For the 20th time today I reminded myself to post a request for newspaper, and I finally remembered to do it!
We need your discarded clean newspaper for lining cages in the hospital ward. We don't need mountains of the stuff - just a stack of a few weeks' accumulation of LA Times is sufficient once in a while. We also only need the newsprint and NOT the glossy insert material.
Thanks for your help! I used to buy the Times every day and so we had plenty, but now I get my news off "teh intertubes" and we find ourself running out of newspapers too often.

Time To Adopt Another Cat!
It's the time of year when hearts and minds turn toward gifts. And what better gift could you get your cat (especially if it's an only kitty) than ANOTHER CAT? Please do consider adopting one of the many homeless waifs currently housed at one of the city animal shelters.
The West Valley shelter has 60 cats listed as of this moment. If you click on the hyperlink you'll find a page that helps you narrow your search by gender, age, size, and color. Please think about making this a very happy holiday season for a cat in need of a home! And remember to bring kitty in within three days of adoption for a free exam at Cat's Meow Veterinary Clinic (we suggest two days of home observation before the exam).
We're going to be adopting a new mascot sometime after the holidays and may wind up getting one from the West Valley shelter.
We Have Aquarium Of The Pacific Discount Coupons
The Aquarium of the Pacific, located in Long Beach, has a promotion on between now and March 31 2010. We have discount coupons good for one free child's admission with one paid adult admission. Quantities are limited. We will have them available at the front desk until they run out or expire, so be sure to ask about them next time you are in.
I went to the Aquarium of the Pacific a few years ago and had a wonderful time. While it is not as fabulous as the Monterey Bay Aquarium, it is quite the facility. The moon jellies and shark-petting pool are my favorite exhibits!
LA Metro can take you down to Long Beach if you don't feel like driving all that way and hassling with parking. From the Valley you take the Red or Orange line bus to the Red line subway, into downtown, then take the Blue line (light rail) to Long Beach, where local shuttles will get you around.
If the economy has forced a change in your plans and it's a "staycation" this year, the Aquarium would make a perfect holiday excursion.
