It's a dog-eat-too-much world, and a crazy world too!: liposuction for a fat dog NC [Rocky Mount Telegram] What kind of maniacs are we to do to dogs what we do to ourselves? First, get the dog fat, and THEN make it get liposuction so it won't waddle too much...
So, your dog is fat; no big news there. We're all too fat. But before you put your dog on a diet, have it checked out by a vet first; both of our dogs were recently diagnosed as hypothyroid, a condition often overlooked, but one that causes sluggishness and often, weight gain. What's amazing is that neither dog was overweight and one is decidedly sleek. However, an underactive thyroid can prevent a pet from properly receiving nutrition from its food and can cause weight gain. After a week of prescribed medicine, both dogs are more active, less prone to heat stress, and happier... but liposuction for a dog?

Like a dog drawn to a bone, I can't keep away from Microsoft's Windows' XP Service Pack 2 RC2, even though my first install transformed my computer into a slow behemoth with a stalled screen and no toolbars. Undeterred, I uninstalled, tinkered with my computer's virtual memory settings and then tried again. This time, it worked, but the Service Pack had broken Norton's Internet Security and I couldn't update the virus protection or the Firewall; in fact, I was told to uninstall Norton's Firewall and reinstall it... ugh. So, again, I uninstalled SP2RPC2.. But not before checking out some of the intriguing new : DCOM is now enabled, by default, and if you disable it you'll disable many other services.
