LUCKY VETS IN WISCONSIN

Posted on November 3, 2012 by asknod

LawBob sends this one to us. I do so hope that the University of Washington (Tacoma) or the University of Puget Sound would institute something like this. On the other hand, I wish Gonzaga made it mandatory in order to … Continue reading →

BVA–DR. CECIL NEXUS PREVAILS ON JETGUN

Posted on November 1, 2012 by asknod

You have to hand it to Dr. Cecil. He gets a lot of static for helping and does not always come away with a win. Often, the Vet who seeks him out is less than forthright about his/her medical history … Continue reading →

BVA–KNICKKNACK, PADDYWHACK, GIVE THE DOG A BONE

Posted on October 31, 2012 by asknod

Here’s one of those famous bait and switch decisions repped by none other than the DAV. I wonder who put him up to this division of assets? Divide and conquer is vA’s game, not DAV’s. Unless, of course, everyone is … Continue reading →

VA HOPELESSLY MIRED IN POOR LEADERSHIP

Posted on October 30, 2012 by asknod
