Pulmonary Embolism Support Group
By far the most common form of pulmonary embolism is a thromboembolism, which occurs when a blood clot, generally a venous thrombus, becomes dislodged from its site of formation and embolizes to the arterial blood supply of one of the lungs. Symptoms may include difficulty breathing, pain during breathing, and more rarely circulatory instability and death.
Apologies if this has been done, my memory is naff but I searched the first few pages and couldn't find anything.
My animals helped me after having the clot and they've really been a lifeline in my recovery. I have 2 golden retrievers, Shaylee 11 and Willow 8, both are so loving and as Cave said want to please you all the time. Gunner is a 4 year old german shepherd and a total goofball who makes me laugh many times a day. Salem the moggy is now 12 and I have 1 rat called Charm who is just over 3. Her sister died recently which is the only reason she is alone, I think she's too frail to introduce to new rats so just do the best I can at the moment to keep her busy and give her new things to do.
So what pets does everyone else have?

Look at what my best friend did with my picture!

We all have 24 hours in a day. How we spend these hours is important. Watching a little bit of a video about how sitting affects us made me aware of how much sitting and laying down I do. Gonna have to work on that.Your turn. Tell me another truth.
Back when we could drink (times long gone!) friends would come over for dinner (and drinks) and congregate in the kitchen with their drinks while I finished cooking.
At the time we had a Great Dane who, of course, had to be in the kitchen also. One of the men was sitting on a low step stool, Martini glass out in front of him.
The Dane was, of course, drooling and then shook his head. We all watched in amazement while a big glob of drool arced across the kitchen and went PLOP right into his Martini!!
Needless to say I had to make the guy a new Martini. LOL
How many dogs does it take to change a lightbulb??
Below are a list of responses from different breed personality types:
Golden Retriever: The sun is shining, the day is young, we've got our whole lives ahead of us, and you're inside worrying about a stupid burned out bulb?
Border Collie: Just one. And then I'll replace any wiring that's not up to code.
Dachshund: You know I can't reach that stupid lamp!
Rottweiler: Make me.
Boxer: Who cares? I can still play with my squeaky toys in the dark.
Lab: Oh, me, me!!!!! Pleeeeeeeeeze let me change the light bulb! Can I? Can I? Huh? Huh? Huh? Can I? Pleeeeeeeeeze, please, please, please!
German Shepherd: I'll change it as soon as I've led these people from the dark, check to make sure I haven't missed any, and make just one more perimeter patrol to see that no one has tried to take advantage of the situation.
Jack Russell Terrier: I'll just pop it in while I'm bouncing off the walls and furniture.
Old English Sheep Dog: Light bulb? I'm sorry, but I don't see a light bulb!
Cocker Spaniel: Why change it? I can still pee on the carpet in the dark.
Chihuahua : Yo quiero Taco Bulb. Or "We don't need no stinking light bulb."
Greyhound: If It isn't moving. Who cares?
Australian Shepherd: First, I'll put all the light bulbs in a little circle...
Poodle: I'll just blow in the Border Collie's ear and he'll do it. By the time he finishes rewiring the house, my nails will be dry...
How may cats does it take to change a lightbulb?
Cats do not change light bulbs. People change lightbulbs. So the real question is:
All Cats answer: "How long will it be before I can expect some light, some dinner, and a massage?"
ALL OF WHICH PROVES, ONCE AGAIN, THAT WHILE DOGS HAVE MASTERS, CATS HAVE STAFF!
