People have no compassion any more. They just like to PRETEND they do. Soon as that animal they called a part of their family, "like a child, I'm a doggy momma/pappa", is not a convenient any more it is off to the rain bow bridge to get a vet to do their own dirty work for them.

People like to think the whole world started over the day they were born, even if it was yesterday. Truth is NOTHING NEW has really been invented in a100 years. Like moving the drawers around in a kitchen, they just jumble the dictionary renaming stuff, remaking the same old movies. Facists are now Antifa, Black Panters are now BLM, commies are Democrats... sick is a pandemic, opression if slowing the curve, good is sick. People who couldn't sign their own name in cursive are explaining to me how to RUN their guns.
What ever, just keep it all off my lawn and we'll be fine.

Mine is smart enough for my purposes…I'm at the vet with my dog. It's all good, just annual shots.
Looking around the room, my vet graduated from vet school when I was 2 years old.
Wonder if he has a smart phone?

Vet schools have changed a LOT! Today vet schools have got to try and keep the animal rights extremists out of the schools because when they enroll they demand that the schools not teach various operation procedures on live animals and that it be done on computers instead. This results in huge increased costs for the schools in new software -- and worse -- it results in YOUR pet being the first live animal the vet has ever operated on! Do you what your beloved pet to be their first experiment? It also results in many new vets coming out of schools that have an extremist animal rights viewpoint and being hyper critical of how you take care of your pet -- including increased costs for the pet owner because they insist the owner go to heroic and expensive steps to maintain their pets health!

I wonder what people doctor school must be like these days.
My last two regular docs recently hung up their stethoscopes, and now I have a new guy under 50 years old.
He asked what I did for a living before retirement. I told him and he retorted that he wanted to do that as well, but he was unable to make the grades in school, so he became an MD instead.
Geez! The new docs must be dumb and lazy . . .

Livin in a college town hot lookin women friendly talk to me more now at age 72 than when I was college age in the same town
I had one of the first "semi" smart phones. I was able to code in my own ringtone b4 theycould be changed easily.
One that I wrote was the "Darth Vader" theme for my ex wife.
One day after our divorce she called and the ring tone played.
My son who was withe me asked who was calling, I told him mom.
We still chuckle about it when we hear that tune. :)

When I visit my sister, she always asks if "I am looking."
I tell her women my age are too old for me. And, I'll not have a female companion younger than my daughters.

I don't have a "smart" phone. I'm an electronics guy. Those phones are easily hacked and easily tracked. Internet addicts need them to stay connected 24 / 7, but never admit it. Also, most people seem to have a much harder time finding photos in smart phones for some reason.

Just curious, what do you mean, "do their own dirty work for them"?
Has he passed a law that you can only carry two stones At a time.
I not only don't have a smartphone, which I'm to dumb to use, I don't even have a flip phone. Wifie has a smartphone given to her by our kids that she uses for phone calls.
I use the landline.

My wife works at a hospital. The retired nurses took it upon themselves to put pen to paper and write beautiful letters to every employee towards the end of the pandemic.
Many of the current employees could not read the letters because they were in cursive! Lol.
We now have a secret code.

Kind of a tossup when it comes to age.
I've always thought that doctors (and vets) should be older than me so I might benefit from their decades of experience. But with each passing year, those players are getting harder to find!
On the positive side of hiring a youngster, perhaps there are new developments in modern medicine that were simply unknown last century. So what's the solution, refresher training? Interesting to me... Last time I saw my own doctor (human guy for me, and no youngster, probably went to med school last century), he openly pulled out his cell phone and googled something I was asking him about. Part of me was thinking I could've done that myself for free at home, but I also felt like he was able to admit he's not all-knowing and willing to see if there was any new info we might consider in deciding on a course of action.
On a final note (and back to vets), our cat doctor in his (40s I would guess) takes good care of our aging Calico. I can't help feeling, though, like he should've suggested lactose intolerance when giving her pills in a little ball of cheese made her (ahem) "unwell," for months. We stopped the dairy and she's fine now. Further, she stopped sneezing when I started vacuuming her 2-3 times a week (which she LOVES). Perhaps an older vet might've known to suggest that older cats who sleep 16-20 hours a day might get dusty.
Old/young, we gotta work together.
