<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 19.1875px;">Frequently Asked Questions:</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 19.1875px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 19.1875px;"><b>How much does the spay/neuter surgery cost?</b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 19.1875px;">Cat spay/neuter surgeries are $10. Age-appropriate vaccines are included in these prices. These fees are highly subsidized by generous donors to the Dumb Friends League and by many veterinarians who volunteer their services. They </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 19.1875px;">accept cash, check or charge for payment. Donations greatly appreciated.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 19.1875px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 19.1875px;">Who qualifies?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 19.1875px;">People with limited or fixed incomes who cannot afford to take their pets to a veterinarian qualify for these donor-subsidized services. </span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 19.1875px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 19.1875px;"><b>Who performs the surgeries?</b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 19.1875px;">Veterinarians who are licensed in the state of Colorado perform the surgeries. Some are in private practice and volunteer through the Denver Area Veterinary Medical Society. Others are on the staff of the Dumb Friends League. They have experience spaying and neutering dogs and cats in high-volume settings. They are assisted by a certified veterinary technician.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 19.1875px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 19.1875px;"><b>What do I need to know before I bring my pet for surgery?</b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 19.1875px;">- Do not feed your animal after midnight the evening before surgery. Water is OK. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 19.1875px;">- We operate on a first-come, first-served basis and do NOT offer appointments.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 19.1875px;">- The number of females and males we can take in varies at each clinic. Please note that this may mean that a person's pet in line behind you could receive surgery even if yours does not because we have reached our daily limit of females or males. In this case, you will receive a rain check.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 19.1875px;">- Bring your pet(s) by 7:30AM. the day of the clinic. <b>Wait time and check-in time can be anywhere from 15 minutes to one hour, so please allow for that in your schedul</b>e. You will be given an estimated pick-up time for later that same day when you drop off your pet.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 19.1875px;">- Cats must be in carriers or other secure containers; we prefer cats to be in separate carriers. You can bring up to four cats per household. Separate carriers for each cat are preferable and should include a familiar towel or blanket.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 19.1875px;">- Most days we are able to help multiple animals from the same household. However, on busier days, you may be asked to return another time to have your additional pets' surgeries performed. We try to accommodate as many patrons as we can. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 19.1875px;">- Although it is not required, you are urged to have your pets seen by a veterinarian in advance of the clinic to rule out any health problems that would make surgery unadvisable. We do not perform extensive pre-surgical examinations or blood analysis. If your pet has any medical issues (such as kidney, liver or heart problems) or is older than 7 years, there are increased risks associated with any operation. Please note that if for any reason we determine that spay/neuter surgery at our clinic would not be appropriate, we will not accept your pet for the procedure. You will be urged to see your own veterinarian. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 19.1875px;">- Generally speaking, post-surgery veterinary care is not necessary. However, if a problem occurs that requires medical attention, you will be given emergency phone numbers to call. Post-surgery home-care instructions include the appropriate telephone numbers. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 19.1875px;">- We accept cash, check or charge for payment. Donations greatly appreciated.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 19.1875px;">- Please make sure someone will be at home with your pet for the rest of the day following surgery. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 19.1875px;">- Pick up time can vary from morning to late afternoon, please do not schedule appointments on the day you plan on attending.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 19.1875px;">- You will receive home-care instructions when you drop off your pet.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254712145784180441.post-30325242531971915542013-02-04T12:01:00.001-07:002013-02-04T12:15:34.094-07:00Georgia O'Keeffe Comes to Denver Feb. 10<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 16px;">While there are many Chinese New Year celebrations around Denver in 2013, we consider the best to be the</span><b style="background-color: white; line-height: 16px;"> FREE LION dances at the Far East Center.</b><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 16px;"> This </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 16px;">year's show is<b> </b></span><b style="background-color: white; line-height: 16px;">Sunday, Feb. 10 at noon.</b></span><div>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 16px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Boulder's Sholin Hung Mei Kung Fu Assoc. always breathes humor, cunning and charm into the mythological Lion beasts. Be on the<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 16px;"> lookout for Dancing Lions as they visit </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444;"> Far East Center's shops and restaurants for Bai Nian - an impromptu series of performances meant to welcome in the New Year with good luck and fortune.</span></span></div>

No worries. Catch one of the Association's Lion Dances held at <span style="background-color: white; color: #444444;">various restaurants and Chinese New Year events around Denver. <a href="http://www.shaolinhungmei.org/cal.html">Check out their schedule her</a>e.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 16px;" /></span><div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 16px;">Be advised that the celebrations are firecracker fueled, and it is pretty crowded event. </span>For some of us, that's part of the charm. <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 16px;">For others, it is the ninth ring of Hell. Most older kids love explosives and they'll love this event. Consider using earplugs for sensitive ears.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 16px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 16px;">Other tips? Wear red, the color of the New Year. </span><span class="event-description" style="background-color: white; line-height: 16px;">M</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 16px;">ake sure you get there early (333 S. Federal) but don't even try to park in the Far East Center lot. Don't even think about it, really. (You can thank us later for that tip.) You will have to find neighborhood street parking, and those spots fill up quickly, so be prepared to hoof it. </span></span><div>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 16px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 16px;">Leave time to </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 16px;">peruse the fun Far East Center shops and acquire some basic Feng Shui accessories, dragon and snake figurines or delicious teas. </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 16px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 16px;">There are plenty of good restaurants at Far East Center, but don't miss the affordable and amazingly delish Celestial Bakery. (Cash only). Try the BBQ pork buns, addictive sesame balls stuffed with red bean paste, or custard tarts and cookies. </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 16px;"><b>The Far East Center, 333 S.
