travel tech toys image

I am staying at the Ritz for one night (for my birthday) in 2 weeks. I know tipping is involved for probably everything and I don't want to tip too little and look like an amateur.
How much should I tip for things? And what type of things should I tip for?
Answer
* When I started travelling, I had to learn this. I will admit I was not a generous tipper at the beginning.
* Waiter / Waitress at the restaruant: 15-20% of the bill
* Bartender - tips by the drink. Same as a normal bar
* Bellman - Usually $1 to $2 per bag if stored, or if he/she helps you transport to your room.
* Room Service - 15% - 20% of the bill (if service charge is not included)
* Maid - Some people tip the maids a couple of bucks a day by leaving money for them
* Valet Parking - usually a few bucks each time the valet gets your car
* Consierge - A few bucks depending on what he/she does for you
* Special Services - if a hotel offers any special services like a salon, shoe shine, etc, sometimes you tip them based on the service.
People who don't get tipped at all:
* Servers (if meals are included as part of a banquet, wedding, convention or conference function and paid by the host team). For resturants, see above.
* Housekeeping and Engineering if there is a problem with something in your room (i.e.odd smells, unclean sheets, water faucet leaks, TV or internet issues, etc).
* A/V techs used to set up microphones, projectors, lighting, internet, etc for conventions, conferences, or special functions
* Fitness center attendants (unless they do something special or personal training for you)
* Lifeguard or swimming pool attendant (unless the person does something special like inflate pool toys).

Recommendations for a vet who specializes in toy breed dogs in Alexandria, VA.?

I am looking for a good vet in the Washington DC area, I live in Alexandria but would be willing to travel a little ways if necessary to find the right vet. My chihuahua needs to be fixed and I want to find a good, reliable doctor that specializes in treating small breed dogs. I'll be sure to give points for best answer. Thanks!
Answer
any vet can preform the surgery, your dogs anatomy is not any different than a 100+ pound dog, the only difference is they require less anesthesia which is dosed by weight, and while under anesthesia they can not regulate there body temperature (any animal) smaller dogs tend to get cold faster than the larger dogs, IV fluids help metabolize the anesthesia and flush the kidneys and liver. There are different types of anesthesia and you can ask the vet what they are going to use and how they monitor the dog under surgery, what you want is to find a clinic that has the vet doing the surgery and a skilled tech monitoring the dog, as well as the tech staying with the dog until they are awake to extubate, there is a small chance if the dog is extubated too soon they will get aspiration pneumonia.
Complications are rare in surgery.
