Teresa, best wishes to Lucky Man. (Let's hope he'll do his name proud.)
Leona, now that you are feeling better, I can tell you about my cat Nesley. She was having some assorted issues - didn't eat and we took her to the vet. Regular tests and many $$ later and no results. NOW we are heading into special tests and many many more $$ and still not sure. So NOW we are going to the specialist and many many many more $$ and we found out that she had cancer. By now I was so far into the diagnosis, I could not deny the operation. Well, it turned out to be an open and shut case and for $2,200 I had a dead cat.
A few days later I got the paw print of my dead cat in the mail on a modeling clay hangy thingy. COLOR ME P****D OFF AND VERY SURPRISED.
Pssst, but every time I hear of someone not surviving surgery, I always wonder if they took a foot print. (I am so going to the hot place lol)
