Later they found out he did not like pets and hauled them of or shot them. They were just not allowed to have a pet. My husband loved pets, when we got married and lived on a farm he got a dog first thing since we had room for one, His dad complained every time he came about that dog. Finally my husband got his nerve up at 20 and told his dad we paid our bills and when he was ask you to buy dog food he could decide if we needed a dog.elliekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16140048556385403670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721950935860033351.post-40073713879185453952022-05-23T22:26:03.737-04:002022-05-23T22:26:03.737-04:00Black cats are very clever at sneaking in and hidi...Black cats are very clever at sneaking in and hiding in plain sight.

If Mangey needs more doses, can you prepare the food dish ahead of time and with the medicine sitting in it? One-fourth of a cc or ml of medicine is a really small dose. Could the family vet folks double check the dose calculation? Can you give a dose to Tim to decrease his grumpies? (Just kidding, do not do that!) Thanks for being nice to the animal kingdom.
