I hope all of your pets get well. We just this week had to 'put to sleep' our precious old little schnauzer, Buster. He suddenly couldn't move his hind legs in spite of all kinds of med. help such as steroids & the like. On xray it was seen that sev. of his spinal discs had fused from arthritis, the pads were worn away from others & they were rubbing together, & bony spurs were on others. The vet was amazed he'd gotten along so well till now . He was far pass surgical help & in much pain. We don't know his age as his orig. owners moved away & just left him behind. ( there'll be a special place in hell for people who are so rotten to animals) We had just gotten a shepherd mix male dog, 2 yrs old. 'Bono'.... from our next door neighbors who were moving & didn't want him anymore. ( I'd called their vet, He hadn't been seen since getting his puppy shots from them & was a wild child, we couldn't even catch him for days to get him to the vet to be neutered & updated on shots). Have another female dog, Sammy & 2 cats that had also belonged to these same neighbors..they weren't going to neuter them either nor give them the shots. The cats own the downstairs & the dogs upstairs as they don't mix well . Pat Hawkins

Pat,
How is Bob? I hope no news is good news? Bruno is on a list with other mastiffs..... he's only 4 and dying from cancer.
