RE: What do you have in your medical bag?

[Dr. William B. Neff]

Lynne Weber sent a post about what she puts in her Canine First Aid Kits and I can tell you that they are wonderful. If you want to take a chance on winning one in the BARC LOC Challenge Fundraiser, you can still send me a check for your tickets. It's Item #39!! Just be sure to send me a note telling me how much you are sending and how you'd like me to distribute your tickets. I'll make sure that your tickets are in the drawing even if you check doesn't arrive on time. Anything to get more money for BARC and LOC!!! Her is the web site for the fundraiser: http://www.overthefence.com/raffle/BARC/

I'm still waiting for an avalance of checks.....
