One of my cats�the 18-lb one�is about due for his annual shots and exam�. Now you have me imagining that I am sitting in the waiting room with a cat carrier in my lap when the doctor calls "Mr. Blankenship" and both I and some other guy with a dog get up . . . _____ �On at least one past occasion this task has involved chasing him through the clinic when he saw an opportunity to make a dash for it: he doesn't weigh 18 lbs. because he is _fat_, but because he is big enough that he can stand on the floor on his hind legs and look into the sink. -- Ronn! :) God bless America, Land that I love! Stand beside her, and guide her Thru the night with a light from above. From the mountains, to the prairies, To the oceans, white with foam� God bless America! My home, sweet home. -- Irving Berlin (1888-1989)
