Hi, Maureen,
Thanks for writing this. I agree wholeheartedly, which is why I'm
trying to talk her out of it. Though, in this case, it seems to be a

afford vet care. So, another problem which SHE will have to solve. <G>
Congratulations on your new addition!
Best,
Suze (who would like to meet you, too.)
