Michelle,
Thank you for the beautiful story about Bramble. My
heart was in my throat as I read his story. One of
the reasons I am so frustrated and stressed is that I
don't think Cricket understands what is happening. I
took him to get another IV shot of ImmunoRegulin
yesterday and he must have been feeling better because
he screamed like a wild banshee. I felt HORRIBLE
because I knew he was upset with me because he doesn't
understand that what I'm doing is trying to help.
Maybe an animal communicator is just what I need to
take part of this stress away from both of us.
Thanks again,
Wendy
