They often have pet treats at the vets I bring my brood to, but never anything for the ones who pay the bill. <br /><br />Deciding to enjoy the scenery was the smartest thing to do. I'm amazed you finally found it. Where we live the addresses are so screwy that if someone asks me for directions, I can't tell if the place they want is down the block or in the next town. <br /><br />Congratulations on the new puppy!!!mary.anne.gruen@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16839396134411360643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7693448419918855407.post-92086654718690848162011-11-23T04:27:27.692-08:002011-11-23T04:27:27.692-08:00e...that's cats!
