I don’t think I refreshed the bit about the cat, he still had another life left, made a good recovery, then got into eating 3 pottles of meat a week. He then loss his voice, another $250 at the vet for thyroid problem, tablets helped, voice didn’t return, another $70 to the vet to tell me a growth in his neck slowly closing his wind pipe. Well on Wednesday another vet visit, one he didn’t survive, he couldn’t breathe, so was put to sleep. Sad day for all the kids and other family. He now resides in the freezer awaiting a burial in the the pet cemetery at the bach. Reached 16 years with very little health probs, the dog cannot figure out where his mates gone
