Johanna, I'm sorry about Dakky. One never knows, do we, when it is the right time to haul them to the vets office? I'm glad you did it when you did. I don't envy you with the medicating part, as I find it almost impossible, even with the good suggestions, to medicate my two. I can't imagine 7 to be responsible for! My dogs are much easier, although more prone to vet visits, than my cats.


Jo, has your vet or doctor given you any words of warning about the litter boxes and scratches from the cats? Mimi became an indoor/outdoor kitty when I was pregnant with Helen because Daddy wasn't too interested in working on the litter box. Thankfully, she has done fine with that routine, and has a litterbox when she doesn't want to go outdoors, these days. My girl is almost 15 years old! I also seem to remember that they warned me about scratches. I'm just curious. Sometimes I think the cat/baby stuff is mostly "old wives tales", but I don't really know for sure.
