Gary, of course we will be praying for Michael and you, too! Norton(15) and Molly(14) are getting the Cosequin mixed in with their food. I think it has helped them with some stiffiness they have from time to time. Norton and Molly also enjoy their heated cat bed(well, so do ALL the Clan Cats, they take turns in it). That was so nice of phesina to offer you the steps!!
