Aww, thank you!!

Phred, in any case, Tubby and Peanut have their ID's.

KK, I normally ask the vet to give him as little as possible, and will this time too. I'm glad he's a decent guy and very skilled in what he does. He had an orange boy himself, and he knows how much I love Fister and how close John was to Fister too, so I'm sure he'll do his best.

Yes, I will have to ring him before 9.00 and arrange the visit. It's a strange feeling... I have never made a vet appointment this late, but then - I don't have so much time to worry.

I have to admit, I had an extra glass of wine with my dinner to calm my nerves. Fister doesn't have a clue of course. I will certainly spend a lot of time to cuddle with Fister tonight.

Now, unless I get any qualified replies to whether Fister is allowed to drink or not, I think I'll leave half a glass of water for him in the bedroom, and empty the Pet Mate. I know humans are allowed to drink a bit.
