Happy birthday soon, precious girl; hard to find a female Orangie! My boy just turned 17, and he wishes you many more healthy years. It does his heart good to think he can achieve a few more years also. Stay warm, tell your Mom that my vet said to sprinkle a small amout of human glucosomine chrondroitin in your food (I crush my pill up with the back of a spoon and just give him a pinch in his meals) and mix it in, to help with arthritis.
