Gosh Cass! We've been busy with vets and animal problems too. Not the rattie boys though, they are all healthy and happy. Skipper the yorkie had bladder stones and $500 later we are not guaranteed they won't reoccur. One horse coliced and we had the have the vet out, of course it was after hours so it was an emergency call out. $350 later the horse is fine. Then the cat got very constipated and off to the vet we went.... It's never ending! Sometimes I wonder why I have animals at all.

Is there something I can do to help? You know I don't live too far from you so if you need something HOLLER! It sounds like you do.

The Brown Recluse spider is nothing to trifle with. Also called the violin spider, they are 7 times more potent than a black widow. I was bitten by one and I suffered through 9 months of abcesses waiting for the poison to completely come out of my body. They would probably kill Dylan!! I'd bomb the house too! I have plenty of room for ratties if you want!

Can Jim and I at least take you out to lunch or something? Hugsssssssssss

Just an update on the 4 boys. The biggest is the brown velvet boy, (Scooter) he weighs in at 18 ounces. He's turned from a standoffish guy to the first one to greet you. The second is the white velvet (Guy) who developed a lovely brown nose. He weighs in at a pound. The third is the blue bershire (Buddy) who is just under a pound. Lastly the little black and white silky who was the giant of the group when we got them, he weighs in at 14 ounces. All are happy and healthy, wonderful friendly boys.
