We have a fabulous vet, who has shephered us through a truly horrible round of experiences for our grey cross. He has CHF and IBS. It has been a stressful and expensive year for our household. He will make sure surgery is necessary before we proceed.

As to her name....well....she is a *little* vocal to put it mildly. DH referred to her as Gabby Gus with all of her yowling. She isn't yowling anymore, but she talks a lot. When I told the vet tech her name, the vet heard me and chuckled. He said he couldn't think of a better name for her, and she had been in the office all of about 2 minutes LOL

She is finally out of hiding tonight. The boys were watching tv before bed and she was curled up with them, loving on them.
