How wonderful y'all are, CG, with your love of these of Gods creatures.

I'm constantly amazed at how well a 3-legged dog or cat will adapt. Our local vet, Rene, simply will not put a young, healthy animal down for only having a limb that needs to be amputated.

That's how I got Luv....and I've gone to the clinic and seen upwards of half a dozen cats around the office with only 3 legs....and the next time, there are new ones, or fewer ones, or more....she manages to find homes.

I gotta tell ya though....one time when I went in, Rene came walking out with a duck wrapped in towels.....I said, "Oh my God, Rene...you didn't"!!! She turned to me and began laughing....."Nope---he's still got two legs---he's been given a bath to get the oil spill off him!"

When Luv has an appointment with Rene, they wind up playing on the floor together....I've had Luv for 7-1/2 years and she still remembers and loves Rene....and Rene does likewise! It's a hoot to watch other people watching these two in the floor knowing that those being watched know that Rene is the vet!!

That is a great story. My vet is like that too...she really is a lady James Harriott..makes friends with the pets first..loves em up a lot befor she has to go to work on them. The " spa" where my collection goes has 3 lady vets and all the techs are gals too...

It is interesting how many women are vets nowadays.

Europe ceased to be the center of the civilized world a hundred years ago. It is valuable for history lessons, but holds no promise of anything good in the future.

It can always be used as a bad example...

When you ladies refer to me as "poor," are you referring to my financial status, attitude or generally pathetic condition?

Yes...
