But.... "what passes for normal...?" Or shouldn't one inquire? Annette, oh do I ever! In fact, that's one of my fav movies, my vhs version is SO old it won't really work right, and I keep forgetting to look for it on dvd! Robin, I’m SO glad! But…. “what passes for normal…?” Or shouldn’t one inquire?

Annette, oh do I ever! In fact, that’s one of my fav movies, my vhs version is SO old it won’t really work right, and I keep forgetting to look for it on dvd!

The vet says a few slurps won't hurt him. Must be true, he's 17 this month.... still going strong.... if only 2 years old mentally....
