I understand all the dog and cat stuff... My poor little Cocker Spaniel went through a bed spell last week with his back. Had him to the vet for the laser treatment, and some updates on his anti-inflammatory drugs. He's almost back to his normal self now after a week of being carried in and out to answer nature's call. His first day back on the healthy side, I was in my recliner with Pepper on my lap and licking my hand. Guess it's his way of saying thanks. Girlfriend was telling everyone that now she has 2 old crippled dogs to take care of and when one of us dies she'll probably have to have the other one put to sleep!!!!!
