Some animals deserve the care and devotion.

Yes, aging pets are tough but the rewards we receive are many. Our last dog made it to 15 1/2 years old.

Not to worry - the cat food was a last resort this morning. I picked up canned dog food on the way to work. I never knew there were so many kinds of canned dog food!

She showed signs of a bacterial infection, so we are treating that and going from there. I hope it's that easy.
