Kathleen, is Wayne still up North?
Kathleen, I hope all is well. Another round of freezing temps!

Zaris was without anesthesia as she just required a light cleaning and was co-operative...with anesthesia it is $ 35-45 ( including nail trim and kiss for momma )
we live in a very small community...there isnt any real employment to speak of...mostly the mill which is approx 30 miles away..the mines which are 1.5- 2 hours drive away...we have had some renewed interest in the house so hopefully it will sell soon...dont like being in a foreign country without my mate LOL
I found a dog the other day with what looked to be a fractured back leg...it was dangling at a strange angle and she could barely walk...was unable to find the owner...called Dr Franklin and he came right away from the next town...the poor dog had a dislocated hip and knee with torn ligament/tendons..turned out it had been hit by a car 4 days previous and the owner did not get any medical help for the dog..we had found him and he refused to have any surgical repair done..I said I would pay the $300 for the surgery but Dr Franklin said at this point the dog would never get the use of the leg back so pain management and rest would be the best thing right now...the owner refused to pay for the meds...so I went with Dr Franklin back to his office, got the meds...paid for the house call/meds and grabbed a taxi and took the meds to the owner..so sad... Dr Franklin said to me..you know, the owner does not care about the dog... its lucky I dont speak Spanish because I would have given that guy a tongue lashing he would never forget...
Dr Frnaklin and his assistant trying to get the hip to pop into place...the knee did
