Re: OT-hygiene for cats and dogs...

At our vet's - you hand your animal over at the door and they take care
of the rest. Not Sugar - I call and let them know we're coming and I
bring her back to the exam room and hold her down while she gets
examined and s-h-o-t-s. This year she has to have her teeth cleaned and
they knock them out for that so they'll do it all when she's conked out.
A wuek from Friday - it will not be fun regardless. And she will be
furious w/ me. I hear thunder - pray for rain. (here, not in the
Midwest).
