Keep an eye for more info. I haven't had a chance to post all of it yet. I think it is useful info, how could we get through all this without our "best friends" for support. They need assistance as much as we do!

They sure do. I will keep an eye out for your post!

I couldn't do this unemployment thing without my pets. I will literally buy their food before mine if I can only afford one.

If your pet needs prescription drugs, ask for a prescription from your vet and fill it at your local pharmacy. With HelpRx Pet drug discount card, you can save a bundle. Click here to get your free copy. http://www.petrxcards.com

I only wish I had known this information before my dear "Snorkels" kicked the bucket two weeks ago.

He was such a cute pootchie. They said I died his hair too much - "I don't think so!"

This is a joke, right?

MY SNORKELS, A JOKE???

Oh my dear Desperate, how could you think my little man was a joke. We need to talk. PM me. Talk to MaryKay. She understands me.

Marian, please help me here.

For heaven's sake, had I known Snorkels could have acquired an animal script for Vicodin, he would have faded away without pain.

Snorkels, I miss you!

We are sorry for your loss though what do you mean that you "dyed" his hair?

I am very grateful that I have my fur babies during what could be considered a crisis time of my life and like with what Americatheneedy said their food and everything else comes before my own...

Thank you Marian. You are a sweet person.

Actually I was just funnin' Desperate. I knew why she thought it was a joke, which stemmed from my dying Snorkels' hair. Not too many people would dye their pet's hair but I did a few times to make up for his patchy hair loss.

We changed my little pup's name from Snagged to Snorkels soon after we adopted him. We found him all bunched up in one of those coiled barbed fences, hence the permanent loss of hair shortly afterwards.

Being in the fashion industry as I am, I tend to lean towards the absurd when admonishing a tale.

Hugs and kisses to Desperate... and I miss you "Crimson Bouffant" Snorkels!

I'm sorry for your loss...

Alone, I take it all back. You must have felt miserable. What color was he when he died?

Not counting his hair, kind of yellow/gray after a few hours.

This reminds me of :

Sorry for your loss Alone

Yes, sorry Alone. Sounds like your Snorkles is in a better place. Wish this thread would follow suit.

Okay, then I'll have to inflect Scratches back onto you all...
