So sorry about Holly, Budsmoker. That breaks my heart for you. I know how attached people can get to their pets, even in a short time. They're like babies. Is there any hope you can get another pretty soon? That was really nice that y'all were trying to get her fixed so she didn't add to the surplus animal population.

That anesthesia story scares me. I have a nine-year-old dog, Daisy, who's my little darling baby. And she needs to be taken in to have her teeth cleaned, which they do under anesthesia. I've been putting off taking her in. And now I want to blow it off completely. I truly would need to be hospitalized if anything ever happened to Daisy. Tootsie or anyone else, is there any reassurance y'all can provide? Is that 3/350 pet anesthesia mortality record accurate? That's so scary that I don't think I can consider it!
