Happily married mom to a beautiful spunky 5 year old daughter, stepmom to terrific 18 and 19 year old boys, plus a veterinarian currently available for relief work. I try to answer almost all pet questions based on what I can tell from a post but will always recommend a vet check-up in the end. Anything I answer regarding raising children is based on my own personal experiences. I like being upfront and frank most of the time in my responses and believe a slightly warped and twisted sense of humor is never a bad thing.
