Thanks for the laughs, PegB.....laughter is good medicine!!!

Back when I lived in CT I spent a lot of time with my (9) nieces and nephews (haven't been fortunate enough to have my own). One year I took my 4 year old niece Kaylah out for Halloween. She wasn't interested in candy, at every house she'd ask "Do you have a dog?" If he answer was yes, "Can I see him?" If the answer was no, "Well, do you have a cat?"...and on and on. It was so cute and funny. (They now have 4 dogs and 3 cats, lol.) Guess what she wants to be when she grows up? A vet, of course.

Jeez, I miss those kids.

Jim will get a laugh out of it, will have to send it to him...LOL

Reminds me of another story. (I'm on the 'puter while dh roots his fantasy football players on, lol. He's obsessed.) When we were young, my sister and a friend of hers got pet ducks, Tibbles (our male) and Waddles (her friend's female). They were a "couple," lol, and my sister and her friend would get them together occasionally, keep them in a cage together. One nite a raccoon attacked the cage and tore the wire mesh right off the door!! Tibbles got pretty beat up, but he survived, although it was pretty shocking to find him in the morning, all bloody. But he fought off that raccoon (we assume it was a raccoon because we lived with woods behind us and they were always around,trying to get in our trash--plus, what other animal could have torn that wire) and there was not a scratch on his lady-love Waddles. Pretty amazing that a duck fought off one or more raccoons---yup, Tibbles was one tough duck, lol.
