The dog is scared of the people and has evaded their attempts to capture him. Poor puppy! must be traumatic. I recall when Sugar, my little brittany/spainiel got infected after I left my ex. He spent $1600 on an emergency hysterectomy. She's now 12, and slowing down, but still loves m e to pieces when I see her once a month. I'm glad she's still with us, and will miss her a lot when she passes on. Mag _________________________________________________________________ Shopping online saves time, gasoline, and stress.
