How are you surviving the Favre retirement? Wearing black?
Funny you should ask if I am wearing Black....Yes I am. Seriously. I am devestated. I already miss him so much but thats only being selfish of me. He gave us 17 years of his life getting beat up, in the spotlight, being a hero, and leaving some HUGE footsteps that other QB's will only dream of walking in. So I understand his decision fully and respect it. Doesnt mean i like it tho One thing came of it all tho....my lil packers helmet tatoo on my ankle with the #4 on it can be completed.... 1991-2008

As for the Lepto....yes he has treated 5 cases in the last few years and that makes me nervous. He said it has been found in standing water, ponds, rivers, and lakes even. Well I am in Michigan 5 lakes surround me Im about 2 miles from Lake Erie, and my home is not even 5 blocks from a large yucky River. Canadian Geese fly over my house everyday day in day out from the river to the lake so for me I really felt more comfy vaccinating for it. Last year with only having the Fort Dodge version available I passed....This one seems to be much more reliable and safe. Plus your right i have an OUTSTANDING vet that I trust 100% he helped in my decision a lot and does not judge either way you go. I like that. He stated many times either way you go is fine with me Nice to know he is hearing what I am saying and my thoughts matter. He also said he appreciates the concern and research and wishes all pet owners showed such concern He makes ya feel like your NOT just another pet owner.
