Our first one came to us a geriatric, and the vet advised that we not kennel her (does one kennel cat at catteries?) as she was too old, but better to have a neighbour pop in. That set the stage for how we've done it ever after.megan blogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04555646904983619596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-24505555812130417872012-09-17T08:16:10.707+00:002012-09-17T08:16:10.707+00:00Your 'Bette Davis head' sounds absolutely ...Your 'Bette Davis head' sounds absolutely appropriate -- and terrifying, too...The Broadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04976467218216864644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-88476920828020009792012-09-16T00:53:09.836+00:002012-09-16T00:53:09.836+00:00Those poor terriers!

My brother in the UK was enthusing about how wonderful it was to see fox cubs romping in his garden in Staines, and how cute it was to see the fox who dozes on the front lawn of his house in Worthing on sea, and who is fed by everyone around. I said we shoot them here. Well we would if we had a gun.
