[nagdu] Monty at the vet

[Cindy Ray]

Of course not. It is similar to your child having an injury. I'm glad you did not refuse to have him sedated though. Wonder how that happened.

My husband is staying home with him today so I can go into work.  He is self employed and has a much more flexible work schedule than I do. I didn't ask him to do this, he insisted.
