[nagdu] Banfield Veterinary Services

[Darla Rogers]

Dear5 Cindy Rae,
	Not enough of an advantage when I can walk to this one, but we might
have a talk very soon in that I know more than he thinks I know about my
dogs' health, and I wish schools had more time to teach this.
	I highly recommend the Red Cross Canine First Aid class; it would be
a great hands-on for affiliates or at the national level.
Darla & hardworking Huck

Well, if you are happy with what you have, maybe you ought to stick with it
for a while. I didn't find them to be much, if any, cheaper. The biggest
advantage was that they are open on Sundays and later in the day (9:00 many
days) so you can get in.
