Dear Stu,
You are so cute!:) My mother's Westie was called Morag, she was a cute wee
pain in the rear. Mother would cook up a small steak for Morag's dinner and
give us mince. When Morag got sick, Mum took her to the vet, who diagnosed
cancer. She spent several hundred dollars for her pet. When Morag died,
Mom had a family funeral for her and had her buried in the pet cemetary to
the tune of $150. When it came to her pet, money was no object. Marge:)
