    That Phar-Mor was a strange place in some ways. For example, one time when I went in to renew Toby's prescription, the price jumped 50%. They'd switched me from pills I had to cut in half to half-strength pills. They told me that they were doing this for my "convenience" -- and wouldn't switch back on the grounds that that's what "the doctor" had told them. Called the vet, who denied telling the pharmacy anything... vet called the pharmacy, and low & behold, I got what I was supposed to.

    Pharmacy also told me not to worry about it, my health insurance paid for it anyway. Oh yeah? On a dog? Try again.

    No, I didn't switch pharmacies. I would have, but poor Toby died of heart failure before the next renewal would have come up.

    Thanks.

    I do miss the little brat. He used to hop up in my lap while I was operating. Annoyed the big mutt when he did that, since Mickey didn't exactly fit (so he'd go to sleep on the couch outside the shack)

    Mickey didn't quite make 15. His rear legs gave out. He was big, hairy, shed all over the place, and his breath was worse than a fishing pier in Baltimore, but...

    Sorry to hear about that as well. Need to put out a notice on the Butternut Yahoo Group to not let your dog leak on the HF-xV.
