Thanks for the link although you seem to disagree with me a bit. I must confess that I am given to anthropomorphization of my pets at an emotional level. But I never ever forget that my pets are non-human animals and their needs are indeed distinct from mine. So I am very, very careful about medication, nutrition and their "animal" nature. Hi Frank.
