I hate to ask but I am just so upset and frustrated. A little history (I will try to make this short): In August '05, I began to suffer from a neurological disorder that no doctor I have yet been examined by has ever seen before. I have been to specialist after specialist, and as yet, nobody has...

Am I overreacting?
Posted to: News & Entertainment

Poor Boomer is miserable. One evening last week I noticed some bumps on his chest, by the next evening they were all over his chest, head, and shoulders. He scratched some of the spots raw that day.

Posted to: News & Entertainment
I'm not even sure if Bee Bee is the way to spell it. [8D] Anyway, I noticed a little lump on Murf's leg last night that I never noticed before. It's right under the surface of the skin and it sure as heck feels like a bee-bee. We adopted him from a rescue over a year ago. So my question...
