I am so glad that Brutus is doing better Amanda. Give him another kiss and hug from me please.

Paige, see if there is a dental collage near you. They are usually MUCH cheaper. Or find a clinic that works on a sliding scale.

Dyan, Gibby does not sound horribly untrained. But it does sound like you do let him have his way in deciding what he will do more than what you want him to do. And I understand the situation.

The Gut buster: Chocolate cake large box of cooking pudding 1 package of cream cheese 2 tubs of cool whip 1 cup of powdered sugar 3 cups of milk. Make cake in a 13x9 pan.

Chill after cooking. Then take the cream cheese, 1 tub of cool whip and 1 cup
