[Moderator's note: I think I'll hold you to that :-) BIG] Hurray! It sounds like we're finally all in agreement. Descent just for the heck of it is totally wrong. And you can rest assured I for one will not be one of those vets who does it `routinely'. But I will do it if the owner strongly feels it's necessary. And that's *not* wrong. Now if we could have just said it that way from the beginning. . . ah well, I'm not always so great at squelching knee-jerk reactions, either! :) Laura [Posted in FML issue 1155]
