I do believe Michael Janke is correct in his explination of the prepuce. In male dogs and cats, it is also called a prepuce. I learned that, as well as a lot more information, while I was in school to become a vet assistant. To Limejello, you made me wake up the baby, that was sleeping on my lap, when I read your story. I was turning all different colors trying to hold in my laughter, I had to keep wiping my eyes, because I was laughing so hard. Luckly I didn't wake up the rest of the house. BRAVO, FANTASTIC. If anyone has ever made or tried to make the gravy, you know how hard it actually is to make. I have indeed made it and I found this story made the nastiness of the whole adventure a little more bearable. to Bob C. as mentioned above I have made your gravy. A Great big THANK YOU is in order. I made the gravy for a 2 yr old male MF rescue, who was so stressed out from the move that he refused to eat. I had to force feed him for 2 days before he started to get real excited about hearing the microwave beep. I took him to the vet soon after he stoped eating, 1.3 lbs, one month later he went back to the vet for a check up and a shot, 2.1 lbs. In that month he also started to eat dry kibble along with the gravy. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I know the gravy saved his life. BTW, this is Tazs' third and last home. June and the fabulous furry five Sacks- Snoopy how did you get out of the cage? Aurora- mom can I hid all the socks today Amanda- Why didn't you guys tell me about the bedroom earlier? Taz- mom can I have sopme more of that good stuff you call "gravy" Snoopy- darn, mom wired the cage shut, we can't get out sacks. [Posted in FML issue 2752]
