Sorry to hear that, Dave. I've got a cat that's either 16 or 17 years old. She's actually in really good shape, but lately there have been a few signs of ageing. I know the decline can be fast, and I'm not looking forward to losing Patches, who's been a part of my life for the past 11 years. Hope everyone's okay in your family. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
