I am only too glad we have a cat-only my Maisy, we found Banjo a very loving new home-and she doesn't need to take pills everyday. The vet gave her a worm pill and that should do her til her next visit. The pic of Metro is hilarious. You can see the determination all over his face. And some people say animals can't speak...Of course, they don't own pets. We know better ;) Glad you got your computer stuff all worked out. I am so illiterate with computers at times so I can relate to your frustration. Especially with cutting and pasting! Shouldn't those things be done with scissors and glue?
