Boomer Brown, rest in peace



Here's a site for animal lovers of all domestic stripes: VeterinaryPartner.com. They say that the site provides "reliable, up-to-date animal health information", and "they" are "veterinarians and experts of the Veterinary Information Network."

My vet recommended Vet Partners -- it has well-written and clear information about many aspects of animal health. Nice links to external sites. You can search by disease or browse by species (cats, dogs, reptiles, and small mammals).


this post in memory of Boomer, 4-7-1993 to 12-19-2006. Rest in peace.
