Ken McMillanDan,
I know what you mean about our beasts being family. My wife and I have 5 dogs (English Mastiff, 2 boxers, a boston terrier, and a chihuahua), a cat, and 2 birds and no children. I call it my catholic pet family. They went with us to St. Louis and back to Arizona a our constant companions. I also make pets part of my life by fixing them. I am a veterinarian practicing for 23 1/2 years. Peoples pets in reality have put a roof over my head and fed my family. The human/ pet bond is amazing. I hope all goes well with your wife and her medical journey. Don't know where you are going and why, but god bless you. When we went to Barnes, it was an amazing place full of wonderful caring people. I would classify it as one of the best medical centers in America for just about any medical issue.
Best,
Kmac
