Which cannot be said for OA and a number of other things that plague our best friends. <br /><br />I do believe that animals should not get sick. There should be a law against that. But, sadly, they do. Fortunately RA is not one of the common enemies of our furry pals.DawgBloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03549947489170037163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3030368038490158017.post-30247650978459693252010-05-31T00:53:50.650-04:002010-05-31T00:53:50.650-04:00This whole article actually makes me sad.
