   I don't think it ever worked here.

   Capstar can be bought from your vet (the cheapest way) and the tablet strength   
   goes by the weight of the animal, since it works on cats, too.

   You're very busy and I'm not.  (-:

   I don't hear the sprayer coming around here because I'm sure I'm   
   "dead-to-the-world" by then.

   I've been meanning to call him again, but I have a laptop and a mini tower to   
   fix belonging to relatives.  One of them is a hopeless cause and the other has   
   a little promise, but I can't tell yet.
