[QUOTE="Star*, post: 436962, member: 4964"] Well WHAT a coincidence - I have been outside with all the furkids and MISSED the call for the interview for Animal control officer - :censored2: was a deal where the man said on voice mail - you must call back between this hour and this hour for interviews this day and this day. (SLAPS HEAD SEVERAL TIMES) I had my phone plugged in charging because I have a really horrible phone - one my fourth or fifth battery and I'm SO done with ATT, not having my calls go immediatly to voice mail. Anyway - Olivia got a bath - and scrubbed, spent the night again. And apparently the wormer worked because WOW is she full of life and vinegar! lol. Not the droopy, mellow, draggy girl she was.
