There is a large crow sitting on the roof of my house, hopping about and
making a very strange noise. Are crows like cats? Will it come and play?
Will it want a staring contest?
Are crows good to eat??

(dad: thanks so much for all the kind comments, messages and suggestions about Pooch's
allergy problem over the last couple of days. they have given me and the wife
some more ideas to think about... we are going to do some research into the
side effects of steriods and probably also get a second opinion from a vet
at a different surgery. we both hate the thought of potentially shortening Pooch's
life by giving him a drug that causes liver damage, but we don't want him to
suffer with his allergies all the time either. we'll let you know how it goes... :-) )
