Are there exceptions for Tuesdays and Saturdays?

It was Natties thread "I just noticed" was the title.

Oh, I thought it was about responsible pet ownership.

You're confusing me Lunar all though that's not hard to do...You asked if there was exceptions to Tuesdays and Saturdays...Not sure what that has to do with being a responsible owner so I thought you were referring to what we were joking about on Natties thread.

Unless Luna perhaps was thinking it might be worth considering our seniors discount card to be avail for use on Tuesdays and Saturdays at a veternarian....or for a discount on worming tablets......lol
Sorry ree
Its an important thread you have started, and not meant to be any sort of joke, so to put it back on track......

For anyone considering a dog, or any pet. The points ree raised are really important if you want to consider yourself a responsible pet owner. Providing good food, water and shelter is not it, its a daily commitment to walking, caring for, training and ensuring your pet is the best possible canine citizen
