this goes back to 7 yrs ago  when i lost my buddy, odie (cat)
i know, if you know of the cartoon, garfeild and odie you're probably
saying to yourself, "he named his cat after a dog?"
long and different story, but yeah, i did name my cat after a dog.
odie grew up to be a big 20 pound (hardly any fat), gentle guy.
when his time came near, it was a long weekend and of the three vets
clinics in this city, none of them had a vet on call.
odie's symptoms were, he'd be walking fine and the next minute he'd just
colasped. after a minute or two of just laying there, odie got up and
acted like nothing happed. even eating, while eating he'd colasped,
minute or two later he'd be back up and start eating again like nothing
happened.

i've never phoned a vet to see what it was that odie had being that
talking about odie is a pretty touchy subject.
odie's been gone 7 yrs and we shared a special bond. odie and i got each
other the day i watched his momma give birth to him.
