And that, my friends, sucks!!!

Sounds like he needs to be the guest of honor at something
like an old fashioned blanket party or something similar.

 RW> SOme of the vaccinations you can get at Farm King or other

YEpp, was thinking more of getting them an administering
them yourself.  IF OMaha/cOuncil bluffs has a farm king
check 'em out.  That might save you some $$$ when it comes
time for the distemper/parvo boosters, etc.
