I'm a CSI / Major Crimes Detective. Kids are grown. My wife of 19 years, Gail, and I have three pets (other than each other). They are our kids.
They are Maggie the 7 year old Daucshund chiwawa female... Cricket the 7 year old male beufont macal... and Smokie our 19 year old female cat............
The cat has a problem: 4:00am every morning and she is YEOWLING. Over and Over and Over and Over. She has also lost some weight in the last 2 months even though she eats soft food twice a day. ANY IDEAS
