We Share Our Mother's Health

Does anybody else's mom send them weird-ass e-mails like this about their dog? Probably not.

Hi Sniffy,

I took leroy to see the vet. He is terribly itchy and Dan gave me 1/2 hr lecture on fleas. I told him that I was brought up with fleas and that leroy had allergy and not fleas. He said yes, but if one flea bites him he might be allergic and scratch himself (for the next 4 months)!!!. I told him that a flea would be dead in days, so we went on and on until I gave up. Anyway he tried to talk me into buying him the most expensive food on the market that he didn't know the price.

Then he gave me some itchy pills that I said I would not give him every 4 hrs. 4. Then he said he would give me 2 every 12 hrs. to give him. It's a steroid so might do liver, kidney and other damage.

I asked him how old was leroy and he said his first visit was in 97! that means he is 11? your painting is done in 99 but you said you did it from a picture.

Anyway I thought you might find it funny. I always thought leroy was 12+ yrs. Take care, Love Mom


Question#1:Brought up with Fleas?
Question#2: Who the eff is Dan?
Question#3: What the eff are 'itchy pills?'
Question#4: Apparently I used to be a painter?

Anyhow, all of this reminds me of The Beatles for some reason. My mom was never a big fan of The Beatles. She liked The Doors.
