[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 2942"] Thank you for the followup. I'm really sorry about Montana. It's so hard to go through something like that, but you went beyond what some folks would. You did everything you could for him. No one could ask for more. > Well we took Montana to the vet > college. They said it looked > really hopeful for him.
