[Ansteorra] Gophers in the Garden

[Connie Marie Carroll]

Oh I get my kids vaccinated every year even though thou never leave the
house except for vet visits but i still won't let them at the gopher. Rabies
is just too nasty a thing to mess with. Besides, that's what Dad's are for!!

YOu need to watch for when the rural vets in your area do "Rabies Roundups"
where they'll do a lower-cost rabies innoculation.  Although most of the
time you can just buy the vaccine from a feed store and have someone who
knows how give the shots for you to save some $$ too.

Vaccinate those cats against rabies!  It's always possible for one to scoot
out a door when you least expect it, and it's a horrible way to see one of
your little pals die.  And, once vaccinated, you can let them hunt gophers
in the basement to your heart's content (and theirs).
