A Sad story I heard today ..........

My Daughter came over today to trim Caleb, our dog, and told of an incident that had happened to her this weekend.

A friend of hers, a truck driver, Jeff, had called her last evening and told her about his weekend. He had contracted to haul a 32 foot, Glastron A-23, twin screw boat, and deliver it to a man in Minot, North Dakota.

He made the trip, no problems, delivered the boat, and while talking to the new owner, Jeff noticed a snake, in a cage, and inquired about him.

The owner said he had the snake, a Boa, for three years, and recently it had seemed lethargic and he was concerned about the Boa's health, and due to some other pets he had, and some conflicts, he was going to have to find a new home for the Boa.

Jeff said he would take the Boa, as he had previously had snakes, and would gladly give it a new home.

He returned home, and one of his first  stops was to take his Boa to Dr. Harrington, a veterinarian he had used before. He took the snake into his office and explained how he had ended up with it and some of his symptoms. The vet took the snake back into his examination room, and after a short period of time, came back out from the examination room.

Jeff looked at the vet and waited to hear his prognosis,

Jeff, he has "Reptile  Dysfunction."
