I know giw that works, too. The first time I took Rocky to TED he was
still semi-feral. The vet did a minimal exam, gave him a long-acting
anitbiotic for the abcess leg wound, which was the readon for the
visit, and guess made a guess as to his age. Over the course of the
next three or four years his age never changed, each time they revised
it downward. So he was 6-8 years old the entire four years I knew him
;-)
