Hi Les,
Please assure Marcie that she doesn't need to worry about the quality of the meds if you do find a CDN source. They're all the same compounds though they may have a different name. My s-i-l is a physician in Ottawa (currently the acting coroner and boy howdy, does she have stories to tell!) and we've talked often about getting prescriptions filled in Canada.
You were wise to take the filter equipment with you. That's a big chunk of the pool expense. And I'm glad the 'kids' could come. There's trauma you didn't have to suffer, the thought of having to place them elsewhere. We have a 15 1/2 year old in our pack. He wobbles a little but he's still upright. Been with us since he was 8 months old.
I'm thinking about you,
