[Gpdd] HEALTH - Archie and Hamish

[Penny Charlesworth]

Julie,

I am so relieved to read your good news about both Archie and Hamish. It was 
just as well that you had all the remedies to hand after your scary episode 
with Hamish and were able to treat Archie so quickly. Despite the vet's 
diagnosis it still sounded like poisoning to me and it appears to have been 
the answer. Thanks to Peter's Piggy Potions
both your precious piggies will live to tell the tale.

Everyone should have a copy of this wonderful book.

I hope the kitty litter is now under lock and key!

Best wishes from Penny and the Piggyfriends.
