Hi Terry, YES !!! Pumpkin Head is something else ! But I indulge his every whim and desire . Sad to read about your little "Furball", I can sympathize. I feed "strays" and one in particular was my fav, I named him "Snaggletooth", he was a strong macho male, appeared like he had been a quite a few brawls, one of this eyes was squinty, like a wound that didn't heal right and he had a tooth that stuck out, like a vampire. Every morning for nearly 3 yrs I fed him am/pm, I bought him a dog house and winterized it (we have freezing weather here in CT), but he wouldn't come in my house, trusted me enough to feed him but not that much. Anyway... twice he appeared with huge wounds on his chest, once he even let he clean it up a bit, he was in pain, then one day he just never came back. I still see his squinty eye and his vampire tooth, peeking thru the screen door calling to be fed. I hope he's not in pain any more. But..... I think you'll get some useful info from the ladies here, I'm afraid I'm not as knowledgeable but occasionally will give my two cents.
