0:00.0	Thanks for listening to my call of the day podcast. You can hear my live radio program Monday through Friday from 2 to 5 p.m. Eastern time on serious XM Triumph 111.
0:11.0	Sarah, welcome to the program.
0:14.0	Hi Dr. Laura, I have a quick question for you.
0:17.4	I have an eight-year-old daughter and we have a 17-year-old cat that has kidney disease and she's just kind of going downhill.
0:29.0	My question to you is, should I, what I should do with my eight year old daughter because she's
