Military chiefs from most NATO and EU countries met in Paris yesterday to discuss new security arrangements. The US wasn’t invited.

Has anyone sedated their dog? I just tried a 2nd Gabapentin as a trial for the crossing to Tasmania. Doesn’t seem to have done anything. Any tips? Will have to ring the vet tomorrow
