Question regarding parentheses and afterthoughts

0Hi there,02br
02br
00I have a quick question regarding the use of parentheses with an exclamatory afterthought. I tend to use this pattern frequently in informal writings.02br
02br
00Suppose I have the following:02br
02br
01font00I have two cats (and one dog!).02font02br
02br
00Is the use of the exclamation point and period outside the closing parenthesis correct?02br
02br
00Thanks so much!0-
