I hear ya,
Luckly mine haven't went to the vet in a while, knock on wood. Altough I do need to order more flea stuff for Dakota, and I have to get another prescrition. The vet will only give me 1 prescription at a time, it stinks
Im going to start Christmas shopping prob next week, I got to pay the cc off first. I think I will be getting a paycheck in about 3 weeks

but all my money will be saved, so its not like I will be able to see it.
