As dogs age they can get pretty expensive, can't they? I don't think a lot of people realize this until their pooches get up there in age and start having to go to the vet more often.
Lady is almost thirteen and has some pretty serious issues like diabetes and epilepsy (not to mention being hypothyroid, arthritic and allergic). She has a lot of infections because of the diabetes so we seem to be at the vet constantly for minor things. At this point, her vet bills and medications run about $5,000 a year!
I can't imagine having three senior dogs!
