Many people have no idea just how expensive these little ones are - even healthy ones. I just took my Max (3 yrs old) to the vet yesterday. He had 3 teeth removed and one other tooth that had broken off but left the roots. (total 4) By the time we left yesterday it was $567! That was not including the $145 for shots, fecal and a couple of supplements last week. And this was just for Max. And really, Max is a healthy, happy boy. We brush his teeth, he eats good natural treats, very little table scraps (bad hubby) and kibble. We're doing everything right - stuff just happens and I think that's why you'll see members bring the financial aspect up. Nothing personal.  |
Isn't that funny that the hubbies are always the villain by giving our fur babies little table scraps?? I NEVER do, but DH will always try to find a way to give Melanie a little something... I used to get sooo mad... those days I just pretend I didn't see, since I think is harmless and only happens once in a while... He told me once that one day when she is a senior, he will give her a piece of a steak... LOL
