This is what scares me so much about looking for another puppy!!!
I'm not so much concerned with the cost of vet care, as I am about getting an unhealthy puppy with problems. All these threads with pups and their health issues is downright scary. I really feel like I lucked out with ZoE, getting a healthy puppy, and if I push my luck and go for a second one, I'll get burned.
