Evil question! It makes us confront our fears! LOL.

I checked $2,000 to $5,000 because I don't think I'd blink spending that if either one of mine had a need for essential surgery. Spending more than that on 10-year-old Jack would depend on the prognosis for recovery and his current health. With 2-year-old Eddie, I'm afraid, I'd take out a second mortgage if I had confidence the surgery would make a profound difference in his life.

I will say this: Before I got Yorkies, I would probably have left it in fate's hands after about $1,000.
