daughter and dog update

Thank you very much for your kind thoughts and good wishes. My daughter had her appendix taken out and is doing ok. I picked up the dog from doggie hospital....she is ok, and its chicken breasts and rice for the rest of her life. Money Score: daughter = $0 dog = $545.00 The gym membership will just have to wait awhile. Sharyn

I'm sorry about the money but glad that they are OK!

Glad that they are both on the mend

Thank God your daughter, is doing fine, and your dog, too!~ You just can't put a cost on a loved one! Child, OR fur baby! (((HUGS)))

I think it's criminal what vets charge us for your animals! They end up being more expensive than tests on humans PLUS there isn't any insurance to help out.

Hey, you got off cheap on the dog! I spent well over $1,700 on a cat last year that I didn't even own! I'm stupid and a sucker, yes. But I had good reasons (young cat, very ill; more cats in the home + a little kid so I was worried about what may have been going on so I thought it was worth the $$). I'm glad to hear everyone is doing better. Now you can breathe again! Lori

I'm sorry I have not been on for 3 weeks, so do not know what happened. But I did want to say "thank God they will be fine"........ I also wanted to say, I have never had an animal in my whole life. But we just got a black lab 2 weeks before christmas. She came from shelter, had a cough and soon water on the lung. So needless to say she got a scrip at the drug store that cost $120.00 and at the same time my husband picked up mine and it cost $5.00. So since we got her. It cost $120 at the shelter, $200.00 at the first pet smart visit, since than $200.00 on other supplies, crate , food, pooper scoop etc. Two vet visits, 87 dollars for the first and $120 for the second because of the x-rays. But I gotta tell you. If I had this dog when I had small kids I could not of afforded all that. But now my kids are grown, and on their own, but I do have a 16yr old. This dog is like "she has always been here". She has bonded so well. Just wanted to say that we looked into ins. But it is a rip-off. So many things they don't cover. It was not worth 30.00 dollars a month. Glad all is well. Bridget k.
