Vet visit today! $257 later......

1 year Tri-heart plus heartworm pills, pet exam, Lepto vaccine, Bordetella, 3 year Rabies vaccine, blood parasite profile, and 7 months Advantix Flea/Tick.
sometimes i think i have more money in these fickin dogs than the fish tank.

but with faces like these, can you blame me?




Kain is huge! 93 lbs.! i told him needs to start exercising, but he's not listening to me.

That's chicken feed compared to my vet bills. I spent about that alone on the neighborhood cat this year. Maybe that's why I haven't gotten back into this hobby...

I always laugh at people who worry so much about how much a dog costs when they first buy it. Little do they know the initial cost is a drop in the bucket

Carrie, I am not going to send you any more secret messages if you keep making fun of Buster.

You could always try doing it yourself. See if you like the bill for paying someone else to do it then.

Spayed and fixed? Is your dog a he and she? I guess that would cost more.

There's a computer program that will walk you through that step by step. It's called Turbo Vet
