Now I did discover that I can order the medicine for $90 instead of the $400 they vet charges, through Allivet.com


It's likely coming from another country, or is the generic version of the branded version you got a script from your vet for.

The question isn't about how much you love the dog, rather how much you value the cat. Your wife's pussycat.

That's because you aren't married and have no kids. There's people out here that have big boy pants on and live in big boy world.

i didn't realize the only way you could wear big boy pants and live in a big boy world was enter into a union that will cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars over the course of your lifetime (if you want kids).

but thanks for being your usual trashdick self, chad

Forgive me if I am being cold but unless that dog can cook breakfast for me and carry on a conversation, it ain't worth it.

It kind of depends on the situation for me.

1) what kind of life will the dog be able to live after?
2) how old is the dog?

I spent about that much on my 8 year old Lab hoping to extend her life by a cancer surgery and after care. Turns out she only lived 2 more months.

Had I know that, I might have put her down, but I didn't. Do I regret spending $4K? Not for a second.

i didn't say my dog is everything, i said she's like family, and i'd pay whatever i could to keep her alive.

its definitely comical to imply that the only way you're in the real world is if you marry and have kids. not surprising you'd think that. just funny

My wife has a mutt yorkie and if he requires $4,000 to fix then he is taking the dirt nap. She wouldn't have a problem pulling the trigger. She's cold as ice.

So the dog got out of the backyard without anybody knowing and apparently got his arse into a bad situation with another dog or a frickin hawk or owl tried to snatch him up. Don't know because nobody saw the "attack".



Whoever let the yorkie in the backyard unsupervised is an idiot. Those things weight 2 lbs and can be snatched up by a bird very quickly.

never said you're not in a real world. i'm just noting your real world priorities exist due to your lack of real world human family responsibilities.

because i have no family and children, i can afford to spend a pretty significant amount of money on my dog, should that scenario arise. and i would, because its just money. and i'm not ice-hearted
