JohnH,
Oh yeah, and what are your vet bills, dog food, kennel charges (if
applicable)! You are kidding aren't you? :-)

Don, dogs are a lot cheaper! :)

Let's see. For the Lab:

Radiation therapy for Mast Cell Tumor on paw - $3500
Separated Anterior Cruciate Ligament - $1500
Nerve Sheath tumor biopsy and removal - $600
Nerve Sheath tumor removal (2d time) - $350
Plus a half dozen other 'emergencies' - $1200

That doesn't count the routine shots, checkups, etc, nor food, kennel
charges, etc.

But this has been an expensive dog!

Yes, I was being somewhat facetious. I've been kicking around joining
the local District Park to take advantage of their exercise equipment.
They want about $535/year for a man/wife membership. In the meantime,
I walk the dogs.
