I have the same plan and feeling about the weather.

he's just like the great swiss mountain dog but with a ton more hair. he's a bernese mountain dog. the femoral head isn't even remotely close to the socket and his left side isn't too hot either. the vet seems to think that replacing the right may be all we need to do.

he basically bears little weight on his hind legs and sometime won't eat because it's too much standing.

 

I have mixed feelings about vets. I've always felt they pull on peoples heart strings when it comes to their pets by 'sometimes' suggest unnecessary and often expensive procedures.

I have a $1k limit on my pets. Once their cumulative medical expenses exceed $1k I let nature and the process of natural selection take its course. I'm thinking of adopting the same philosophy for my kids...

 

when my dog had a piece of mulch stuck in his stomach we spent about $1800.

i would have spent up to 10grand on my little pup! no joke

 

Have you ever met me?

Hello... Mcfly?

 

I would take old yeller out back.........just sayin'

 

you aren't alone. My wife and I know a couple, they're DINK's (double income no kids), who spent WELL OVER $10k on their dog for cancer treatments, therapy and believe it or not a dog shrink! The dog's quality of life its last couple years while going thru all this was horrible and she eventually died in her sleep. I understand the attachment with pets and all, but a fellow has to draw the line at some point. My line just happens to be @ $1,000.01.

 

ha
we're dink's too lol

 

so im a ***** in a dink household how strange

 

chi-dink!

 

or ***** dink sounds better.

 

I'm whoring it up today.

 

here is my dog

sleeping



Next to Pistol Peteyturbo Junior

 

does he really sleep like that? thats awesome.

 

yeah both my dogs sleep like that lol

 

That's nuts. I dog sat for someone whose dog ate a bag of potpouri(SP?) shortly before they brought it over to me. They knew but failed to tell me. It processed most of it fine, but had some bad klingons.

That's awesome, once I get a job where I've got some stability in where I'm going to be in 24 hours I'm going to get an english and name it snot.
