Maybe it's just a fatty tumor. Seems like old dogs get those a lot. Poor girl...not worth $100?!

Only $100.00?
You got it easy!

I called the vet to find out how much it would cost to have Bruiser fixed and shots and check ups for the other 3!
I might have to sell the first born!

You need to get a puppy anyway, eveybody needs a puppy!

Did you check with Sparling Vet Clinic in Chehalis, thewife? (Alan was the large animal vet you met at my place, his wife is the small animal vet.) They seem to be the most affordable around.

$100 was just for the grooming.theres no telling what dog will charge for looking at her.an anything else he does to her.a puppy to replace her goes for $200 to $300 or a tad more.

friend, i can tell you the truth that i've bought our dog/cat vet a new sports car on all the $$ we've spent!

actually we have a fantastic vet - we have our own little 'rescue' here and they do right by us... generally freebies and discounts especially for the newcomers.

let us know how her belly goes - a good workin' dog is a treasure. if i had so start over with a new pup i'd fall down in the yard and cry.

well she is home.all shaved an clean.the knott wasnt anything.the vet thinks it from getting cockleburrs in her coat.she got all her shots.an her bill was $115.so old doc didnt hang me to bad on the bill.

good news!

i'm sure she got the worse end of the stick with all the poking and prodding and scrubbing. give her a treat and tell her we said she was an awfully "good dog!" (scratch ears here)

Glad all is well.
