$1200 dog

Sure... lots of dogs cost that much - so I now decree our dog Ellie no longer a mutt but a pure-bred.

Last night she came down on some metal landscape edging and severed 2 tendons in her back paw. She had to have surgery and is supposed to stay off stairs for 3 weeks.

Did I mention that our house has FOUR sets of stairs?

Yikes. We spent a similar amount on one of our cats a few years ago. It's a little weird, because you kind of feel like "There's no way this cat is worth a thousand dollars," but you have this ethical obligation to take care of it, so deep sigh, pull out the checkbook, and get it done . . .

That is exactly right. What can you do in that situation? Bad.
