Both of my Bassett Hounds were bit by a copperhead last month, that is sticker shock




My youngest is Dr. Doolittle. I hope it pays off for him in his adult years

Awwwwwwwwwwww I love Bassetts. Neighbors over here breed them. I had one once, Sophie Anne. She was so cool.

Love them back. My one kitty is under the desk, the other is laying on my foot, and both dogs are in the room behind me snoring.

I also purchased the pet insurance. It's $30 a month.


I know, it's like locking the gate after the horse got out.

Sorry and nothing to brag about, but when my boxer got hit out front of the house (both front legs run over) by some arsehole doing 35 in my court.
6K later, she is 99% back to normal. Pup Pups are worth it. I luvs her.
You can see her front legs are still scared

She is so pretty! She looks like she would be a good playmate for my boxer.

and an ointment for his eyes. doc says Gordo is probably going to need a small operation on his eyelid cause its scratching at his eyeball causing him to tear a lot.

Entropion? - my monster had this operation done when she was 4 months old, it healed beautifuly and her lashes even grew back, you'd never know it looking at her. We had her fixed at the same time and I want to say the total for everything was around $500.

OMG i'm gonna have to take out a second mortgage for this dog, but he's worth it

I figured out that Daisy cost me an average of $200/month in medical bills for the last 4 of her 6 years of life.

I'm getting the insurance for Sam. So far, I've acted as foster for her so haven't had to pay squat. But, it was just discovered that she has a BAD case of hook worms. And thats the start of her being on my tab. Perfect timing though. I just gave her the last of the meds for the ringworm treatment. Gotta get her re-tested for heartworms now. And so it starts...again.

It's funny, the way that Sam sheds, I can brush, and brush and brush...as soon as she walks into the sunlight, she looks like "pigpen" from the Charlie brown cartoon with the cloud of dust around her. I vacuum and dust nearly every day now. I can't WAIT for the hardwood floors to be in.

Be sure to research well. We looked into a couple of different insurances for our monster but there are lots of things that are considered pre-existing conditions that are not covered so in the end I don't think it would have paid for itself.

all the floors are going to do is make everthing clump together under the furniture then the clumps will invade all at once. they usually wait until guest come over.

I figured as much. But the floors will make it much easier to move the furniture. Figured If I put the sofa and other chairs up on cinderblocks, and I keep a fan in each corner all blowing in the same direction, I'd only have to vacuum in the center of the room.

Ah, the vortex method of hair control. I have heard of this.

instead, have all the fans blow toward the door this way you won't have to vaccuum, everything will just blow out the door when you open it.

AHHhhh. See, now you're thinkin!

Remember those old commercials for controlling roaches with people living on cement furniture, and another one using BLAZING lights that required everyone to wear protective gear? I'm picturing people opening my front door to come in and instantly getting "Sasquatched".

Shoot! I coulda done that for you for free!!! I'd just do what we used to do to the sheep that got it....put a little stitch in the eyelid holding it in the correct position....2-3 weeks later it's good as new!! All you need is a needle and some suture material...or thread!

Thanks but I'm glad monster's eye tuck was performed by a professional. There is no scar at all.
