chico, when people make comments about our vet bills I just point out to them that our 8 dogs are a heck of a lot cheaper than just one child, we don't have to worry about them becoming juvenile delinquents, and they never ask for the car keys.
Sounds like a good deal to us!
Some people just don't understand.
If they don't get it the first time, I don't bother to continue to try to enlighten them...I just laugh and change the subject.
Don't let it bother you
Vinnie is grateful that you want him healthy and that's all that matters!
