Don't Bite the Hand that Feeds You...


Champ, Champ, Champ! This morning marked the 6th visit to a vet for Champ since August 1st. Can you say tool bag?!?! He cost Uncle Ray another $175 today. It's always something with this guy. He almost died two times on the drive from Arizona to Canada. This time he snagged a nail and needed to have it removed. He snagged it on Tuesday and got blood EVERYWHERE. Plus he has a couple blisters on the same paw (he probably stepped on something). I've never met a dog like this before!!! Here's the breakdown of his vet bills.

$100 Check-up for medical clearance into Canada
$500 Emergency after hours stop in Camp Verde, Az
$300 Emergency stop in Springfield, Missouri
$100 Consultation in Peotone, Il
$125 Anal gland expressed here in Moncton
$175 Toe nail removal
Total cost of a Champ...Priceless

You gotta be crappin' me...$125 for an anal gland expression?!? Our vet squeezes Bernie's butthole for $17.

If I would've know it would cost $125 for that visit I would have put my finger in his butt! It's crazy how expensive EVERYTHING is here...that or they figure we're stupid Americans and will pay whatever they charge...
