Kathy, I have to tell you I agree to a point. Sometimes I feel like the migrant farm worker that never gets the general store paid............as far as my Vet goes. Then again I have to look at all the times he has made house calls and never charged me.............I have to look at all the midnight calls..........right now I have a pregnant gal, that had a tumor taken off one breast.....................and his family is waiting for one of my pups...............he is doing weekly ultrasounds and not charging me. I count myself as VERY lucky! Mo > > I'll tell you what makes me wonder...the vet care available today and the > cost of the same. Food prices pale in comparison. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
