guess how much a dog's knee surgery is?

after a day at the vet's, we learned that louie jew has destroyed, severed, ripped and completely torn his ligament. must he one up me all the time?! I had my meniscus removed.

guess how much this pleasure is going to cost?

ask me if those god damned orthopods will accept payments?

the answer is a big fat fuck no.

brace yourselves.

here it comes.

a quote so heinous, I tossed my cookies.

$4,800.

mother of god.

Get a second opinion. A traditional knee surgery vs. a TPLO less than half the price and actually better for large breed dogs. My 110 lb golden retriever had her cruciate ligament rebuilt in January for $1450. She's as good as new. Go educate yourself at this site: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/orthodogs

As for financing, there is a program for financing, it's here: http://www.carecredit.com/
Just find a vet who takes the program. You do not need to go to a special ortho vet, many small animal (dog, cat) vets are trained in traditional cruciate surgery.

So much for this stupid homeschooler not knowing anything, eh?

doc, I don't think you're stupid at all. I never said that you were stupid.

thank you so much for the advice. I agree with you. I just found out yesterday and I've been looking up alternatives. Thanks to you, I now know that there is a different knee surgery and it's a hell of a lot less expensive.

again, thank you very much. hope you're doing well,

I'm not sure what's more disturbing, the thrusting jacked sack. Or, his dirty orange palms color coordinated to match his freakpubes leading to the creepiest weepeen I've ever seen. And, I'm not even a size queen. Help me. I can't stop staring at it. Happy Halloweeeneeeee

I come here today my friends not to bury John McCain, but to praise him. To share a tender loving family values snibble of time that I hope transcends politics. You see my friends the presidential campaign trail is long and hard, like a penis, and at one point on that long, hard, soul sucking, maverick busting into party yes man presidential campaign trail, John's loving wife Cindy came up to him, ran her beerlicous fingers through his hair and said, "You're getting a little thin up there." A moment of tender humanity in the loveless inhuman world that is American presidential politics. "At least I don't plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you cunt" Is what John McCain said by way of reply. I'm not making that up. Three reporters witnessed it. God that's hot. I bet they had steaming sex that night. White-hot nuclear powered cuntaramic sex until that makeup ran down Cindy McCain's face like water through a hydroelectric dam. Which means it...

african babies

I think it's great that owning african babies are en vogue. though it appears madonna is going to be renting one, she's no less committed then a rightful owner. what I can't seem to get my head around is america's ability to embrace african babies and still find the time to shun black babies. the color of their skin is the same, no? if I'm not mistaken they both bleed red. I suppose it's possible african babies have a softer red hue, but the similarities should be uncanny. so, if someone could PLEASE EXPLAIN to me how it is fucking possible that we can live in a country that practices inequality, segregation and discrimination against black people yet manages to embrace african babies, I would really appreciate it. oh, and while you're at it, make a pit stop in any predominantly black neighborhood, and of course justify why it is that a predominantly black neighborhood exists in america circa 2006 in the first place. and, also explain why poverty, viole...
