Ah, the dreaded collar. Does more damage to decor than claws could ever do to wood flooring. When I redocrated our house prior to putting it on the market, I'm sure that I spent more time applying polyfiller that actually painting.

Don't mention vet bills. Bl&*dy UK vet had the cheek to bill us a small fortune when his incompetance misdiagnosed our beloved black and gold Shepherd such that he died the week before I came over here. Even with pet insurance the excess was painful. Do you have any idea of pet insurance costs here? Are there age restrictions for taking it out?

Er, yes, that's the leg. Are you interested in pictures of other, ahem, bits ?

Re: Housing on arrival
 

It seems to me that the plan advertised at the vet's would have run us about $25/month. Here's a plan which claims no age restriction :

We didn't take any out, some costs to date, from memory :

broken leg $800
nut removal $300
worm/flea/tick prescription $100/year
medical for doggie day care (God help us) $50

Ouch, poor dog. We did this to our White Shepherd in the hope that it might also cure a few dominance issues. Turned him into a sex craved pervert :confused:

Re: Housing on arrival
 

Another bill, can't remember how much, was for microchipping. That makes me wonder, is there a worldwide chip database ? If a dog (or cat or child) was chipped in the UK, is a new chip needed here ?

Re: Housing on arrival
 

Er, no.

Do you actually have "other" pictures?

Re: Housing on arrival
 

Yes. Before and after.

Re: Housing on arrival
 

The nut job? :eek:

Re: Housing on arrival
 

The dog has to be well relaxed before one can take that sort of picture.

Re: Housing on arrival
 

At least we're missing the "during".

Odd that; my schnauzer (whatever) is also a wino.

The cat... while incubating the rice, performs an eerie mind meld with Mr Coffee.

Re: Housing on arrival
 

I have a picture, not digital alas, of a cat with eyes like that. We drove it from San Diego to Detroit, it sat on the dash all the way, mellowed by an hourly super toke.

Nice contact lenses.

Re: Housing on arrival
 

Gorgeous dog dbd! :)

What breed is it? A Labradoodle?

Offer for dog friendly condo in Calgary formally withdrawn (for anyone scanning the archives) - someone just signed a lease for a year today! Wahoo, I can buy a sofa without waiting for the tax refund now.

:cool:

But free ticket for anyone willing to bring my dog from Edinburgh (well, departing Glasgow actually) to Winnipeg before the end of Sept.
