What does $1,437.97 get you?

HALO!

Now that Halo has been given a clean bill of health (Read about it here) I decided to add up all of Halo's vet bills. Some of you might remember that our nickname for Halo is "Baby Grand". Well, her vet bills have been considerably more than a thousand dollars.

Thank goodness we had saved money for things like this.

Sorry, no new photos. I was playing with Allie (the D-A-W-G next door) and she accidently got in the house and chased the kitties. They are all in hiding right now but I feel their stares shooting daggers at me. I have a feeling, I'm gonna pay for that mistake.

What a precious thing to have for "only" $1,437.97!

I'm sure you would have paid LOTS more for Halo if it had been necessary. I'm afraid to add up the costs for our three versions of your Halo! Our littlest of them is on my shoulder right now, watching the screen, trying to see if Halo is REALLY worth all that much!

Lets see 1,437.97 ,that gets you,a lot Of Cat Love,the knowledge,that you helped your best friend out of a tough scrape.
I paid 1285 For John Hancock three years ago,and have never regretted it,as I know you dont.
You have a Gold Star,at The Rainbow Bridge,and that is priceless.
And

Moose,and Halo,Twins?

Oh Halo....aren't you the expensive little one??? (But well worth it, sweetie!!)

Well, while its not the most fun thing to spend all that money on, at least you have a happy kitty that will always thank you.

Glad she's better. This is wonderful news!

Hugs,
Kelly

Some things are just PRICELESS!

SO glad to hear she has gotten a clean bill of health. Though she's an expensive little girl, she is worth every cent.

My thoughts exactly!

Congrats Halo on your new clean bill of health!!! We need to come up with a new nickname for you!

I'm considering "Million Dollar Baby" but I'm afraid I'd be tempting fate.

I don't have the vocabulary to express how much I love this gentle girl. It is such a joy to watch her coming out of her shell. Pepper has been so good for her. It's like she's watching Pepper to see how a "real" cat should act. I'll give her some people food and she'll sniff at it and walk away. But, if Pepper starts to eat it, Halo comes back and gives it another try. She stopped ducking her head away from us a long time ago and she'll actually get on the furniture now all by herself (she acts like she was hit in the past if she got on). I've even heard her purr a few times. I worry so much about her with her crappy immune system. She's been tested for everything they can think of and they can't find a thing. She's just a one medical mystery after another.

Halo, you are priceless, mommy loves you so much, and we love you too!
Rub-Rub

You can say that it was money well spent! Better to use it for Halo than for other useless things! You can't buy love, but this is the next best thing.

Lisa - your post is so sweet! Halo is a sweetheart for sure - and I am glad that her health is now better.

I think I agree with Jen - that I might get sick if I added up vet bills

Halo really is a priceless little girl. Love that picture, too!
