Oh my gosh, MOM Is beautiful! I don't remember if we saw her before or not. What a lovely rough coat collie!

And nameless puppy looks like a lighter coloring. So funny, "drank from the big dog bowl" LOL

Thanks for updating us, we all lived through that via PT with you!

Yes, I remember - what a nightmare that turned into. They should still be thanking their lucky stars that you were there to help.
He is adorable! what a cute little guy, and he looks healthy, too.
That seems like a lot of money for spaying - is that the normal rate?

Awwwww Little Luscio (sp?) says thanks. He is a little terror and a very happy little terror at that. hehehehe

Pat that is a normal rate here. I just had my Vega (kitty) spayed (they don't do full spays here on cats unless they deem it necessary (ie: cystic uterus).) and it cost with the ENPA (like ASPCA) discount €100 not including pain meds. We paid an additional €30 for pain meds. So with the discount it ended up costing us €130 which is about $190 for a PARTIAL spay.

They gave us an estimate on Artica who is 22kg and she will cost between €300 and €350 euro which is about $440 - $510 without pain meds. And believe it or not that is with her ENPA discount. This is a big reason why people do not alter their pets here. They cannot afford to do so. They charge so much for services it is unreal.

I really think they need to make a change of some sort. They should be wanting people to alter their pets. More alters means more money no? But as long as the prices stay as high as they are now then people are not going to be able to do it. The cost of a medium size dog like Artica is about half of most people's salary in a month and people just cannot do that. It is aweful.

Anyway, enough of me complaining.

Thanks again you guys. Luscio sends little puppy nibbles.
