A van

Their vet appointments (once a year I take them all in, dogs, cats, ferrets, get all of their flea & heartworm meds for the year, vaccines if need be) usually about 2-2.5 thousand.

Raustyk's cruciate repairs

Kaige is the most expensive dog I bought

I once bought a big, soft $65 dog bed for Nanook, that was about 15 years ago when dog beds were cheap, now it's hard to find a super big, super soft one for that price.

(now I make them)

I really don't know what the most expensive thing has been, i'd immagine Izzy's (iguana) cage. That has cost a mint.

I'm thinking along these same lines. The most expensive thing I ever got Tubby was his semi-annual blood work to monitor his kidneys - about $250.00 every six months for 3 1/2 years. The most expensive thing I ever got Peanut was surgery to remove the tumor in her bladder. I belive CJ's most expensive purchase is going to be his allergy testing....once I actually get a chance to take him in and have him tested that is.

With Tubby getting sick last year and then dying, CJ's arrival and constant battle with diarrhea and Peanut's surgery, I've spent several thousand dollars on the kitties in the last year - and I don't regret a penny of it. I would much rather spend the money on their health than on a toy they will play with for two seconds and then ignore for the rest of its useful life.

Squeek's cat tree.

Um...I think the most expensive thing we've ever bought for Blaze, was a plane ticket from California to Kentucky!!! (when we moved!)

And yup, he has ridden a plane before obviously...I can think of more, but I don't feel like it right now really...

Well,we did have to buy the Jeep for them so they could fit

**Flatcoatluver** · 09-27-2005, 05:31 PM

umm zoey and t.j. both got a show crate that was 300 each and i paid for it because there was no way my mom would ever pay that much for it

Good health. LOL sounds lame but for the money I spend on vet visits and good dog food... it adds up!!

**NoahsMommy** · 09-27-2005, 07:08 PM

I'm sure it'd be the cat trees.

As far as something utterly frivolous was Micah's "diamond/peridot" studded collar:

OUR POOL!!

Although our intentions weren't specifically FOR Kiara, she swims in it more than ANYONE. She swims EVERYday while we swim every other day on most weeks.

Other than that...
Probably their crates or plane ticket to Utah.

The most expensive thing we bought for the dogs was the huge kennel outside. We paid $100 for the thing, bought a doghouse and cemented the whole thing in. It is pretty big, completely safe, 6 foot chainlinked walls and ceiling, cement floor and a huge roomy doghouse....we originally thought instead of putting the dogs in crates while we were in school/worked they would enjoy being outside on nice days. The first time we ever put Micki and Mini in the kennel the whole thing was a disaster... the squirrells decided to sit on top of the kennel roof causing my two squirrell crazy dogs to go nutso, the neighbors ended up calling the animal control and we were left with a warning because our dogs were "disturbing the peace"...I could see this as a problem if it was early in the morning or late at night but this was in the middle of the day!! So they have never stepped one foot in that kennel again, I'd say it was the most expensive thing we have gotten for them and not been able to use. We did put Jack and Sassy in there together last week because they are relatively quiet, there were some old car seats in there that my dad took out of a derby car, we got home and Jack shredded the whole seat....he will never be left in there again. Oops, kinda got carried away, sorry I wrote so much, I know it was a simple question...
