Hmmmm....How about helpin out the vet??? Feeding, cleaning up?? Unlike my people doctors, my vet, with special agreement, has allowed me to pay little by little. My boy Cody, like Sandra's Cody, has hip dyslasia and also takes the same medication. Cody's going to be 11 and is still pretty good so don't even think about "puttiing down" Dasher!
