diana, i'm with you on the costs. as much as i love alex, and over the last 11 years i've spent immense sums, there is no way i could pay that type of money for out of pocket medicines costs. i have to pay for shelter, living and work expenses. and while i know osu vet school is very good, i' always surprised by the final costs, almost as much as an human hospital, and it's not pay in portions for in-state residents. sleep sweet, ear skritchies to all the furries
