Pets

It's just gotten too expensive. And it seems like every vet now is "upselling" - as described in the article with tacked on fees, as well as in house products that cost twice as much as online, and pushing people for ever more costly testing. I've had four different vets in three years and still can't find one that cares more about the animals than they do the money.

That doesn't even get into the cost of food (almost double what it was four years ago) and grooming (more than double what it was four years ago). Still I can't put my dog down for economic reasons. I guess I will live out my remaining years in debt but it's still wotht it for what he continues to provide me in terms of happiness.
