Jim, I hope I figure out the limit some day. I once spent more than $6,000 at the state university veterinary teaching hospital that was treating my first Keeshond. Holly was a fairly young dog and that bought her about nine more months. I didn't regret a single dollar; she was, as they say in rescue, my heart dog.
Of course, I had a job back then. I'm planning to contact a nearby cat rescue when it opens this afternoon and see if it will take Calypso's kittens. When I was a kid, we used to just feed stray cats that wandered in. But, now I know the dangers of disease and predation -- plus the likelihood of roadkill on a nearby regularly traveled road. Plus, if the cats aren't neutered, the problem just continues.
My day will be shaped by the weather. I need to work outside but there's so much mud.
I'm sure Ollie understands!
