8. Glad Sammy is doing well

today learned my 27 lb cat DU, needs to have molars extracted! OMG $500!

what is with these Vets today? they make it so hard for us to take care of our animals properly. I don't think it would cost me that much to have my own teeth pulled.

goddamit anyway- now we need to find ways to pay for it.
