re: How much would you spend on your pet?

We had to learn that limit the hard way last year. Had a super smart, super sweet labrador that would go to work with me every day. At just under 4 years old, she developed bone cancer in her hip. I drove all over creation to every vet school I could get her in front of. The team at Auburn had the best option in the world for treatment as it currently stood, but it would be $12k-$15k, which we were just not able to swing. The real kicker to that was it would only buy her another 12-18 months before it came back and we had to do this all over again. Miserable time in my and my family's life.
