Hi Sandra,

That is so wonderful! I think it is a good decision for you and Bull. It is clear that you love one another. It is sometimes necessary to go through these things to realize how important the things we love are.

If the insurance doesn't work out maybe what I did would help you? I read a financial planning article that listed the average cost of a cat at $10,000 over 10 years (it was higher for a dog, but I don't recall the exact figure, maybe 15K) I just figured that the best option was to put that money aside, vet bills or no, so that I'd be ready for the unexpected. Minus food, litter, etc. it seems to work out to roughly what the insurance plans would cost.

It makes me really happy to think that your little dog is doing well and will be home again with you soon.
