money

It's funny, but as I'm contemplating how I'm going to pay for everything, the radio is talking about how to gain control of your finances. :) Bott radio is always so timely.

Yesterday, I finally got Scout into the vet and he thinks she does have cancer. The estimate for the biopsy is $685. I know I could take her to Warrensburg and it would be so much cheaper but I've volunteered at Birthright and I don't want to let them down. Add to this the fact that Alpine Vet Clinic is a walk in clinic that is always full to the brim. I trust that doctor more than any other doctor I've met but getting in to see him takes forever, which would stress Scout. Plus, he keeps the dogs until he wants to release them. I know Scout wouldn't do well in a cage in a strange place. So I've decided to go ahead and try to come up with this money. This way I follow through with my commitment and Scout is less stressed. Dr. Carlson's nurse assured me that I could get Scout once she wakes up. That means less cage time for her which is a huge plus.
