<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>I think that this survey is a bit slanted
because it was done by a pet insurance </FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>company. Maybe there are a lot of
bassets in the UK like the Great Morse</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>who likes certain snacks, rock
swallowers, or other snacks that means a lot</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>of vet visits? I am sure they
probably included grooming costs (Momma wat</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>a groomer?) and of course the cost of the
insurance. Of course as our kidz </FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>become seniors they cost a little
more.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>I know that beyond food I never really
stop to think about how much the gang</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>cost each year. When I find a good
deal on toys then I stock up. Supplements</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>are limited here because I know that
the gang is on a great food which also </FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>decreases the amount I spend at the
vet. I scrap tartar if I see it forming. I make</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>the treats which means I don't have to
worry about recalls. If the gang needs </FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>meds then I ask for the RX to be called
to Wal-Mart. I love $4 scripts and my</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>vet understands that with how big the
gang is I need to save somewhere. In </FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>reality I don't want to think about how
much the gang cost. </FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>The only place I don't scrimp is on going
to the kidz doc. Doc is a little more</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>expensive than some of the others but I
believe you get what you pay for. Doc</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>is more than worth the $45
visit. </FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>I am sure I could
</FONT></STRONG><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>take a really great vacation
to an exotic location but I would </FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>still prefer to have
</FONT></STRONG><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>the gang with all the
rolling furballs, slurpy kisses, upturned bellies, happy wagging
</FONT></STRONG><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>tails and all the love they
give.</FONT></STRONG> <STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>

Priceless!!</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
