I've been thinking about this. I have spent huge sums of money on the cat I
have had for the past seven or eight years. But I have money, and I don't
think about it. But if I didn't have money -- let's say living from
paycheck to paycheck -- and the vet came in and said, "$850 for labwork and
surgery." Forgive me, but I would probably have to draw the line there and
have the poor thing put to rest. I know this makes me a bad person, but
come on y'all, what is your true limit on such matters?


I don't know, and I hope I never have to find out. But then, I have it easy;
my husband and I both work, and we have no children, so Oscar is my only
dependent. It must be a lot harder for people who have children, parents, or
others depending on them for care.
