[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 632489, member: 1550"] As with everything else where I live, we have a real gem of a vet who, if you are a good payer, will allow you to pay out your bills and doesn't charge that much. I had Damian (laying on his back in my avator) at the vet the other day because he has a chronic skin condition. The checkup, medications, and Heartworm Pills together cost maybe $63.00. Getting the "kids" fixed cost about $130 a dog and that was because I wanted upgraded care. He has a marvelous reputation and just really loves animals. I've never paid $400 to see him for any reason. We are thinking of doing allergy testing and that will be $200, which I can pay out. If I do it, that will be the most I've paid to the vet so far. I don't miss the city at all. I lived near Chicago all of my life and hated Chicago itself. I'm not into busy, crowded, glitzy and I don't like the prices. Although there are a few neat things to visit in Chicago, I would visit then go back to my house in the suburbs. But I like this smaller city better than the Chicago burbs because, frankly, the people in the Chi-burbs were pretty stuck up and not very friendly. This is more "southern" (told to me by an Alabama native). I don't like the sticks either. Miles of no neighbors is boring to me and dangerous now that we are getting older, I think. And although my social skills are not great, I do like to be around people. I will never have tons of friends, but I like acquaintances that I know and see a lot, can wave to and chit chat with. I wouldn't mind leaving Wisconsin though. I don't like the political scene here and the changes taking place in the state. I have always liked Minnesota...but my husband works here so I think we are stuck for the foreseeable future. [/QUOTE]
