I'm still home this morning and we are watching the Olympic Opening ceremonies. Kristen has a dentist appointment at 10:00 so we have to get moving soon. Then I head to work and later this afternoon I have to go and pick up my new car. Eeeek! :-) No plans for tonight.
Hmmmm... Fairly easy day today. I mailed care packages this morning so the kids get them at camp next week. Dh is taking Megan to the movies this afternoon and I'm trying to get the family calendar updated - need to add end of summer activities and school dates for this coming school year. This afternoon I'll go to the health club while the gang is at the movies, then we'll have dinner and watch the opening ceremonies. Somewhere in there Megan needs to pack for camp and I need to do her laundry so she can.
Veterinary Care/Laboratory Tests - $100 to $200 Physical examinations and Immunizations - $80 to $200 Internal/External Parasite Treatment and Control - $100 to $150 Spay/Neuter - $90 to $200. The cost often depends on the dog's size and age. Food - $150 to $250 Miscellaneous (collars, leads, crate, toys, bed, obedience training) - $250 to $285
Total: $770 to $1,285
and costs for raising a small to medium size dog: Small to medium-sized dogs
Good Morning everyone.
Need to get Abby and Alisha up in a couple of minutes.
Good morning, not a lot going on really.

Well, we got a new mini-Dachshund puppy last night!
Chrystal (we think it's a girl) is cute; she's very easy-going & doesn't need a huge amount of attention.
When do you go back to work? I like this site for puppy info.

Have you been to iVillage's pet messageboards at all?
I was the kid who always wanted a dog and never got one until
in her 40s.
We adopted a retriever mix older puppy from the pound.

Wow, Susan--I was just about to come on & ask if anyone knew if iV had a pet messageboard!
I can't remember if I gave you the other two dog boards
or not.
We have dogs & puppies
http://messageboards.ivillage.com/iv-ptdogs
and dog training and behavior
http://messageboards.ivillage.com/iv-ptbasic
and I notice they are already talking about a puppy that won't stay
in his crate at the training and behavior board.
