I've mentioned that a good friend is a small animal surgeon and that from time to time I wander through his clinic. Usually there is a the compliment of dogs and cats in the cages awaiting or recovering from some for of treatment. Today a medium size dog was having a biopsy of the esophagus. The scene was like something out of a Star Wars when the Millenium Falcon lands in that huge wormy monster thing.
One of the few things probably never discussed before marriage but should be part of pre-marital counseling is how much money would either partner think a particular pets life is worth. It hasn't every really been a challenge for my marriage yet (though we did spend like $140 on a Guinea Pig) but the day may come. Maybe the web should have page that is dedicated to answering the question. Input all the variables, family income, total savings, age of animal, other illnesses, etc... then have a not to exceed dollar value appear and the whole family has to agree to it.
