Evening all.<br /><br />Rose - great to see you back posting  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/thumbup.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumbup:" border="0" alt="thumbup.gif" /> <br /><br />Joey - happy anniversary to you and David   <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/wub.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wub:" border="0" alt="wub.gif" />  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/wub.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wub:" border="0" alt="wub.gif" />  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/wub.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wub:" border="0" alt="wub.gif" /> <br /><br />We have never added up what the animals have cost us - can&#39;t imagine.  The dogs have their annual vet checks and shots - the &quot;Old Lady&quot; get glucosomine every day for her arthritis.  The young one gets groomed every few weeks and they go through treats (like pigs ears @&#036;13 a bag) like candy.  They get treats whenever we leave the house - spoiled or what lol.<br /><br />Then there are the donations to the SPCA the dogs insist we take over at Christmas and the funds for the Humane Society - so pet ownership definately comes with a price.  But the payback is &quot;priceless&quot;&#33;&#33;&#33;<br /><br />Ed - I have one of those photo frames.  We have a lot of cruise photos on it :o)<br /><br />Carmen - good luck with your shot.  Does it make your legs completely numb.  Mine made me feel &quot;disembodied&quot; like my upper half was floating lol.<br /><br />Steve - by the looks of the latest news our of Washington and Oregon - your wife left just in time.  What a mess down there.<br /><br />Take care all ...<br />
