Four grand.
That's how much it cost me to get back surgery — for my dachshund, Keaton.
No, I'm not nuts. Both I and my living room rug are fully aware that Keaton is a dog, and I'm not the kind of person who buys him holiday-themed doggie outfits, or any outfits, for that matter. But when an animal that's part of your family is dragging his hindquarters and unable to walk, what would you do? If he was elderly, I might have had him put to sleep, but there's plenty of life in the old guy yet.
