Cool!  

I can't help but wonder what Scout's medical bills have reached.  

I know we quit counting Pogo's total bill when we hit around $7000.  Even though he was part of the Rapamycin study at UW-Madison, his bills easily topped $10,000 because he developed an arrhythmia right before surgery and an UTI right after surgery to remove his leg.  He spent a total of 10 days (maybe 11, I can't remember anymore) in the hospital post surgery.  We also lived about 3 1/2 hours north of Madison and had to drive there for his carboplatin chemo treatments.

We also had a greyhound that had hemangiosarcoma (like Scout, but on his spleen) and his bills also totaled more than $7000.  We were living 180 miles south of Chicago at the time and took him to the University of Illinois Vet School for treatment.  Back then, Icabod was the exception because he made it 11 months post tumor rupture and surgery before his cancer came back.
