I feel for you. My boy is getting long in the tooth as well. I dread the day.

As for the $$$, I understand that as well. I'm giving him Adequan injections, which has worked miracles on his arthritis. He went from collapsing trying to get up 4 steps to the porch, to running 25+ mph and playing again without even stiffening up at night afterwards. Not bad for an old man. I never thought I'd spend money like that for a pet, but this boy is something special and has the whole extended family wrapped around his paw.
