How come they have all sorts of bumper stickers and stuff that say 'I love my (insert dog breed here)', but none that say 'I love my super-expensive dogs'?  Or even 'I love my super-expensive dogs and I'm going into debt.'

I love my dudes to no end.  As a matter of fact, I can't think about existing without them a lot of the time.  But DAYUM (or just plain old DAMN) are they expensive! 

Between their food, their medications, their tests, their cardiologist appointment...and now Sydney may have Cushings Disease.  Not to be taken lightly.  I can be as positive that he has it as I want to be, we still have to test for it so we can figure out how to dose him.  Neither test nor treatment is cheap.  Sydney dude, can you get better from one thing so momma doesn't have to pay for so many things at once?!?  Please little man?

I've been going through the bat-cave, Fiber Room North (aka the upstairs room full of fiber/yarn).  I'm going to have to de-stash some stuff and soon.  I still haven't had my taxes done and I gots to pay for this somehow!  Arrrrgh!
