it could be a lot less expensive than this as well. It is funny to me that they tell you the costs before hand and present it in an almost sheepish kind of way like they are apologizing to you that an

that's a really good deal man. I'm surprised to hear it is that low. This with insurance or just the normal fee?

I think docs for humans or dogs should err on the side of caution. Don't ring the alarm bells until you are absolutely certain. The first doc unnecessarily had me preparing for Nadi's death.

wow, that's excessive. I remember when I lived in the states that going to the vet for anything at all started at $100 or so just to talk to the vet for a bit then anything else you did had add on fees

I think if it was more expensive than it is here that they would price themselves out of the market and there would just be a bunch of very sick dogs all over the place. We don't really have a stray dog

Herein lies a bit of a problem about Vietnam. The human medical care here is quite poor. Going to a hospital with a vague statement like "I feel dizzy when I stand up sometimes" is going to result

The sky looks really clear. isn't it supposed to be smokey season there now?

Great story man. I grew up Catholic but have not been to a service in 20 years or so. I went once when I was visiting my grandfather, who was seriously Catholic until the day he died. That food looks great

oh and it's not a chili dog but I should suggest that to the guy that runs the little stand. Hot dos must be something that aren't as easy to make as we might think because even though for the most part

yeah, I think I am more sympathetic towards the suffering of my dog than I am of my friends probably because my friends can talk and also do something about it but with my doggie, I just have to guess.

yeah, we got some pretty good news, which I am going to detail in an upcoming post.

well I think all the good times are worth the heartache that you feel at the end.

was the guy apologetic and understanding? I remember how crazy the road rage was in USA and we don't really have that here despite the traffic being far less regimented and pretty chaotic. I wonder why

thankfully dogs are very forgiving and easily distracted. I could hear her little tummy growling at night when we went to bed. awwwww

yep. I dwell on her age probably a lot more than I should. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that this is a medication thing, not a putting her down sort of thing. I will not prolong her suffering for

I think I have a lot of time left with her. I maybe jumping the gun on this but that is just because I worry about her so much and she is such a huge part of my life.

yeah I don't think there is anything that you can do over here that would cost that much and thanks for this reminder about how extraordinary the prices are for things in USA. Years ago I had to bring

I like to go on an AirAsia flight with a full subway sub and maybe some doritos so that everyone else on the plane gets really jealous of me.

I was in Chiang Mai earlier this year and was rarely not in the downtown area. I know that you guys have a certain lifestyle that you expect but let me tell you, Chiang Mai is much more organized and quiet

That really stinks man. I feel faint every now and then when I do certain things and almost every morning of mine feels like a chore. I've never actually HAD to sit down though. You gonna be alright?
