  I can completely relate. When I had a new washer and dryer delivered, my beloved orange tabby slipped out through the open garage and didn't come home for days. I was a wreck. When he finally showed up three days later with a bullet lodged in his skull, I was devastated. ~$3500, one enucleation, and 3 years later, he is a wonder and I don't regret spending a single penny. We play tag, he sleeps under the blankets with my husband and I, and he adds a richness to our lives that we would truly miss had we taken the option to put him down.
  
  The real animal in this situation is the sick bastard who thinks it's funny or sporting to shoot at a cat. Maybe we should have him put down instead.

  I can definately relate to this article. We have spent nearly $30,000 on our dog over the past several years to treat him for a variety of diseases and illnesses. I didn't know then how much it would add up too over time, but he is the most loyal friend and constant companion. I am not rich, it has taken most of my savings to care for him and believe me, I get a little weak in the knees if I think about it too much, but it is only money, and he has been a more reliable friend than any human ever has been.

  We would like to know what has happened to "Fritz"since. Being a true cat lover myself and having spent a couple thousand dollars on a cancer operation for my cat, which including taking one eye, I found myself very sympathetic toward this article. Would like to know if "Fritz" is still going strong as my cat is after 3 years.
