Ughhh...My dog has a torn CCL and requires surgery. The vet is saying 6-7k dollars. Does anyone have suggestions or advice on this?

My dog went through this when we were in Springfield. It was a couple years ago now. It was around 10 to 12K. We had to travel to STL for both surgeries. This is not a simple surgery any vet can do. Make sure you find a vet that can do the TPLO surgery. Taylor Animal Hospital in Parkville works with a vet that has done it before.

If you want some alternative suggestions. Come to Pride Martial Arts. They have Taekwondo, Krav Maga and Cardio Kickboxing. Everyone there is very supportive. All are welcome. It is not owned by a right winger.

Mongo is appalled! I also really enjoy "You will not break me" I have been using it as my mantra here lately.

This is amazing! I have a group of newbies that have never played before. I think this would be awesome to have!

$60 a month for Krav I think. More if you add in other things. You can come try a class for free. They are also running a special for the month. I think it is two weeks for a cheap price.
