Jesse, check with your vet and see if they're going to have any deals in February or March. My vet has deals for Dental Health Care month(s) (also because those are the two deadest months for the office), and they give 10-20% off of any dental work.
That is fascinating. I'll probably do it in February or March, anyway.
I think I paid $800 for Clio's extractions, and a cleaning.
Yeah, extractions would be more. The blood work beforehand is $100, and then the cleaning is $200-$300. Crazy!! Last year, the old vet gave me some spray stuff that was supposed to help, but it was such drama trying to get it in his mouth, I never used it much.
Man, how much do I not want to pack my suitcase again tonight? MANY MUCH.
Famous San Francisco Sea Lions Abandon Their Pier 39 Post
The blubbery sea lions at Pier 39, one of San Francisco’s smelliest and most famous tourist attractions, are gone. During the last week of November, they left the wooden docks on which they’ve spent the last 20 years and no one knows if they’ll be coming back.
Cool video of spider monkeys eating/playing with Jello: Who Doesn't Love Jello?
My vet showed me the tartar on one of my cat's teeth, and it was *nast.* Like, a quarter of an inch thick. And that's the cat who's already had her teeth cleaned once.
It's about the risk of infection, to my understanding, since chronic infections can lead to heart disease (see: Andy Hallett). But none of that makes the expense any easier to stomach. Both my cats need a cleaning.

So long and thanks for all the fish?
In my experience as a human, teeth issues are pretty individual, and for five years, vets never suggested a cleaning, so I figure I'll believe them now.

I bet the sea lions were all, "Twenty years we've been here, and not once did they give us Jello. Now they're giving Jello to spider monkeys? Fuck this - we're outa' here!"
