    Thankfully the vets in the Cayman Islands are reasonable.

    Vet fees are not so expensive here either. But depending on what treatment the animal needs the end result can be very expensive.

    True, my bills have been reasonable. I should say my dogs have always been healthy.

    This Is One of the Tiniest Ancient Birds, and It Lived Alongside Giant Dinosaurs

    " About 127 million years ago, tiny birds the size of grasshoppers lived alongside some of the biggest animals to walk the Earth, including the long-necked sauropods, a new study finds.

    When it was alive, this less-than-2-inch-long (5 centimeters) chick would have weighed just 0.3 ounces (8.5 grams) — about the weight of one-fifth of a golf ball. That makes it one of the smallest birds from the dinosaur age on record, the researchers said."

    So birds didn't come from dinosaurs.
