My vet look. I kept trying to escape and between dad and the exam room door I couldn't quite figure it out.

Dad got stuffs to put in my ear that he claims prompted the visit to hell so we'll see if it was worth it.

Then again, he did give me treatos when we got home so I can't stay mad.

$1,080 and I still don't know what's wrong with my dog's foot.

I didn't have $1,080. I had to borrow it from a family member who loves dogs, but was not thrilled with the amount, and it will take me 6 months to pay it back.

My dog is 10 years old. The cost for Pet insurance is outside my financial range.

The next step, if I choose to take it, is to perform an aspirate biopsy and send the specimen to the a pathologist - $400.

This is insane. Ugh!

I wondered, "What powders?" and then thought of gunpowder (as muzzle loading was still the standard in 1850).

But every antique black powder measure I see on the internet is made from brass. Sparks caused by iron weren't wanted near gunpowder.

As for a hole punch - the flare our appears far beyond what a hole punch would have.

Edit: The photos of the Barrett version weigh against both hoof cleaner and small roundish spokeshave/scraper.

Candle/lamp snuffer?
