Ellen Baker loves rescuing cats, but she will forever have a special place in her heart for Bella, who died recently after a night at a pet hospital.Her beloved tabby cat had died despite 24 hours of tests, lab work and antibiotics."Losing her I felt like my heart had been ripped out of my chest," Baker said.Billed thousands for treatmentThat was just the first blow. The second was the bill.Baker said she was confronted with a hefty bill the moment she and a very sick Bella arrived at the vet."I was told, 'You have to pay ,204 up front to cover anything and everything that might need to be done,'" she said.Baker, distraught, handed over her credit card. Refusing to pay would have felt like sentencing Bella to death.The next day, Bella was still sick and the hospital needed another ,000 to continue treatment."The bill in the end was actually ,346," Baker said.Why such high prices?Outrageous? Not according to the hospital's medical director.Jessica Brotherton explained to us they have millions of dollars worth of high-tech equipment, from CT scanners to chemo rooms for cancer, and surgeons who perform life-saving surgery unheard of 10 years ago.As for charging up front, she says the hospital was forced to do that after dozens of people brought their pets in for expensive care, left, and never paid the bill.Hospital founder Dr. Doug Hoffman told us "there are certain treatments costs associated with that certain level of care given them, and there is a price associated with that.""Much of the equipment we have is the same you would have in a human hospital," he said.According to Consumer Reports Magazine, the hospital's fees are not unusual. The magazine also says veterinary costs have almost doubled since 2004. An overnight stay for testing typically costs over ,000, a torn ligament repair can cost ,000 and cancer treatment for a dog or cat will cost ,000 at the very least.So how can owners make sure that when their pet eventually gets sick, they're not hit with a surprise ,000 bill?Dr. Wendy Vogel urges her customers to purchase pet insurance ranging from 0 to 0 a year."I wish everyone with a pet had insurance on their pet," Vogel said.Although the cost may seem steep, she says it prevents sticker-shock for major care."They pay 90 percent of it in many cases," Vogel said. "So, if your bill is ,000, you pay only 0 out of pocket, and that allows people to do the things they want to do but could not do without the insurance."The tech site 2516

DENVER, Colo. – Buying a Christmas tree can represent the start of the holiday season. But trees can be expensive. If you want it to last until the big day, there are simple steps to take when buying the perfect tree.Doug Brown is the owner of Reindeer Ranch in Denver, Colorado. He’s been selling Christmas trees since 1997. So, he knows a thing or two about what type of Christmas tree lasts the longest.Brown says, "the noble firs and the Fraser firs tend to be the Cadillacs of trees. Those are going to be the ones that give you the best look and the most longevity."When picking a tree on the lot, Brown suggests doing the touch and smell test. If no needles fall off and it smells like pine, it’s a healthy tree.As for the price of the tree, this year you might be paying a little extra.Brown says, “we are in a tree shortage right now." That means the demand outweighs the supply. Before you leave the lot, make sure you get a fresh cut on the bottom of your tree. That way it soaks up all the water when you bring it home.Once your home Brown says, "get it into your stand and put water in it right away no longer than 6 to 8 hours."Make sure to check the water daily. A tree drinks about a gallon of water a day.Also, never place your tree next to a vent, fireplace or window because that will dry out the tree. There’s also no need to put fertilizer or Miracle Grow in the water.Brown says, if you follow these simple tips, you and your loved ones will be enjoying your perfect tree the entire holiday season.Brown is not only selling trees this year. He is also holding a toy drive too. On Saturday, December 14, they will be giving away 200 toys to families in need. The toy drive starts at 10 a.m. 1723

Chloe Na says she studied every day for several hours ahead of the 2019 Scripps National Spelling Bee.“Trying to be well-rounded and make it through the dictionary,” she says of her strategy during the competition. One word the 12-year-old girl from Valencia, California is already familiar with: perseverance.When Na was in D.C., she received some heartbreaking news. Her grandfather, one of her biggest fans, died from a heart condition.“I think he would be proud,” she says. “He was always there to support us for every spelling bee.”Na’s mother, Denise, says the family decided to stay and compete, because they know that’s what Na’s grandfather would have wanted.“He was very excited. He would text me, call me, when we were taking about the Spelling Bee, so I’m happy he got the good news,” Denise Na says.While Na did not end up making it to the finals, she’s proud of what she accomplished and happy the pressure is off. Until next year that is.“I’m gonna practice again in a few months,” Na says. “I’m not gonna start right now, and I’m gonna try to do the nationals next year.”It’s an outlook she hopes will make her grandfather proud. 1157
