There's another $1000 that I don't have gone.

Greg... I know most people will tell you otherwise... but we've owned 2 labs, and 3 out of the 4 times my father and I have just pulled the quills carefully with needlenose pliers... and everything has been fine. Ofcourse vet-removal is reccomended... but the upon talking to our vet about it, he didnt seem too concerned. Hope their faces arent' too full! (and hopefully they learned their lesson... ours did not... one of the two did it 3 times over his life lol)

Cheers,
