Oh Holidaaay

Okay, so today seems to be a better day. No reason in particular, just feels like a better day. It's the eve before Christmas Eve and I'm feeling festive. Da doo run run run da doo run run.

That'll be $500 please...

Okay, so I hate vets...I mean, I guess I don't "hate" them, but they do aggravate me. So our dog Skeeto decided to break one of her nails and now she is in pain and limping...and there's not a fucking thing we can do about it. I called the vet and they told me, 'yeah, it'll cost you between $400 - $525 'cause we'll need to put her under and fix the nail and then she's gonna need antibiotics.' Okay, I didn't say she was going to need a liver transplant...Why the hell is it going to cost me upwards of $500 to get my dog's nail fixed? That must be some pretty fancy anesthesia...I want some!!!
Vets make it nearly impossible to have a pet treated unless you are very well off...and then they make you feel like an irresponsible pet owner because you don't have $500 underneath your couch cushion...and at Christmastime no less.
Whatever...so I called a pet clinic and she laughed aloud when I told her how much the vet hospital was going to charge me...she told me a high estimate would be around $140 - $160 ONLY IF they had to use anesthesia. Otherwise it would be $34 for the exam and then the cost of some antibiotics. Okay, so a little more reasonable...but again, here we are at Christmastime and the bank account is empty...guess I'll go spend the last dollar I have and hope that it produces the winning numbers for Saturday's lotto.
