The Good And The Bad

The Good News is that Michelle and I got a lot accomplished today and also had some fun.

- I dropped the car off this morning and they put a new driver-side mirror in it.
(Two nights ago Michelle and I were driving home and she noticed it was missing, No Idea Where it Fell Out).

- Michelle and I have found a solution to our debt problem and are now enacting it.

- We got the Clearwire account transferred to come out of a new banking account. And we are closing the account it was on.

- We went to Outback Steak House for lunch.

- We went to the Vet and Miss Madelyne got her routine shots up-to-date (two weeks ahead a time, hurray!).

- We went to the country and I got to meet B.J. for the first time (a friend's puppy - beagle mix).

- My friend was able to catch the kitty cat yesterday, using the cat trap (we hated doing that) and took her to the country. Kitty's hiding in her new home right now, but she will get used to her new surrounds - I did find her in her hiding spot - she's such a pretty baby.

************************************
And now for the Bad News...

- I noticed when playing with Little Bear last night that his top, back tooth was split, and when I touched it it moved. He still chews with it and he doesn't act like it's bothering him - But because it's loose - I worry - we took him to the Vet with Madelyne and I showed the Vet his tooth.

There is No Way anyone but me can put their finger in Little Bear's mouth and not get it bitten.

I showed which tooth it was - the Vet said I'll have to schedule a day soon to have it removed. THEN she charged me $29.00 for Little Bear's visit (I find that annoying, I knew the tooth was going to have to be removed and she charges ME when I found the tooth and pointed it out - that's Stupid.

The estimate is $427 without the take home medicine for after the tooth removal.

I just paid $600 for Lily's operation in November.

(Me Crying)


I'm going to get an estimate from another Vet tomorrow. I shopped around a little for Lily's operation and saved $200. I hope that happens again (cross your fingers)

I'm hoping to do the tooth removal on Tuesday or Thursday. I just got my schedule today. If I find an okay deal I'm going to call the Vet tomorrow to make the appointment.

I wish Vet Offices operated on Saturdays' since I only have a work meeting tomorrow for two hours. It would be so convenient - no such luck for me

(Of course - real luck would be Little Bear not having to have his tooth removed at all!).

Vet bills are SO aggravating. Luckily for me, Guide Dogs pays for the puppies' trips to the vet. It's like... walking through the door: $100. Weighing your dog: $100. Breathing: $100. Scratching your nose: $100 etc., etc., etc. ;)
