Right when, within 24-hours of uttering the words to my dad, "wow, I've been able to actually save up a little money and have a wee bit of a cushion", do I no sooner have to shell out more money to the vet... YET AGAIN!
After spending oodles and oodles of money that I don't have over the summer for a new medicine regiment and "special" dog food. Having to float some bills. Having to creatively smart grocery shop (yes, as always anyway!!!). Not being able to replace the two pairs of shoes that I HAVE to wear over and over and over and over again that are on the verge of disintegrating before my eyes. Having to shell out yet more money for the public school Miracle goes to that needs donations and PTO and fund raisers and....
Poor Boomer, my little knight of a furry four-legged beacon of utter unconditional love!!!
He had a bout of :: ahem :: diarrhea for about four days. He was eating and drinking and being his usual flexible, I-don't-want-to-worry-or-inconvenience-anyone self. I took "a sample" to the vet where he proceeded to tell me that he had no parasites... but, then that would mean no money for him! So, of course, we need to take a course of action with i/d Prescription food for gastrointestinal issues, then a pill for the diarrhea and a pill for something or other else.
Well, because I am who I am, I went for it. And, yes, that was after I broke down in the vet's office yammering about the money I spent over the summer and how I'm really struggling to make it. I REALLY am!!!
And then I look down at that honey colored furry friend of mine with the golden brown eyes. "It's okay, mommy" he seemed to say. "It's okay, mommy, cuz it's always okay. It always works out."
God, I love that dog!!! My heart fills with the warmth of the blood gushing and rushing around when I look at that face! That handsome little knight of a furry four-legged beacon of utter unconditional love face!!!
