It’s not been a good day today…..
We returned from a week’s holiday last night, and then drove to the local vets who had been boarding Katie, our rather ancient chocolate labrador. She had gone downhill during the week, and was incredibly anaemic and had been on medication and undergoing regular blood tests during her stay. Her anaemia was nothing compared to how pale I went when I picked up the bill!
Anyhow, after a brief row about running up unauthorised bills, I paid and we took Katie outside to the car, only to find that some person of dubious parentage had crashed into it and then buggered off.
More cursing followed, after which I calmed down, announced that it was only money, and that there were more important things in life.
Indeed, there are more important things in life, as we found out earlier today when we took Katie to our own vet, who advised us to have her put down immediately if we didn’t want her to decline into a state of suffering and confusion.
…as I said; not a good day.
