I think the issue with our local vet is she's the only small town vet around and she deals with lots of farm animals and people without the money to pay for anything big. She has told us a few times she doesn't want to do something that will run us up a big bill, and we say NO PLEASE DO if it will help. I would just rather know what's going on than wait for it to get worse! I think she tries to get by with doing the bare minimum because it's what most of her clients want, but not us. We want the best care.

Well, funny story, the sitter hasn't been around for a week... I got a nasty virus last week and had to be swabbed for strep throat (turned out I didn't have it.. just a viral infection!) so I stayed home with the dogs Wednesday-Friday last week. The sitter was going to come today, but yesterday my eye started bothering me, and today I went to the doctor and I have pink eye!!! For goodness sakes, I can't catch a break!!! Tomorrow I shouldn't be contagious anymore so I can go back to work and the sitter can come back to work here... I feel bad that I'm taking money from her by being sick!
