Priceless


registered Labrador puppy $300
first set of vaccinations $100
trip to emergency vet for broken leg $483


A lifetime of affection and friendship: Priceless



So we've now had the Winni girl for a month or so and she's quite the expensive little pup. Today, we had our first emergency vet trip with her. She is a daredevil and not so coordinated and somehow she broke her leg playing in the backyard. We figure she was jumping off the chair and got her leg stuck and it broke. She's now in a splint and one of the cool collars aka satellite dish. She hasn't stopped whimpering since we got home from the doctor's office. We've got to keep her calm and basically immobile for 6 weeks to keep her from having surgery on the leg. I feel so bad for her, but can't do much for her. I'm not expecting to sleep too well tonight as I'm taking post on the couch near the whimpering dog. Occasionally she'll roll over or try to stand up and the crying begins. Wish me luck sleeping tonight.

CVS Friday



Today Lizzie and I went to CVS for the weekly trip. I really needed to get the hair gel for N8 b/c this is the only kind he likes. He has a lot of hair that can get really unmanageable :-) I don't know what the deal is, but anyway this is his brand of choice so I had to get some. I just wanted to show that I really do get stuff for free! This is my receipt for proof! The little bottle of gillette was a freebie in the mail today so I threw it in the pic too.
Mom, now do you believe me?
