Do you know what pet sedatives are?

Well, my best friend Bailey found a whole bottle of them on Friday while we were both at work, and had to be taken in for emergency care! What a start to a great weekend, right? Wrong! First off, I’d do anything for him so I wasn’t too fazed when the vet said that he needed to run some test and possibly keep him overnight (I was guessing $300, and this guess didn’t sound too bad)! Secondly, all the regular vets in the area closed shop for the weekend, so I was left with no other options anyway. Now here comes the hardest part to swallow: third, our itemized estimate had a total of $1400 at the bottom of it! Man, I almost flipped my lid right there!

The vet helper (sorry, I don’t know her real title, and didn’t care to due to the fact that she had like no personality to speak of) said everything on that list was absolutely necessary, and I didn’t have pet insurance (it always sounded like a crock of bologna to me.

Whoa … it’s about freaking time! Can you imagine this: in a few short weeks the idiot (and his posse) will have left the building! NO more scare tactics. NO more turning their back on victims during grand-scale emergencies! We’re going to get out of Iraq, and not start any more trouble with any other countries! This is actually happening … This is our time, it’s our nation now … and whoever doesn’t like it (ex. people who love to live in a fearful state and watch Fox News) can kindly move up to Canada (what’s that Canada? Oh, they don’t want you up there either).

For those who care about this country’s economy (not to mention, their own finances) get ready for some serious change … YES WE CAN! Oh, that feels great to say. BTW: I found some good articles to help you pass the time, until closing time (read: beer-o-clock). Enjoy: Continued
