A word of advice

Just wanted to mention that if by chance any of you are lucky enough to be a contestant on the Price Is Right and the person before you bids $600 for an item, it is probably not the best idea to then bid $599. I'm just saying...... Some poor lady got confused.

Four more days til our vacation! Yeah! Good thing, too, cause I was starting to have withdrawals from not being on an airplane for too long.

I'm ticked at Harley's usual vet clinic, again. I just found out yesterday that they have jacked up their bording charges by $5 a day. That makes it nearly $18 a day to board a Chihuahua, I'd hate to see what they charge for a big dog. And since next week is a holiday week, all the other clinics are full (I called, a lot), so we're stuck there. This makes reason #2 for finding a new place for him. Reason #1? He 's been on Rx food for 8 years, Science Diet I/D (for sensitive stomach), cause he has IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome, lovely isn't it, hehehe). So, he was out of food, and I went there to buy a bag, and they wouldn't sell me a bag cause he was due for an exam and one of his shots. So, I refused to do it because they ticked me off. Neither having the exam or the shot has anything to do his food or his sensitive stomach. It's not like they can test for that during the exam. Which is why I was so glad to win the free exam and shots from that other clinic. And now he has new food that I don't have to get from a vet and he hasn't had any problems with the switch.

I say you put him on the cheapest food you can find while he's being boarded there just to teach them a little lesson. I hate vets.

Hope y'all have a BLAST on your vacation!

The thought of boarding just sends shivers up my spine. Boarding 3 dogs is not fun. Or cheap.

We had a great kennel in Huntsville that was $9 for the first, 8 for the second and 7 for the third if they were in the same pen. I couldn't find anything nearly that cheap down here. And the lady that owned it was soooo sweet. She loves those dogs.

Ditto on the cheapo food since they wouldn't sell you his regular stuff. Get all your money's worth out of his visit!
