it's craptacular

i think it's time to find a new vet. poor wiley, our wonder rescue chessie hasn't been feeling well since saturday. he yakked a couple times and then had "stomach issues". oh joy. sunday he didn't eat at all, not even a snausage treat but he was drinking. and yes, the first thing I did saturday was feel his throat and body just to make sure we didn't have a repeat of the ball swallowing incident. debated calling work yesterday so i could bring him in, but luckily my hubby returned from his weekend trip to take him in later.

of course they wanted to keep him overnight. we call today for an update and they tell us his temp is good, "he's eating good" (not the time to correct their poor grammar) but "he has a nasty case of diarrhea." no shit. i then explained to the desk person i knew he wasn't feeling well because he wouldn't eat his snausage. she thought i said sausage. i then had to explain what a snausage was to this woman. are you kidding me? Ever been in a grocery store?? Her reason for not knowing these dog treats? she only bought food for her pets from the vet. okkkay.

trust me, i know what MY dogs are like and could have taken care of a simple case myself. we've had to give them immodium before and have had enough experience with ear infections and everything else. *rolls eyes* if they kept him overnight have they done the bloodwork like they said they were going to yesterday?
I'm not freaking out; I'm jsut a little ticked off and i won't be going in there later, the hubby is.
other than a sick puppy, it's been a good week.

friday when I arrived home from work, my garbage dvd was waiting for me on the front step. changed, made a pasta dish while the videos played and- what perfect timing- sat down with my dinner and a glass of beaujolais to watch the documentary.
saw the 11th hour saturday.
it's my weekend and we're celebrating our anniversary a couple days early on thursday by dining at the Joel Palmer House...yum. and I'm buying these rocking shoes. :)
