It Happens Sometimes
No one is perfect and someone at the vet’s office effed up in an epic way.  We were scheduled for a scan today.  I couldn’t remember what time and I noticed I hadn’t heard from the vet office to confirm.  So I called them yesterday.  Well guess what, the lovely lady informed me that the oncology professionals were out of the office until Thursday and that our appointment had been canceled.  Would have been nice if someone had told ME.  I was given the option of seeing a different oncologist on Thursday or taking the noon appointment on Monday that oh wait, someone must have just taken it so do I want Thursday ( no other options were presented).  Clearly they had no idea who they were dealing with.  I said no, I won’t take Thursday and you WILL fit me in next week and if I have to come sit in the office for a day……I will.  Mind you I was nice, said I know it wasn’t her fault that no one called me but she could help make it right.  She said she would page my oncologist and call me back when she heard  back.  No call so far.  I’ll be calling later today……and again and again until I have confirmation.  I’m lovely until you mess with my child or my dogs.  Then I’m a stark raving deadly calm lunatic b*tch 🙂  My son knows that when I get calm and no nonsense things are about to get real.
In the mean time, barrels of chicken livers later, my girl is doing, well, awesome.  She played in the horse load of snow that was so lovingly dumped upon our land.  She is still going after her frenemy.  She is eating more than my teenage growing boy son and sleeping comfortably with no wheezing, difficulty breathing or discomfort.  I don’t know if it’s the cannabis or the Palladia but my gut tells me something is going right.  And I still try to stretch every minute out into two while I’m with her and her brother.  I didn’t know if I’d get a month with her let alone five.  What a blessing.  The spoiling has been pretty epic too.  So I guess I can forgive the vet’s office.  But they WILL fit me in 🙂
Thanks for reading, have a great day

Thank you Sally and gang 🙂
When it comes to my kids……well, let me just say this, my son calls me “Mama Bear” and he means it. When he was in third grade, one of his classmates said something that wasn’t very nice and he said “don’t make me tell my mom on you” and his little buddy chimed in “yeah…….she’s really scary. I’m even scared of her and she LIKES me”. OMG…….Guess I’ve been this way for a while now hehe. I don’t scare the kids anymore but the vets office…….dentist office……teachers….well, I take a firm stance 😉
I hope you and the pack are still awesome and happy. I’m sure you are.

LOL, thank you Linda and spirit Max (xoxo),
When it comes to any of my kids, human or canine, more than one person has learned from experience that I don’t let ANYONE give us less than what they deserve. And guess what, they fit me in 🙂
Hugs to you, love to spirit Max

Go Mama Bear! Those vets will bow down before you to fit you in, I just know it.
And it is so good to hear how well Patches is doing and how she is living life to the fullest and being spoiled rotten! One day at a time 🙂 It just doesn’t get any better than that. What a lucky girl she is to have landed in your home!!
