3 Bad Ideas = 1 Long Night

Bad Idea #1: Erica is in a bad mood because she's been sick for a few days and hasn't gotten out of the house. We should get out of the house and go some place public.

Bad Idea #2: Troy is getting home late from work tonight (2am) so we should get out of the house just before bedtime.

Bad Idea #3: Kayla needs her shots and it's cheaper to go to the humane society.

1 Long Night: Although we showed up at the humane society at 6pm, it took 2 hours before Kayla got her shots. I'm trying to keep Kayla from socializing with a million other disgusting dogs (strays, sick, dog's with patches of skin gone, etc.), while trying to keep Erica from losing it (See Bad Idea #1). We finally made it home by 9pm, with Erica crying the whole way.

Lesson Learned: It's worth paying a little extra money to go to the vet.

that doesn't sound good... you know they do shots at the rincon farmers market too. cherece took her cat there and it was quick and easy, just so you know for next time, it's 2 saturdays a month, not sure which, but just a thought :-)

i'm sorry - what an unfun event. I've done that same thing before...well, bad ideas #1 and #2. I haven't had a pet that needed to go to the vet, but I'll keep that one in mind :)

hope you got to sleep in today!

I should've come over today so we could be miserable together. Long nights are no fun!

The line that made me laugh from this post: "...other disgusting dogs."

Oh, that was great.

And I hear ya about those bad times. They are bad when they're bad, huh?

Sounds like it was mainly the dogs fault.

Next time, try Animal Birth Control for shots. They're at 22nd & Craycroft, shots are only $10 and sometimes they have deals for $8. They specialize in shots & spay/neuetering. We took Rosco there & it's a nice place (other than being almost next door to a gentlemen's club - if you want to call it that)
