Anyone need a writer for hire?
My cat, as some of you know, got into it with my dog. The cat is small, the dog is large. Guess who won?
The x-rays on the cat show a broken hip, requiring pins to set it. They couldn't give me an estimate there because he has to go to an orthopedist. A cat orthopedist.
Visions of dollar signs are dancing in my head as we speak. Sigh. Any chance I can sell the dog to pay for the cat?
Luckily, the cat is not in pain. He limps around, but he's not hurting, per the vet. The problem will come when he develops arthritis in the hip if we don't fix it. I'm hoping the orthopedist takes payments, because I'm not sure how else we can handle it financially. You take on a pet, you expect to incur expenses, sure, but DANG. I sure hope none of US needs surgery next year, because all the available funds are going to the cat.
And I have to wonder--isn't it very likely he'll develop arthritis anyway, given the PINS? Yikes. Poor stupid dog fighting kitty. The dog is 80 pounds, for heaven's sake! Run away! No, no, he has to fight back. The fight lasted all of 20 seconds before we broke them up. Bah.
The weirdest things happen to us, I swear. But hey, at least we have heat and electricity this holiday season, so life is good if you ask me. Just don't ask the idiot cat.
Why IS the rum gone?
