Well hello there....
Thought I would update for the first time in a million months. I'm always on the computer, but lately I just haven't wanted to post I guess. I'd rather read. So it's been exactly 2 months since I graduated from college and did I find a job yet? Of course not. Ya know, I thought I was going to enjoy all this time off, but now I'm realizing that I'm slowly going insane from boredom. I'm not joking either. I have been having major anxiety problems lately and had to get on medication. I know it's not all because of boredom, there are other reasons, but I think that's a major contributing factor.
Leslie and I haven't talked to or seen each other for the past month. She is going through some problems herself, and I think we just needed some time apart. I'm supposed to meet up w/her in between her jobs today, where we will probably talk about what happened...but I have a horrible habit of running away from my problems and I hate confrontation so I am dreading seeing her today. I would be extremely happy to just hang out and never talk about what's going on w/our friendship, but I know she won't let that happen.
Wayne and I are still together and our puppy had a little scare 3 weeks ago. He almost died. We came home from my house, the first time we ever left him alone over night, and he wouldn't even lift up his head. He had diahrrea all over him and he wouldn't move or come out of his cage. It was Saturday so we rushed him to the emergency room (the vet wasn't open) and they said they thought he had Parvo and had a 50/50 chance of living. Turned out he had the worst case of worms they had ever seen. He was in the ER for 2 days, on an IV (they had to shave his front legs and under his neck) and then we had to pick him up on Monday morning and transfer him to the regular vet. When we picked him up he was acting like him old self although he had an IV sticking out of his neck. He had another day to spend in the vet and then he came home. He didn't get completely better though and we had to take him back again.
700 dollars later.....
He's healthy again. Now, according to the Puppy Lemon Law, we should be able to
a) get our vet bills reimbursed to us
b) get our 1100 dollars refunded to us and give back the puppy (NOT HAPPENING)
c) exchange our puppy (STILL NOT HAPPENING)
So we call the puppy store, and they say they refuse to pay for the emergency room bill (which was 500 bucks) b/c we should have WAITED to bring him in to the vet on Monday (it's cheaper for them that way). We told him what the dog's condition was and he said that the only reason he wasn't moving was because he had hypoglycemia. This is ridiculous, as the 5 pages of documentation from the ER did not mention hypoglycemia once, but mentioned worms throughout the entire thing. I know it's a case we could win, and Wayne already has a lawyer that is willing to write a letter to the owner, but is it worth it for 500 bucks? Should we just take the 200 bucks and say forget it? How frustrating. They are supposedly already reported to the Animal Control Center b/c they have had many of their puppies in life or death situations weeks after they were bought. We found this out from a different vet after all this happened.
Drama, drama. This puppy is as much trouble as a child, but he's definitely worth it. My Gizzy Goobers.
