...Pets are not a disposable commodity.
my thoughts exactly. and precisely the reason my ex is my ex. she gave me an ultimatum -- either her or the dog -- so it's just me and doggy for now.
my boss had to give my supervisor a talkin' to a long time ago because he was giving me ***** about taking a day off to get her broken tooth fixed. my supervisor was telling me i should just adopt a new dog becuase it was cheaper than the dentist. i would have smacked the dude if i didn't think he'd break me in half.
sorry to hear about your dog, though. i'm sure she's grateful.
