Let me tell you a little ditty about two dogs, a toddler, me and the vet

Yeah so today was one of those days, actually like most of my days where I am without help from my husband because he is out of town working.

Trying to be smart I made an appointment last week for both my dogs to get their Bordatella up the nose stuff so they can be boarded in April when we go on vacation.

What I mean by trying to be smart is getting an appointment together to cut down on trip and work for me, hahahahaah.

Yeah well that never happens because of course I find out Saturday night as my husband is leaving to El Paso that it is on me alone AGAIN. Ugh wouldn't be bad with just the two dogs but add in my Toddler who is more then a handful and you have your self a situation that would surely break Mother Theresa!

OK here is how it went.

1. Load the boy and the big dog into the car.

2. Try to get little dog to walk out to the car on a leash (think Cat on a leash)

3. Try to get in car seat without sitting on little dog

4. pull little dog out from behind me repeatedly.

5. Get to vet run inside and pass the little dog like a football so that I can get out to the care for my child and the big dog before some idiot calls the police for leaving them in the car. (both a felony here even for a second!)

6. Get Big dog and little boy into office while being pulled hard and struggling to hold onto my son who thinks its funny to try to run into traffic.

7. Wait, wait, and wait some more.

8. Little dog taken care of.

9. Bog dog ears looked at then get told by the vet he is due for his Rabies in March. Me "great can we do it now" Vet "well we can but the county will penalize you and show that it was given a year in advance not a couple months and you will lose a years worth of the 3 years in between shots" me " Damn county, guess Ill wait and come back again in March" Vet yeah they stink ok I will not charge you for Big dog today.

10. Try to get out to receptionist again all the while little dog in my arms, son charging for other dogs, and big dog thinking he's the Alpha ack!

11. Hand little dog to one receptionist, boy to the other and run out to my car to put up big dog.

12. Pay and repeat the same thing as this AM with little dog.

whew I'm spent freaking Pima County I mean really? I could chose not to license my dogs then you would get crap, BUT NO I am a law abiding citizen and you screw me every chance you get. not only this but with little dog. Its cheaper to register once they are altered, ok but little dogs need to wait a while compared to big dogs. I wait get her fixed then go to register her and get hit with an additional $10.50 because I waited more the 30 days after i got her, BUT if I registered he prior to altering I would have paid $50.00 more!!!! Hmm cant win for losing.

I sweat these are the days I want a smoke and a glass of wine!

Hey Lisa!!

I feel ur pain.
DH is up to leave in a few months, he's up for deployment to go to either Iraq or afghanistan for 6 plus months, we r not sure which one yet. I'm dreading the day he leaves and I'm on my own handling everything grrr... As for getting help that's an impossability all of our family members live on the East Coast, so I'll be flying Solo. Ahem we still need to take the kids to Chuckie Cheese LOL!!! TTYL :)
