Friday night was awesome! My husband is a high school football coach and we won, so, we are playing for the State Championship on Thursday Deccember 7th for the first tiime since the 1980s! It is a wonderful feeling!!
Well, My two year old started running fever for the 2nd time in two weeks. I think he is getting his two year mollars! And his teeth have always taken forever to break through!
Then, our daschund does not come to the door to come in as usual this morning. So, a little later my husband went looking for him. He is laying in our back yard. And excuse my french but his "nut sack" is busted open. We try for 2-3 hours to find a vet b/c they have all JUST closed for the day, so, we need an emergency visit.
During all of this my mother and I are hosting a table at our Annual Ladies Christmas Tea at church.
We finally get a vet. My dad finds one for us. He goes with my husband to take our dog to the vet, my FIL comes to keep my son (30 minutes after the Tea started b/c he CANNOT hurry!).
$260 later our dog will be fine. He apparently got in a fight with another dog or something. We also find out through this that he has a defect that was NOT caught when we had him checked when we bought him. Which means if we ever wanted to breed our long haired registered daschund that you can sell puppies for $400-500 we cannot now b/c it is hereditary. Well, we could but they have to be sold with this being known and of course will dragastically reduce the chances of selling them. The vet said whoever missed this in the vet check is a DUMBA** for missing something this big. We are really not upset about that b/c thankfully we did not buy to breed we just bought for a pet. But it is annoying to find out. It does mean that he will need additional surgery at some point b/c the defect has to have some adjustments are it can casue cancer among a few things.
Then our front steps have a crack in them and in the freezing weather they picked this week to get worse and they FELL IN this afternoon. Thankfully no one got hurt walking on them when they did.
There is A LOT of thankfulness in this since our dog will be fine, no one got hurt with the steps, the Tea was awesome and we had a great time in Jesus but I am still aggravated with the day as anyone would be, so, I thought I would share with my fellow friend Cheffers.
Another great thing is my next PC check wil pay over half of the vet bill too! That did help my husband's feelings who did not really want to get another dog in the first place!
