I just made an appointment with the vet for next week. I have a wonderful dear friend who just made that possible.

Unfortunately, my vet won't work on the "I'll pay you tomorrow" principal. Too many dead beats got hundreds, even thousands, of dollars worth of vet care and never paid it back. They decided that in order to keep expenses down for people who do pay their vet bills, they needed to have a cash-up-front policy. I can't say I blame them.

I adore my vet, and they love when Pouncer comes in. He's famous in there!
