Last night when I was trying to go to sleep, I remembered another thing she said.

Two days after I got Aspen, I got some really bad unexpected financial news and I'm temporarily dirt poor.

So when I made Aspen's appointment, I said all I could do was get her rabies shot and license and the rest would have to wait until I could afford it.

The vet said that the reason I wasn't getting the heartworm test, giardia vaccine, lyme vaccine and the whole nine yards was because she might not work out and I didn't want to invest a lot of money in her.

How dare she make that assumption?
