    Two days in a row and you can't even get an appointment time?? I mean I could understand it if they didn't have anything available right away and had to schedule you for next week or something, but to not even let you make an appointment??? That doesn't make any sense!!

    Honestly I'd be looking for another vet if it was me. I mean if that's how they're gonna be what will they do if you have an emergency or something?

    I can't understand why you were not able to schedule an appt. Even if they were not able to see you that day, you should've been able to @ least schedule something. Find another vet if you can. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you and Ivy, sending good vibes too!!

    Ugh, the thing is that the vet himself is a very nice guy and very competent. The only problem is that they apparently won't allow you to make an appointment outside of their practice hours (which is, inconveniently, 9-5). So, if you call at 6 or even 5:30, they'll answer you but won't provide you with any service. Really, really frustrating.

    Anyways, I did manage to squeeze her into a Saturday morning appointment, so we'll see how that goes!

    If it's after hours I'm surprised they even have people answering the phone. Around here everyone has a machine that gives an outgoing message only of the hours of business and the number for the after hours ER place. Are you able to make a quick call during a lunch time or something that is during the business hours?

    Glad to hear you got a Sat. appt anyways. Keep us posted to what they say.

    I hope everything goes well. I didn't realize how lucky I am. My vet is an emergency 24hr one and there's someone there answering the phone at all times. Sorry you've had such an experience just trying to get an appointment.

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.
    [/SIZE]



    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    As am I!

    On a more sober note, I took Ivy to the park to let her burn off some energy. DUMB DUMB DUMB idea. She hit the bump on a branch or something, and it started bleeding again. Ughhhhh. I feel like crap I really hope that doesn't have any adverse affects.

    Just checking in to see how our little Ivy girl is doing. Not sure if you've been to the vet yet or not. I hope she is okay!!
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!
