Day do-over

This has not been the greatest day.

It started out alright. I got up and got ready to take Katie and Jager to the vet.

First we stopped at Petco. I don't know what I was thinking, but I thought it was a good idea to take both dogs into the store. Katie is just so neurotic, that I should have known she'd bark and go nuts. Jager, as always, is my well behaved little man. We needed a new harness for Miss Katie since she's such a chub. I found the cutest pink polka dotted harness with a matching leash. Then I noticed the skull and crossbones harness and leash. He had to have it.

I never had this much trouble with my children as I did "dressing" these two small dogs. It wasn't just getting the harness' on them.....but there were little kids....and they LOVE little kids.

$99 later.....we were on our way to Walmart......I noticed the motorcycle policeman behind me, but proceeded to "just drive" on my way. See where this is going? Of course....there go the lights and I pull over. I knew exactly why he stopped me. It was bound to happen.

Before you judge me.....or say "it's your fault".....I already know that. Actually I honestly think this is Walt's department. Making the car road "worthy" in my book is his responsibility. I pay the bills...make the payments......

On with the story. Now him pulling me over wouldn't have been such a big deal if Katie hadn't been in the car. That dog started barking and raising all kinds of cane.....she's in the back window....she's jumping from the back to the front.....she's everywhere. Ok, so my tabs were expired.....very expired....after explaining the emissions issue.....he still gave me a ticket. Still, getting the ticket wouldn't have been such a big deal (even to the tune of $200), but my dog was barking so loud, she could have drawn a crowd. People would think she was being killed or something.

After thanking the policeman for the ticket......(eyes rolling)......we proceeded to the drug store nearest to the vet to pick up the items I was going to Walmart for.

We got to the vet, and you'd think this was Katie's first visit to a vet's office. She barked....she whined.....she was nutso. I don't know why I was shocked or surprised. She's just this way all the time. We get into the examination room, and she's barking......now I have a headache.

Thankfully the staff and doctor are wonderful. She quiets down. Jager was the firs to be examined and given his shots. My little man weights 14 pounds.....if I hadn't seen it for myself, I'd never believe it. He's so sweet, and just lets them do whatever.

It's Katie's turn.....by now she's curious and calmed down. The doctor picks her up, and on the scale she goes. 16 pounds. How is that this chunk of a dog only weighs two pounds more than Jager?? I'm shocked. She actually did pretty good through the examination.

They were ready to head out the door after leaving the room.....we must pay.....LOL Katie starts in again.....she's just crazy. I was never so glad to get back into the car in all my life.....

I'm exhausted. They of course are sacked out from their adventure and shots. I could have it so easy....

I'm just ready for this day to be over, and move on.

through the negative, positives came through: it's sunny; ice cream; Judge Judy; a short nap; looking forward to having dinner at Sonic with Walt
