The thing about German Shepherds is that they don't exhibit many (any?) warning signs. They're fine, maybe a little odd and then they're bleeding from inappropriate orifices.
The thing about life is I always remember the times it felt like I was getting ahead and then WHAM an unavoidable expense. Like an emergency vet visit. I don't remember the times when I felt like I was getting ahead and I really was.
The thing about ethics are that I don't think I'm too bad a person but then someone says I am and my dog gets sick and I wonder if I'm being punished.
The thing about friends is that when you call at midnight with a veterinary emergency the good ones not only lend you their car but drive the car, too.
The thing about now is that it's 2:23am and I've been up since 6:30 this morning (technically yesterday) and I got a lot accomplished in that time and had a good time up until the whole veterinary emergency but now it's all swirly.
The thing about my dog is that she's on antibiotics and pain meds and she'll probably be fine but she's still thirteen and a half and peeing blood.
The thing about that is that it sucks.
