What else could go wrong?

Nothing really big happened...just a few small things. The dog cut himself really bad....inbetween the toes...this morning he was bleeding really bad and it is literally all over the back patio. Wes saturated several paper towels before he left for work. He had to get to work...so I was left to fend for myself. The bleeding has stopped and he is in good spirits with a slight limp.

The lawnmower quit working....I unclogged it and am waiting a few minutes to cool it down and see if it will start later. Hopefully.

Just found out that Huck is ready for his rabies shot...another $51 that I wasn't planning on spending. I am forgoing the other vaccinations that they are recommending...and I am hoping I make the right decision. One of the vaccination that I am skipping is for 'kennel cough' which is like a cold in a human....I don't vaccinate myself for a cold...so I don't know why I need that for a dog. Another thing I am skipping is the test for heartworm.....since the day I got him I have been paying $7 a month for heartguard to prevent heartworms...they 'recommend' the test again (he was tested at the beginning of starting heartguard) I again don't understand testing him to possibly see if he has heartworms....I have had him on heartguard every month and he doesn't seem to be sick so I am waiving that test. The lady at the vet's office really made me feel like complete shit for not testing for heartworm and not getting the kennel cough vaccination. I wanted to slap her.

Wes has been working a lot so I don't see him much. We haven't done anything fun on the weekend just him and I in a while because he has been working..but thank God he is working...he is the one supporting us!!!

One good note. We might be joining a Pinochle group. Neither of us know how to play pinochle...I hope that is not a problem lol.
