Contest "winner", and more big vet bills
| I only had one commenter who wanted my copy of Bridal Bargains, so she can have it. Congrats, Amy! Just let me know where to send it, and I'll get it in the mail by Monday. In less happy news, Fizzgigg needs surgery. :( Expensive surgery, at that. It's not life-or-death or anything, but he has an open sore on his front leg that (look away now if you're sqeamish) the bone is showing through (it's okay now, you can look back). I took him to the vet weeks ago, and they told me to keep it bandaged and give it more time to heal. A month later, and it hasn't shown any signs of healing on its own, so I took him back yesterday. I thought he would just need some stitches, but the vet gave some fancy word for what's wrong with him and said that he'll need surgery, and a lot of medication afterwards, and gave me an estimate of nearly $200. So tomorrow morning Fizzgigg goes back to finally get his leg fixed, and I get to dip into our savings to pay for it. I'm not going to complain, though, because he's worth it, and I'd pay a lot more than that to keep him from being in pain. This vet's cost estimates tend to run higher than the actual cost, though, so I'm hoping this will be one of those times. Let this serve once again as a reminder that pets can be expensive, and we should all make sure we can afford to give them proper care before committing to be their caretakers. |

Thank you so much again!!
It's coming, Amy. I took it home to get it ready to mail and then I kept forgetting to bring it back to work with me so I could actually mail it. But it's in the mail as of this afternoon. Sorry for such a long delay.
