I've sent the better part of the past week visiting various veterinary clinics. First our dog needed shots. Then our cat was having several health problems. Then my sister's dog needed his ears seen to, nails trimmed, yearly exam, and shots. And now today we had to take the cat back to have some teeth pulled. Needless to say I've been forced into contact with several different vets and I gotta say that I am not satisfied with our guy. His assistant is great! My sister's vet is great! But our guy... condescending, rude, argumentative, and downright unprofessional. Granted he was having a hard morning because some puppy had needed emergency work after an attack, and maybe we had put off dental work just a little too long, but I walked away hating the man. Now I need a better job more than ever so that I can get our pets some decent health care. After our meeting I wouldn't trust this guy to remove a hang nail! Talk about learning a lesson in searching for the best care as opposed to the cheapest...
On another note, my sister will be home from Hawaii in less than 24 hours. Weird. I can't figure where the summer has gone. It seems like she just barely left.
On the plus side however, the end of summer means more work for me. At least I can earn a pittance while I search for better employment.
