Pugly

I love/hate my dog. Right now we are in the hate period.

Today my dog cost me $410. She is lucky to have come home. Apparently it costs more then $410 to put a dog to sleep.

Bailey, my pug, is almost 6 years old. Today we learned that she had a triple chronic ear infection. She was partly deaf because of it. Also, her anal glands had to be popped. I don't want to give more details, but being that "popping anal glands" is in a vet's job description... I am thankful that I am a recruiter.

To put this in perspective, my daughter got tubes put in both her ears. This procedure will cost us $83 more then the dog's vet visit. I am grateful that my daughter does not wake up with ear infections anymore, and would pay a small fortune for it. On the other hand, Bailey will be lucky to get $8 more out of the household budget the rest of the year.

So, today we learned that Bailey is in perfect health except for her ears, her face, and her butt.

For those of you pet lovers who think I am being mean....Want a pug?

Because they are worth any amount of money, I love my girls....
