I Love My Vet

When I acted on a whim and got my dog, I had no idea how much time and money I was going to have to spend on taking care of her. She is a great dog, but I really have to work at caring for her, with grooming, flea and tick prevention, annual check ups and now allergies.

Evidently she is allergic to grass. It does not make her sneeze like humans do with grass allergies. It irritates her feet like acid when she walk on it. After we go for a walk in the yard and come back in the house, she immediately starts licking her feet. Sometimes she even chews on her feet to the point that they are bleeding.

I took her to the vet so he could check her and he helped me figure out that it is allergies. So I have had to start giving her foot baths at night and when they get very sore I put a special creme on them and cover them in bandages so she can’t lick off the creme before it has a chance to work. The vet says if they get too bad that I can bring her in for a shot, but that costs $60 and she would have to get the shot at least once a month.

I never heard of dogs having an allergy to grass until she started having the sore feet. Who knew?

Open Letter to My Friend

To respect your privacy, I’m not naming you. But I want you to know this:

Sorry to read this and that you are having a hard time right now and that you don’t think you have any friends. I do want to say that to have a good friend you have to BE a good friend.

A good friend is not someone that you lie to, steal from and only talk to when you want something. It’s a two way street. And there is a huge difference between being a friend who has your best interest at heart and being an ENABLER, even if you don’t realize it at the time.

Until you get serious help and beat your drug problem, you will never know who your real friends are – they are all just people for you to exploit.

I hope you take this to heart and get help from professionals – not the “help” from your sucker list that you just want to exploit.

Some of your friends want to help you in the true sense and see you happy and productive, and yet all you do is break their heart.

When you are ready to accept real help from a real friend, call me and I will come get you. We will figure something out together. You do have real friends and I want you to know that.
