This Face...these eyes

Now tell me, could you resist? Could you say "no" to her for any reason? Even if it meant $435?
Daisy is my baby...my first weenie dog. She was acting a little off for the past couple of days and when a dachshund doesn't eat, you KNOW somethings wrong. Yesterday morning she looked pretty sick so I left my credit card for Kris and Betina to take her to the vet while I was at work. Kris called to tell me that she had welts all over her body and that she looked terrible. Off to the vet they went.
He thought she could be having an allergic reaction to a sting or bite of some kind and did some blood work. I would really like to know how a vet can do a bazillion blood tests and get the results back in less than an hour and when I go in for the exact same things, it takes 2-3 days. Very strange....and I have insurance. Maybe from now on I should go to the vet for all my lab work. I'll have to ask about that.
So...darling hubby still doesn't know how much Miss Daisy cost us yesterday and I don't care. I know that's a lot of money, but please, again I ask you to look at that face and you tell me how you could have said, "no". It just wasn't going to happen.
She's doing much better today and I hope my sweet little weenie is wagging her tail and barking like a mad woman when I walk in the door tonight.

See? I just can't picture me writing something like that. First of all I have a cat.

And then there's the "barking mad woman" part. Well it's the "hope" for the "barking mad woman" part which caught my eye and left it hanging from its socket.

What's the vet charge for something like that-no insurance, self pay?

PS. Good luck with Daisy and Rusty. Hope it's not spiders in the yard again.
