Taking one animal to the vet - inconvenient. What about two? Troublesome. Three? Foolhardy. But four? CRAZY:

"Only once I opened said door, the antiseptic smell of Vet's Office washed over the dogs and they knew where they were. This was no longer an adventurous outing, but an excursion through the gates of Hell....They both put their full body weights into pulling back against their leashes. This while I was pushing the carrier through the doorway with about half inch to spare on either side, like I was moving a dresser into a bedroom. I pushed it into the office as far as my arms would reach, then stepped back and flung the dogs in with one mighty, adrenaline-surge of strength."

Hilarious and familiar! And it sort of takes the sting out of my own recent veterinary woes, which includes over $3,000 since Thanksgiving for two cats. One broke some teeth jumping off a roof and needed oral surgery. The other has a chronic condition that is very expensive to treat (chylothorax). Be thankful if you don't live in the Calif Bay Area, where the vet bills and home mortgages are sky high. Let me know when Obamacare for pets kicks in please.

Thanks Anne! I loved your post and started my day laughing at my desk thanks to you. The pictures are awesome too. My kitties are doing pretty good. CNN the tabby girl (aka The Tank) is fully recovered from her roof mishap. Bob the chylo kitty is so far so good. We pray and take it day to day for the Bobster.

Hope you and yours have a wonderful holiday and happy new year!

we just spent about $2K on our yellow lab, our 3 dogs (the yellow lab and 2 black lab/golden retriever mixes) went out through an open window...through the screen and a hedge of holly bushes and ran rampant through the streets. poor susie got hit by a car and broke..well really shattered her leg. she just got the screws and metal bars off about 2 weeks ago.

our dogs were the same way - chocolate lab over 100 lbs, springer spaniel in the 40 lb range, and 2 miniature poodles (one overweight and one normal weight). Add to that the cats...I can sooooo relate to her post!
