rahirahIt never fails -- Kathy leaves to visit her mother for a week, and something bad happens to one of the animals while I'm the only one here to deal with it. I leave the house, Bo is fine. I come back half an hour later and he's limping around unable to put any weight at all on his right front foot. And of course it's seven o fucking clock at night on a Friday and our vet is closed.
I can't see any obvious injuries, and he seems to be fine otherwise. He whimpers when I try to examine the pads of his foot, though, and won't let me touch them. I'm afraid that he's stepped on a tiny piece of glass or something. And he keeps hopping around like a three-legged maniac, giving me accusing "Why don't you fix this?" looks.
Damn, damn, damn. Luckily our vet does have Saturday hours so I can bring him in first thing tomorrow. If I can get him into the car.
And I'd just today paid off the last round of vet bills. Sigh.
