My Dog’s in the Emergency Room :(
Hey everyone… I know you guys and gossip girls come to the blog daily to catch up with the latest poppin’ culture and gay stuff and yea… this post is going to be very personal so please excuse the grammar, spelling, and asian accent.
I just want to give a big apology for the past two days. Tuesday I went office shopping and when I did have time to start blogging my host was down! No good! Today… everything was going great — I even received a call from the publisher of the Dallas Voice — but then 12 noon struck and I got a phone call from a lady who found my dog and said he was injured. I went to go pick him up and his ass was like cut open or some shit. !WARNING: Images may be a little too graphic!
I didn’t know what the heck to do so I took him to the Vet I normally take him too… the Banfield Pet Hospital. We got there, they checked him in and gave me an estimate of $164-204 bucks for the stitching. I said fine and signed the paper. My sister and I left the store expecting to come back to pick him up later.
On our way home the vet calls and says the problem is more serious than they thought and would require a blood test, x-rays, and some other crud. I asked her how much it would be and she pulled my drag hair to the floor and said “$790.00″ estimate!
By now my jaw dropped to the floor and I was crying because I didn’t know how I was going to pay for the vet bill — I can’t just leave my dog to gather a bacterial infection with his ass wide open — anyhow she calls me back and said they offer a ‘Pet Credit’, but it would require me to drive back and do some paper work.
So I drive back, signed the damn thing… while doing so one of the nurses hissed at me and told me that I can lower the bill by upgrading my insurance plan. You see, currently I’m paying 16.95/month for vaccinations and normal treatment. The upgrade would be a 2-plan pass over up to their ‘Optimum’ plan which covers x-rays, blood work and all that other stuff.
So I decided to go ahead and upgraded my plan… she re-estimated my bill and it came out to 364.00! I was so happy. My baby, TJ - the beagle, had to stay overnight after his surgery. I’m glad he’s doing better. Well yup… that’s why I did not post Wednesday. Hope you can forgive me.

I know trey, one thing that I can say about the local vet here is that I can bribe them with fruit stuffs in the farm so the service is free even a major operation. Its called Mastercard, priceless…Sorry to know about what happen trey. I know accidents can happen anytime…but its just comforting to know that your dog was taken care of..so that is nice to know…Unlike my dog who at this time its, way past 4 in the afternoon is not yet home, after he eats in the morning he goes on his own and I mean go to the major center of town which is like 15 minutes by car or by foot maybe forever! i don’t know if its my dog or what cause everybody knows it and he goes to everyone, he comes home to eat and off he goes…
