Three for Me!


Three days that is. I love a long weekend! Thank you, Dr. King.

I wish I could say I've got exciting plans, but that's not the case. Michael's working in San Francisco tonight, so I've got the next 24 hours to myself. Those hours will fill up with the usual stuff: laundry, errands, and some housecleaning. I'm also trying to psych myself up for pruning the backyard this weekend. The weather is perfect for it, so I've really got not excuses. Tomorrow there is an antique market down the street, so I might walk over there and check it out. I haven't done that in a long time, and it would be fun.

Monday morning we're taking Buffy to see veterinarian #3. We know she needs the TPLO surgery. Our regular vet doesn't perform that surgery. The first specialist we saw told us he'd charge between $3200 - $3800. What? That's just for one knee! The surgeon we're seeing Monday charges between $2600 -$2900. It's still a big chunk of change, but we'd save several hundred dollars.

Poor Buffy!

Poor us! So, we're hoping for a big tax return this year.

Enjoy your weekend!

Good luck at the vet. So sorry about Buffy's condition. That stinks for everyone. Except maybe the vet. :)

Enjoy your long weekend. What a treat!

You scared me, when I saw the title of your post, I thought you were having triplets.
I guess Bush is giving us all tax rebates, so that will help with Buffy's knee surgery!

TPLO is so expensive, but I'm glad my Gracie got hers done (both knees!!!) She is a totally new dog now. As for school...it's soooo hard going back after these long weekends!

All caught up on your blog, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I hope Buffy is OK, and I hope that you'll have good news soon on the babymaking front! Good luck! Fingers crossed!
