Murphy's back.
I have to confess...there were times throughout the night, as I sat and enjoyed peace and quiet with no one whining to go out, no kids screaming that they found a puddle of pee, no cats being chased around...that I regretted leaving my real address and phone number when I dropped him off yesterday.
I know that's mean, but he's really cute and someone would've easily been suckered into taking him home. Probably not the vet staff, because they even acknowledged that he is mildly retarded when I came to pick him up, but they could pawn him off on someone pretty easily.
I do love him, I just think that I've come to the conclusion that we're a one-dog-at-a-time type family. I would never get rid of him (well, now that the opportunity has passed), so I'm just going to have to apply my new found knowledge to future endeavors, I guess.
I had to pick him up at 7:30 a.m. and it was a mad house there, people were all over the place. A customer in front of me was worried his dog would bother the incision and the vet helper said that she didn't think the dog would. "Someone did get a collar...who?" she looked around the room, spotted me and grinned, "Muuuuuurphy. Yep. Murphy got an e-collar. Poor Murph's not so happy," she said, chuckling. So, it was pretty clear that my dog was the "special customer" who'd been making everyone nuts. Not a surprise. He is truly a pathetic sight, poor guy.
Okay, and I know this is none of my business, and perhaps her house burned down on Monday and she got fired from her job and had all that she owned on her person at that time, but the lady in front of me got the charity rate of $12. She had perfectly manicured fingers and toes, recently highlighted hair, Victoria Secret lounge pants with a BeBe bedazzled-type shirt, a pashmina wrapped around her, at least a 3 carat diamond ring, a Tag Heuer watch and a bag that cost at least $500. As I sat there in my $9 Target Dress, clutching my crisp-from-the-bank $130, with no watch and applied-by-me toenail polish, feeling nervous about Murphy needing an e-collar and hoping it didn't cost too much more--I was kind of thinking she should be paying full fucking price.
And I know, none of my business, perhaps I would've qualified too, perhaps she is truly destitute and it was of the utmost importance that her long-haired Chiuhuaha get fixed that day, but whatever. I thought it. Now I'm saying it.
She was driving a convertible Lexus. Come on. Yes, I am envious of her lifestyle, but it's highly unlikely she needed the charity rate.
So, Murphy has a cone on his head and he's happy to be home. I'm happy the whole thing is over with, and I'll never have to refer to his undescended testicles again.

Poor Murph.
And I'm glad you don't have her lifestyle because I really don't like women like her and I really like you.
ugghh i hate that your cameras are messed up!! i need a picture!!
ok so, not to defend the obviously wealthy be-otch, but one time, when i was at the vet, i paid for everything i thought the visit would cost me and then the next day when i went to pick him up they said that they had to do something extra and i owed another $20 bucks. maybe the $12 was above and beyond what she already paid? probably not. i'm just sayin'.
That does sound terribly annoying but I agree with anonymous above, perhaps they pre-paid or something like that. Our vet allows us to pre-pay in installments since they're so expensive, although it doesn't sound like that was her issue.
I'm glad to hear that Murphy is well even if he's not the happiest puppy in the litter and that you don't have to refer to his testicles any more. (heh heh heh... I said testicles)
Some people have no shame. Case in point: even if this bitch got fired with a burnt down house, if she had the money (or someone who will give it to her) to buy all that shit, she shouldn't be sucking the charity out of others to get her dog fixed. Whore.
It was strictly a spay and neuter clinic though, and they make you pay when you pick up, and I saw that the charity rate was $12 because I thought that was amazing and a great service offered. So I'm not sure what else it could've been.
I'm with anonymous, I suspect that she's a shameless, money-grubbing whore. ;-)
Perhaps she has pet insurance and that was the copay? ;)
When I adopted my dog from a shelter for homeless pets, the adoption fee I paid included the fee for having her fixed. I only had to pay the vet the cost of pain meds.
Perhaps she's just a whore. he he he
wow...I have people who can't pay their rent here at my office and I have to chase them to get any money out of them, yet when I see them in the parking lot they are driving $80,000 cars, yet I climb into my 2005 mini...yeah
She could be a puppy foster parent. If she is connected to a rescue organization a lot of times she have deals worked out with a vet so the puppies are "fixed" before they are adopted out. Maybe??
