Z fold variation

In true hand made tradition, I 

folded this card backwards.

So not only did I make a lot

of extra work for myself,

but it also looks goofy.

Fortunately I have friends

and family who will overlook

my stupid mistakes and like the

card anyway.  Maybe I'll get

ambitious and make another

the correct way.

It's been a rough weekend.  I think

it's going to be time soon, to let my

dog, Neelix, cross over the rainbow

bridge.  I can't bring myself to say

the words that that really means.  I've

never had to do anything like this before,

and certainly not alone.  He's become

incontinent over the past few months

and I am sure this doesn't make him

any more happy than it does me.  So

I take him to the vet that is here

in town and explain the situation.

They've been seeing my dogs for

years and I have become increasingly

certain that they enjoy spending my 

money more than I do..  So these idiots

want to do expensive blood tests

because he might have kidney

disease or diabetes.  And?  I told

them no.  Well, maybe he's in pain.

I'm sure he is.  He stumbles sometimes

and I think his hips are hurting.  But

that doesn't have anything to do with

incontinence.  So I let them talk

me into pain pills, came home

and called the vet in Ft. Wayne that

cares for my birds.  She has seen

each of the dogs when we first

got them , but

I thought it made more sense

to take them here locally.  I can't

do that with the birds.  They need

an avian vet.  I have known

her for about 17 years, trust her and

 know she's not going to take my money

for something that there's no cure for.

I'll be taking him there on

Monday morning.  She will give

me the guidance I need.

Compassionately.

 

Oh, and to top it off, this vet here

in Angola kindly gave me an

extremely expensive

estimate for a teeth cleaning.

REALLY??
