Sign Of The Times

Brought the kids to Petco for their Bordatella shots today.  When we went 6 months ago we were the only customer there at the time.  Today, there were 10 other dogs and 2 cats waiting to get their shots.  I surmised it's the recession; all the owners are skipping the pets' vet visits and just getting the necessary shots.  Mocha was supposed to see her vet to evaluate the lump on her tail, but I pushed it off until next time because the lump was actually softening.  I figured that was a good sign.  The last thing I need is for her doctor to stick a needle in there and have it get infected again.  Then I'll have to hem & haw and try to get out of buying the antibiotics directly from her, but instead calling it into the pharmacy under J's name.
