Pebbles Update

Today was a weird blah odd day.
Pebbles went to the vet as I mentioned this morning.

She has a heart murmur.
It is new.
Which means something is going on.

The only way to find out what is going on is to have an echocardiogram.
Which costs $500.
Today cost $400.
This is the crappy part of having pets.
The vet told me about a payment plan thing I need to investigate.

I asked the vet "What if I don't do anything?"

The vet said if something is going on she could throw a blood clot and have a stroke, or it could go in a limb and she would be in a lot of pain, could also cause blindness......and the bill on dealing with that would be a lot worse.

And also I know she would suffer and Daya would be devastated.

It could be nothing or she might have to go on heart medication.
We think Pebbles is 11-12 years old.

So I think I have to do...something.
Daya was upset.

*****
After Pebbles got out of the vet, it was too late to paint but too early to call it a day so... I didn't really know what to do with myself.
I felt too scrambled to paint.

I tried taking a nap.
I contemplated going out but the timing didn't seem worthwhile.
Then I saw my friends were online so I just stayed in and played my game with my friends, and it took my mind off things.

*****
Isis gets really mad when Pebbles comes back from the vet.
I think it is the smell of the vet office... it turns Isis all wild and mean and growly.

Isis was so pissed off she didn't even eat lunch!

I had a chat with her.

I said "You didn't go to the vet, and you didn't pay for it, so what's your problem?"
She just sat in the window and glared at me.
