No, Not Me

My Two Kiddos

I felt like my visit to the vet Friday morning was an entire "No, not me" episode, so I'll start at the beginning...

No, not us. We did not start buying cheaper dog food for Titus which caused some SERIOUS digestive issues (I'll spare you the details) that caused an "emergency" run to the vet.

No, not me. I did not call the wrong veterinary clinic and tell them the entire story of Titus' issues and then argue with the lady when she told me we hadn't been in to the clinic in three years. We did change vets right after Titus' first few appointments, but I certainly would not have mixed up the two clinics three years later.

No, not me. I did not take my baby to the vet clinic for the two hour visit and refuse to take her out of her car seat because I just couldn't handle her and the dog.

No, not me. I surely would have known that my daughter had a poopy diaper at the clinic and was probably the reason she was so fussy. After discovering this at home (meaning she had been sitting in it for possibly two hours), I admit that I would not have changed her diaper at the vet clinic anyhow.

No, not me. I did not leave my purse out in the Pilot and ask the vet tech to watch my baby so I could go out to the car and get it.

No, not me. I did not have to drag my dog out of the corner of the exam room multiple times because he too is afraid of strangers.

No, not me. I did not sing to my baby, play peek-a-boo, and rock the carseat the entire time at the vet to quiet my baby. I'm sure the staff thought I was crazy.

No, not me. After spending X number of dollars on the vet bill, I did not proceed to buy beef steaks for Titus because I was promised that they would help out his digestive issues. I also did not have to teach my dog how to eat a beef steak because he kept spitting it out on the laundry room floor. Seriously, I thought dogs were carnivores.

No, not us. We do not have four things that we have to add to Titus' dog food to repair his digestive system after we were too cheap to buy him better food. Feeding time is quite the regimen right now.
Feeding Time Fun!

Perhaps this episode is preparing me for more children down the road. Regardless, when we came home I put Adde to bed and laid down myself.
