Roxy is at the vet

Category: dribblings

it’s that time again. time for Roxy to go to the vet and get her yearlies and a summer haircut. we took her to the vet yesterday (7:30am). she was supposed to be ready by 5:30pm. at noon the vet’s office called and asked if they could keep her overnight because the groomer was double-booked.

i was mad and wanted to be all bitchy at them, but i also know that shit happens. so i agreed to let Roxy stay. i told them i could picker her up by 10:30 this morning, but they said she wouldn’t be ready yet. (WTF?) so Mr. Fleegan will pick her up after he gets off work this evening.

so now i’m mad because she’ll have spent two days at the vet’s office being all, “SWING LOW, SWEET CHARIOT.” and collecting other dogs’ fleas. and because of this it will be doubly hard to get her to the vet’s office next time. she has one of those elephant memories.

i’ll post a pic of her and her beautiful new haircut.

IT BETTER BE BEAUTIFUL.

the groomer kept telling me what a sweet dog Roxy is. i’m not sure if she was trying to be super nice to me cos she knew i was kinda mad about leaving Roxy there overnight or what. but she told me 3 or 4 times during the phone conversation that my dog was so sweet.

and if you’ve met Rox you know that she is indeed the sweetest dog.

i hope she doesn’t come back all jaded.

“c’mere Roxy! here girl! here’s your cowbearpig!”

“you don’t know me! you don’t EVEN know me!”

“wha- but you love the cowbearpig. it’s your babydoll. you tote it around where ever you go.”

“that was before. you don’t know the things i’ve seen.”

“i… um, it was one night.”

“you don’t know the things i had to do in there.”

“…uh, sleep? cos you sleep a lot anyway… even at the house, right?”

“DON’T JUDGE ME!  gimmie the keys, i’m going out for a drink.”

“i really miss the old Roxy.”

“yeah, well the old Roxy is DEAD! and it’s ALL YOUR FAULT!”

stomp, stomp, stomp, slamming door, tire squeal, gravel spray (we don’t have a gravel driveway, but it just sounds cool here), Gen. Lee “Dixie” car horn.

“…when did we get that horn?”
