On planning ahead

Short and to the point: if you can't plan ahead enough to arrange a stud before the bitch goes into heat, you are obviously not prepared for puppies. Do not call the clinic and expect us to have a list of available stud-dogs for you the day the bitch needs to be bred. You should have been thinking about this before she came into heat.

Same for the cat.

Yes, we received both calls this morning, from different people, within half an hour of each other. What the monkeys, people?!

It's official!

I am now regarded as a tax-exempt 501c by the IRS for purposes of taking care of all those sucker-case critters that I've been taking care of anyway.

Yay me!
