I'd like to preface what I'm about to say with the fact that I am thankful. I am thankful for my health, my family, my friends, my freedom, sports bras. However, fuck today.
Everything is going great this morning. I'm making breakfast, Shep is speaking in unicorn/ewok, its snowing…..great. Kasia strolls into the kitchen dripping blood with a gaping hole in her shoulder. WTF.
Sidenote: Kasia had a tumor removed from her right shoulder two weeks ago at a vet in Minooka (40 minutes away). Her stitches were taken out yesterday (40 minutes away) and I thought the rough patch was behind us.
Fast forward to this morning. Gaping hole. Blood. WTF. I quickly realized that the wound had completely reopened. Holy hell. I don't have time to drive all the way to Minooka?!?! Enter: expensive Arboretum Animal Hospital.
$1200 dollars later, and another surgery, Kasia is now resting comfortably waiting for her momma to pick her up. Crisis slightly averted. Lesson taken away from this situation: Dogs are expensive. When people assume having a large breed canine is a walk in the financial park, you have my permission to kick them in the throat.

Ugh, I'm sooooo sorry. Dogs are SO expensive and that is the main factor keeping us from getting another one right now. I hate the fact tat whenver you are feeling financially stable, something like a massive vet bill comes along :( So stressful. However, I'm glad that Kasia is okay!
