Mom says get a job

RIP Freckles on My Blog - Wed, July 04 2007

Mom went to the vet to pick up another antibiotic for me this evening. $73 for a two week, twice-a-day supply of Clavamox (the human equivalent is Augmentin)!!??

She says I need to get a job and get some health insurance! I don't hear well, and can only see shadows for the most part. I'm short and stubby, so I can't really reach anything. Anyone know a job where I can get health insurance without really doing anything but sleeping at home? Thanks anyway, guys.

We don't know of a job like that. If you find one, my mama would like to apply, too! HeeHee My mama is always talking about this "tree" that she says money doesn't grow on. Where is this money tree? Maybe you could plant one of those?

Poor Freckles....tell your mom that your job is to look adorable. And I bet she'll agree that you do that all the time.

Maybe you can do Basset modeling? You're very cute.

Butch (mom's stepson's dog) and I have heard the same thing. Mom has spent about $2000 in vet care this year (including shots, heartworm pills, etc)! Butch had a tumor removed from his leg and his teeth cleaned, and I had allergy testing done.
The antigen for my allergy shots is expensive. (Mom did that so I wouldn't have to take steroids all summer. Vet says that's not good for me) Dad told mom we dogs have better medical policies than they do! :) I've heard mom say some politicians don't do anything. Maybe you could run for office and get a job in politics, Freckles!

My mom says the same thing about us 'kids'! Especially me since I'm a senior with hyperthyroidism who has to visit the vet often to check bloodwork. So far she's come up with: 1) door stop, 2) mattress tester, 3) paper weight, 4) exterminators (aka - vermin hunters/bug eaters), and 5) (for my younger siblings --Patches/Cyrus/Alvin) demolition crew! ;)

Ditto to what everyone else has said. Mom gets our shots and heartworm check/preventive at the low cost wellness clinics. Shortly after I came to live with Mom, I was diagnosed with heartworm disease & had to go through the treatment. I did really well, no side effects, & am fine now. But poor Mom had to pay over $800 for my treatment. It was a real struggle for her, but she said I was worth the world to her. Sigh.

Hi Freckles, Hey, Mom is always telling us to get a job too. We never read the paper so just don't get that classified section. Oh well. I think we are all too cute to work anyway. Just like you!!! Why spoil a good thing!! Take care of yourself Freckles. Happy 4th

My mom says the same thing. Mostly after I've been to the vet and run up another big bill. I guess having a big heart is expensive. Well, better than being the Grinch and having one two sizes too small:-) If I could get a job looking cute, I'd be all over it. Mom says no one would pay me for that though so I'll have to keep looking.

My mom agrees. She said she's tired of being 'known' at the vet 'cause I'm always on medicine. She doesn't total up the yearly cost or she may have a heart attack! I think I could get a job. I can jump, open fence gates, run fast, smell out baby bunnies, follow a scent trail, etc. I got lots of skills! But who's gonna pay me for just being a beagle?
