If you don’t know that I am a bit obsessed with me dog chances are that you haven’t met me in real life.  My dog is like my son only he doesn’t talk back and he’s a lot hairier but he’s just as special and he’s probably just as spoiled.

It’s not just me though, my husband puts me to shame in the overbearing love he has for the dog (which is like 190 posts for another day).

The other night while fawning over the dog’s beauty I discovered what can best be described as a bit of shmutz next to his eyes (for those who have grown up with no Yiddish influence in their life –shmutz is a bit like dirt of the unknown variety.)

In an attempt to rid his face of anything detracting from his beauty I got a tissue and pulled off the shmutz. Pulled, as in yanked.  When there was a bit of blood on the tissue I started to feel a bit bad, when I noticed that the shmutz looked a little like a tick I started to worry.

My husband wasn’t home and I toyed with the idea of phoning him to tell him (we take dog matters very seriously in this place) but I could just picture him speeding home, scooping the dog up and placing him in intensive care and I could tell that this was CLEARLY not necessary. The dog was, at that point, running around the house amassing his toys into a central eating area.

So I left it and casually mentioned it to him the next morning. He panicked but only internally at first. By the time I checked my email at 9:00am there were several quotes from eminent veterinarians about the dangers of ticks in my inbox.

A couple of hours later I was apologising to the vet for presenting such a healthy dog. He assured me that I had pulled off a skin tag (nice!) and there was no danger of any tick related illnesses.  While I was there I thought I might just mention that the dog may have been biting his paws and his ears were in need of a check up as they could smell a little, er yeasty at times.

$350 later I walked out of the vet with anti-biotics for his feet, ear drops for his ear, some other tablets for a fungal infection (also on his feet) and some eye drops for his eye that I might have irritated by pulling off a skin tag (still nice!). Oh and steroids for his persistent skin allergies (which is another 900 posts for another day).

$350.

I gave him his dinner and his medication last night and he vomited it all up.

So I have two questions

1. If I hadn’t pulled off the skin tag would he have needed any of this medication because he certainly wasn’t planning a trip to the vet for any of these other “ailments”?
2.  What kind of fancy car do you think my vet is saving up for?
