| Mollie & DooDoo Butt |
Just when you think you're getting ahead, there always seems to be that day before payday crisis pop up at ya. Let's back up to the last pay check...my daughter and I come across a dog that had been hit by a car. The two saviors for the day load him up and rush him to the vet (two days before pay day). On the ride to the vet, my daughter realizes that I just took on a financial responsibility that may interfere with her plans of buying a dirt bike. "May interfere?" I ask. How about "most definitely knocked that plan out the window". After a few minutes of pouting, she realized that this little doggie was much more important than the dirt bike and she would try again with her sales pitch another time.

Fast forward to pay day and all the financial arrangements made with the vet. Thankfully, he found it in his heart not to charge me his normal emergency fee and let me pay over the course of two weeks. We survived without the money. The dog, who we named Walden, found his way to a rescue facility that works with permanently injured animals.

| Mollie after being bit by snake |
Fast forward again to the next pay day (as always, two days before pay day), my own puppy, Mollie, who is a beautiful, 8 month old brindle pitbull, had a run in with a snake and ended up with a swollen leg and enough toxin to make her look like a drunk. Once again, I'm heading to the vet with a deathly ill doggie thinking about how much this one's going to cost. Unfortunately, the vet I used just two weeks before was on vacation so we weren't quite so lucky with the bill. They did let me pay half that day and the balance on payday which was nice, but still no money this week.
Mollie is 100% better and running around like nothing ever happened. Hopefully, she won't stumble on any more snakes. I think next pay check, I'm going to tell myself not to expect any leftover money and maybe it will just find me instead. All in all, I wouldn't have changed anything. I love those pups!
