But they also treat pets if they have time, and mostly they do. I think it is some animal protection law -thing that there must be veterinary services in reasonable prize.

Basic things like vaccinations cost the same but if anesthesia is needed, dog is more expensive. And bigger dogs are usually more expensive than smaller ones. <br /><br />Then there are communal vets that are cheaper but we use private one because it is closer and it is easier to fix an appointment.

(She is fine now.) I so wanted to say "Why I have to take YOUR dog to vet?" but I managed to keep my mouth shut because I remembered that I am the one with time. I just found it so stressful that I wanted to blame somebody. <br /><br />I think that most men would do more than thei fair share if women just let them. But it is not very motivating if every time you help wife just keeps nagging that "incorrectly helped".

My husband still works as hard now as he did then. I have time to go swimming and have coffee with my friends. He's happy that I get to do those things and I appreciate that I can make coffee for him and have supper ready. It's not about who gets the best end of the deal - it's about helping each other and making life pleasant for everyone.Mariettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12421484144455924614noreply@blogger.com
