About $2100 and counting.

Yes, you read that correctly. Those of you with pets will probably have your own story about the “vet bill that grew and grew”. Those of you without pets are probably thinking we’re insane.

What motivates me is to think of the day I brought Zack home from the animal shelter, all of four months old. I promised myself I’d take care of him for as long as he still had the fight in him.

He is still fighting.

Two days ago, his fur was matted, greasy and he could barely sit up to greet me. Today, his fur is soft and fluffy, and he was standing up and eating when I first saw him.

I hope to have him home by Tuesday. Him and a big box of needles and insulin. God help me. I’m afraid of needles and now I have to jab my cat with them twice a day, every day, for as long as he lives. If you see me, and I have scratch marks all over my arms, don’t ask.

I may not get those new glasses I wanted, and I will have to cut way back on my spending for a while, but it will be worth it. I’m not ready for him to go, and he isn’t either.
