FRAZZLED!!

Peaches’ canned food is sold by prescription and therefore may only be obtained where sold and there is an in-house vet. There is one big-name pet supply store that also has an in-house animal hospital that sells this particular brand of food.

The reason I have gone to this much detail (as usual) is that my vet ran out of the food but was due in a supply of it today. I was to call at around noon after the expected shipment was to arrive but found out that this particular item was not included.

In order to get her food without changing brands (we need not interrupt a good thing) and since she was down to one meal left, they wrote me a prescription so I could go to a nearby town to this big-name pet supply store to have it filled. I picked up the prescription and proceeded to the store.

When I got there, I was directed to the pet hospital where I had to give them the script, register and wait for a prescription card. Meanwhile, the printer that was to print out my card ran out of ink and the receptionist had to get help to change the ink cartridge so I waited, and waited.

Finally, card in hand and 12 cans of food in my cart, I headed for the checkout. The danged stuff was 24 cents more per can than I pay at my vet’s office! After having driven all this way and having to wait so long, and paying out the butt for the food, I was a little miffed as I loaded the 12 cans of food into the back of my little hearse.

If that wasn’t bad enough, my car radio took it upon itself to quit working so I had no music to soothe the beast that was raging inside of me.

The only upside is that I checked my iPad when I got home and found that I had won the latest game of Words with Friends against my daughter!

Other than that, I’m worn out and frazzled!
