Paulie's going to be OK

[evile]

I sent off a cashier's check this a.m. to Connie, to get Paulie
treated for heartworm. Slight bit of reading online on the disease.
1) ick. and 2) they will retest in 4 months to see if they're gone.
If not, more treatment. Another $325, I imagine. Ick.

I bitched in my LJ about the money. sineater offered to help out with
Paulie's vet bills, too. He just started working fulltime again about
a month ago, and as far as I know, despite skye_ds' recent ebay spree,
they don't have a pot to piss in. Makes me feel pretty low down &
dirty for bitching about it at all. The important things here are,
first & best: Paulie has good people who are taking care of him; and
2) I had the money to spend. It's money I won't have for Vegas or
whatever, BUT I had it and I didn't *need* it to live. So I'm not
gonna bitch about it anymore. My brother's generous heart when he's got
nothing makes me humble & sad. and grateful. really really grateful.
