Central Park East - 7:00am

Good morning!  Can't believe it's Wed. already.  Time is going by so quickly!  Sofie met her friend Niko in the Park today.  Niko is a little black and white Japanese Chin.  He looks like he is as big as Sofie, but his lady told me he only weighs 9 lbs!  He is entirely hair.  Sofie likes to be chased by Niko and Niko likes to chase so it's a perfect arrangement.  They played for about 15 minutes until we went our separate ways.  I learned that she takes her dog to an animal hospital in Brooklyn called One Love and it's much cheaper and better than Manhattan prices.  Hopefully that works out because otherwise we don't have a vet to get her spayed at yet. 

About a week ago I called an animal hospital that I thought was in New Jersey and made 2 appointments.  One for blood work for anesthesia and the other for Sofie to be spayed.  I called back 15 minutes after I hung up and had to cancel because the dang animal hospital wasn't in New Jersey but rather, North Carolina. 

Me: "Hi, we were just speaking about Sofie, I made an appointment to get her spayed..."

Receptionist:  "Oh Hi, yes I remember.  How can I help you?"

Me: "Well, uh, where are you located?"

Rec: "125 Ocean Drive.  Do you need driving directions?"

Me: "Hmm....this is a little embarrassing.  What state are you located in?  Are you in New Jersey?"

Rec: "No dear, we're located in North Carolina."

Me: "Well I live in NYC.  I think I'll have to cancel those appointments."

Rec: (laughs) "Ok, I'll cancel for you. Is there anything else I can help you with?"

Me:  "Ummm....No... but Thanks for your time!"  (have a nice life). 

These sorts of things only happen to me. 

Have a great day everyone!
