The dogs were driving me nuts in the hotel room, so I took them to the dog park to let them get their ya-yas out.
Man, that expression looks filthy in print.
Dex overdid it, and she limped mildly as we exited the park. The next day, she could no longer jump into the car. Day three, she could not stand up and walk outside. On day four, I was carrying her to the grass, to her water bowl, to the vet. Of course, it was the after-hours vet, so it cost a fortune to hear his conclusion that she merely overdid it. Running total: $676. Total savings from my staying in the shitty hotel with my dogs: negative $376 (- $376.00 USD).
Day five, Dex sprang out of bed and did her happy dance when she thought we were getting into the car.
