You son of a bitch, you got me good. Thank you, I needed that. I'm burning a sick day to spend with my sick dog before I ship her off for a rest and medication week at a kennel where she can be watched and cared for better than I can do with my shitty schedule.

Don't worry if you don't trust Kennel staff: It's my mom who's doing all the work there. She's not going to neglect her granddog.
