Later, Loca goes in for her teeth cleaning which costs more than mine and I find out Heidi needs her teeth extracted because she fractured them at the luxury spa she was at this summer and I came home up to here with animals needing things.<\/p>\n<p>I throw a hissy fit and say that&#8217;s it &#8211; no mas, zilch, no more, I&#8217;m done. After Heidi no more German Shedders, and Bam Bam, when he&#8217;s gone no more cats &#8211; no more litter box &#8211; no more anything. Done. Right?<\/p>\n<p>But wait, there&#8217;s more.<\/p>\n<p>Late in the afternoon after Tin&#8217;s non-nap, I go to the vet to pick up Loca and two of the vet techs come out and have serious faces and I&#8217;m thinking something happened to Loca and I&#8217;m getting nervous but they say, &#8220;Ms. Dangermond, we have a situation that we&#8217;re hoping you can help us with,&#8221; and it turns out someone has brought in a kitten that has Feline HIV and they are at their last hope that I will take her because of Bam Bam having HIV and the old &#8220;guy who brought her in will pay for all her shots if I take her and if you don&#8217;t take her we will have to bring her to the SPCA tomorrow and they will euthanize her, what do you say?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Good god almighty &#8211; yes, all right, already.
