they are forever trying to sell you something you don't even need.
they wanted to put our dog under 2 years ago when he was already 14 to professionally brush his teeth...it was like $1500 or something..ha..last week when we took him in just to see the actual vet was $350 plus all the blood and stool sample test..came to around $700

It's ridiculous. I hate when they try to sell you on pet insurance. There is no way to come out ahead on that.

I've been trying to get my vet to send Doug jr.'s prescription to another place since Friday.

Athens is super cool. Even more people smoke here than Venice. Did a 3-hour walking tour earlier. Doing some kind of hike somewhere tomorrow morning then Lycabettus hill tomorrow night. So hot and humid. So many shops and hardware stores. Every other storefront here is a hardware store. Bizarre
