The Vet charged $800 to do this to me. Pics.

[Howard Beale]

Hello, my name is Benjamin, the West-Highland Terrier. The leader of my pack is Howard (not his real name) Beale followed by his mother who shall remain nameless because it's her fault that I'm like this now. What happened? I'll tell you what happened! Mommy brought me to the vet to have my teeth cleaned, that's all. While I was there she mentioned that I had a few warts. So what? I'm 12 and a half years old and I'm entitled to a few warts. The real problem is that mommy has both Munchausen Syndrome AND Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy and any excuse for a medical procedure is good enough for her especially since I had to be sedated for the teeth cleaning anyway. It serves her right that when she came to pick me up the bill turned out to be $800 because of the blood tests and everything else she didn't ask about in her frenzy to have me cut up but even this isn't punishment enough for her. I have REFUSED 'to go' when Daddy brought me outside. That is why there are extra blankets on the bed but I know what I'm going to do! I think I'll need 'to go' at something like 3:00am that's when I'll need 'to go' and one of them is going to have to take me outside.

I really don't like to complain because I realize that I get better medical care than 80% of the world's human population but, come on, this was unnecessary and to add insult to injury mommy put duct tape around my head-guard (very popular stuff around my house that duct tape is) so that it wouldn't scratch her legs.

Here are my pics. In lieu of flowers or get-well cards I ask that you make donations to either the Humane Society or the SPCA. Thank you.
