Disclaimer: I love animals and I LOVE my pets!
I droped Harvey off for his regularly scheduled vet appointment yesterday on my way to work. Like every responsible pet owner, I take him twice a year to Banfield. We purchase "pet insurance" from the vet for all of our pets (2 cats and a dog). At least we currently do, maybe not for much longer. Anyway, I mentioned to the vet that he has been scratching his ears a lot and they had me sign a paper that they could clean them ($14). The vet called me at 2 PM and let me know I owed them $123!! What?! But, I have the "pet insurance". Oh, but "we cleaned his ears, he has an ear infection, so we need you to put this antibiotic in his ear twice a day, etc." I ask, what the antibiotic does, because I am thinking, if it is Neosporen I can buy that at CVS for $2. The lady gives me a sufficient enough answer to stomach buying the $26 antibiotic. So, Jeff picked up the dog and paid the bill $123. A couple of hours later I get a call from the vet informing me that his nurse did not sell us the ear wash we are supposed to use twice a week. Oh no, we will not purchase this because I have a whole bottle from 2004 when they suckered me into it the last time. Did I mention Harvey has to go back in two weeks for a "follow up." I wonder how much that will cost!
This morning I wake up, still fuming a little from the vet bill when I notice cat puke is at the bottom of the bed, on my side of course and on the comforter! YUCK! Jeff was nice enough to clean it up. Then I walk through the kitchen to see a pile of dog poop in the dinning room. Again, see disclaimer, but honestly, I'm a little annoyed!

You have every reason to be annoyed! I sure it's not Harvey's fault; they must have given him something at the vet's to make him sick.
Gotta love pets!
They are so much work...but so fun too! Miss ya, Friend!
I feel your pain. We have 3 dogs, one who is deaf and epileptic, and a cat that had TWO $500 vet bills in ONE MONTH! I love them, but geesh they are pricey to love!
