My Dog Got an Operation

So my dog swallowed a tennis ball and a sock this week and it was a real scare. Usually he just throws up whatever he has decided to swallow whole and is NOT food. This time he just started acting really weird.

We knew he swallowed the tennis ball which he had already chomped up pretty good, and we were just waiting for something bad to happen. We notice that he wasn't eating anything and his energy was really low - first sign of a dog being sick I guess. So we rushed him off to the vet and they did an xray on him. Sure enough he was going to need operation to get everything out of his stomach.

It cost me $1300 to get the operation completed, and allot of worry to boot. I had $300 saved but I had to borrow that rest of the cash online ($1000) the rates were pretty much the same as all these companies, but whatever....I had to get Coda fixed.

Coda is a 1 year old Golden retriever and the love of my life. My girlfriend thinks he means more to me than her! Sometimes I wonder. So know I have to keep my socks off the floor, underwear off the floor and no tennis balls for him unless somebody is their to supervise play time.

I was my own fault that I didn't watch him closer when he was lying around the backyard getting himself into some kind of mischief.
