Cha Ching !!!!!!!!!!!!!

:thumbsup

I got the 3 lb bag of taters for $0.98. Not sure what else to get when I go back. I will probably pick up more bananas and taters for my neighbor who is on fixed income.


I got the food club shredded cheese $1.49 per bag. Onions $1.49 per bag. I put the onions through my chopper and bag in small portions and freeze them. Poblano peppers are .98 cents per pound. Some of the Sale prices are today only.

The first puppy we got after we got married, our little great dane Ares, I lost to parvo. It was devastating. He was 9 weeks old and already had his first shots with an appointment for his second only days away. He got sick on Thanksgiving and crashed appallingly fast. We couldn't find an open vet and despite my best efforts, he died in my arms by the crack of dawn. That was my first and cruelest lesson in parvo. I had never even heard of it before that. I know how quickly my partially vaccinated great dane puppy faded out, and Jubilee is hardly a handful of fur. If she gets it.... I'm not remotely optimistic about her chances. I wish she hadn't let impatience get the best of her. I understand she recently lost her 15 year old aussie, but now she may have to bury 2. I wish she'd of seen that.

Maybe with God's good grace she'll dodge the bullet.

I now have a lot of experience with pet store horror. I went into a pet store years ago and ended up helping a customer more than the employee and was offered a job. I saw a chance to work with animals! Very naive and ignorant about pet stores at the time. That place ended up being a prison. The owner couldn't care less about animals, only the money. If I did not take care of them, they wouldn't be taken care of. Period. I quickly learned what puppy mills were, as the "breeders" often had dirty puppies with 20+ breeds to choose from. I took a week off for Christmas, and when I came back there were over a dozen puppies there in critical condition. No food or water. Bloated with worms and covered in feces and most of all clearly sick. Most of those puppies died in my arms. I gave every single one a name and a few minutes of love so they wouldn't die nameless and unloved. I left for 1 Week and in that time 9 puppies ended up dying. I had my vet call the humane society and they ordered the remaining sick puppies be taken to a vet, so he sent me with an armful of puppies but EVERY vet in town hated him so much they would not see the puppies. Here I am, holding dying puppies sobbing, to have one vet say "I'm in this for money and I know he isn't going to pay." It was an unimaginable place to be in my life. I hated my job so much, but was terrified that if I quit, how many more would die? I didn't leave the job until the humane society got tougher animal selling restrictions passed, with hefty fines. You know, things that take money! Which is what he heard, not dead fur babies.

Thankfully that pet store is gone now.
 
I bought a little Yorkie from a puppy mill (before I knew what one was). She was "guaranteed". Well, within a couple of days she was very sick. The vet said it was parvo. Supposedly the puppy had been vacinnated before I bought it. I called the seller and the seller said I could bring it back and get another one. Well, I wasn't going to do that for many reasons mostly because I knew they would just let that little puppy die. So, the puppy was in the vet for TWO weeks clinging to life. I would visit her after work each day so she would know me. When I took her home I had to cook rice and lean chicken for her, but she was sick again within 24 hours. Back to the vet. Finally she was back home on home cooked food. My schnauzer must have sensed her frailty because he made it his life work to protect her. It was VERY expensive but she was a lovely little girl. She always was a bit frail and was on medication and well known by vets where ever I lived. Finally One day when she was back at the vet, they called me and said she was flat lining off and on and recommended she go to LSU vet. I asked if anything could be done. They said "no". I said, then she'll die with me and not at the vet. She lived one more day and died in her sleep in my bed. She lived 10 years. Now I know about puppy mills and stores that use them. Also, about parvo. It's all so sad. I'm crying even writing this and remembering.

Ahhh, I'm so sorry.

My dog Sophie that I mentioned the other day (that came from shelter with parvo) died at the age of 4yrs from cancer. I believe you are right when you say that they are more frail once they've had parvo. Our vet was shocked when the lump showed up on Sophie and at first assumed she had been kicked by one of the horses. It was later that day that we learned it was cancer. She passed 1 week later in her sleep. Our pets bring us such great joy, and those are the times that we have to remember.

Now I'm thinking about the Black Friday sales this year. I didn't get a chance to score the fire pits last year because I was loading up on gel pillows and down comforters, so I want to makes ure that I get my fire pit this year. I may have to recruit someone to help me because I want to get more comforters this year. I will start my list so that I can refer back to it.

Fire Pits
Down Comfortors
Gel Pillows
Pyrex 24-pc. Bake & Store Set

* I hope to add more as it gets closer to Black Friday or Brown Thursday (when they start a day early).

Anyone else ever adventure off into the Krazy Black Friday sales? Am I the only nut?
