This morning we drove to my parent’s home in Schenectady, NY where we were joined by my sister Alissa and her family for Thanksgiving Day dinner. Nala was not feeling well before we left for the trip. After the 3.5 hour drive she looked even worse. When she started wobbling and falling over, we rushed her to an emergency animal hospital where she was put on intravenous hydration and stayed for overnight observation. She was as good as new in the morning. The same can not be said of the father (me) who was ready for hospitalization after receiving the $500 bill. Jeanine and I could have stayed in the Ritz-Carlton sipping Champagne for less!
