I took Jessie in for her blood work - they took two full beakers (and had to
stick both her front legs because one clotted too soon - poor baby keeps
switching from licking one to the other).

They're doing a CBC, geriatric panel, and thyroid screening.  They're going
to call me later this afternoon with the results.

Ooops, the credit card DH gave to me to use (my own, actually) must have
never gotten activated because it was refused.  They trusted me to bring
back the $105 later (and she may need some pills so I'll have to pay for
those too).  But they weren't at all ugly about it, they were quite nice in
fact.
