Hello! Today’s weather was beautiful. I sat out outside soaking up the sun today. Today we went to “The Loop”, it’s an outdoor plaza type mall with many stores and restaurants in one neighborhood section. We walked around and visited Kohl’s and a couple of other stores. Typical shopping day. I didn’t buy anything, I’ll wait until I get back to tax-free New Hampshire, but Mom bought two cute Capri’s. We didn’t do much else over there and came back to the RV.
I had ordered Jake some more food and treats last week from Celebration Animal Hospital (2 miles from where we are staying) and today I called them and they told me that they had ordered and received the food in the wrong size can (I thought, okay, no biggie at all) and they didn’t order the dog treats and then they tried to sell me dog treats of another brand. I pre-ordered (didn’t pre-pay) both the food and treats last week for a Thursday delivery and the conversation today over the phone with them didn’t go over too well with me. I’m pretty low key, I’m getting to old to get upset, and over the years I’ve definitely moved to be a more understanding and patient person, but when they told me that they never intended on ordering the dog treats and blew it off as I can buy the “Royal Canine” brand name from them and not the “Prescription Science” that I had ordered, well, I told them what I thought about the way they did business. Now, hang on a second, it’s not that I didn’t get what I wanted…..those dog treats can be ordered thru any veterinarian with a couple days notice…..it’s the fact they had no intention of ordering them in the first place and never told me (reason and I was told: the veterinarian office had to order the “Prescription Science” treats in bulk and they didn’t think they could sell the other packages in the bulk order) and then tried to substitute it for other brand name that they had in stock. The dog food and dog treats brand were prescribed by the veterinarian I had brought Jake to in Yuma Arizona when he was sick, and of course I want to keep him on that specific diet because of his disease of Intestinal Lymphangiectasia. The veterinarian office in Celebration didn’t even know what Jake looked like (still doesn’t) and wanted to put him on a completely different brand of dog treats?? Sorry to vent, but come on, Celebration Animal Hospital, if you are not going to order what I ask for, at least tell me so I can order it thru another local veterinarian. I can’t do much now, because we are leaving in two days and Jake gets no dog treats until he gets home. Moving on….tonight we went to dinner at Perkins, I had the soup and salad and it was delicious and enough for me. Tonight I just watched some TV and relaxed. I think tomorrow we are going to slowly and leisurely straighten up the inside of the RV for departure on Sunday morning. When you sit somewhere for a long period of time, you start to accumulate a lot of stuff. Got to find places to stash all the souvenirs! Hope you all had a good day and I’ll be back tomorrow! Night Night!
