This was an expensive week for us, thanks to @Mr Janny . He made a chicken-and-rice dish last Sunday - I don't cook, so I didn't ask a lot of questions, but none of us enjoyed it. Much at all. I think I told him, "I appreciate you cooking so much, but I actively hate this." Needless to say, we had many, many leftovers - so he gave them to our two dogs.
These aren't your "eat a tin can barnyard dog" variety dogs. These are "hypoallergenic prissy dogs to accommodate Angie's allergy" dogs who puke if food is too hot, too cold, too bacon-y. He gave them a TON of the food, and both proceeded to vomit that afternoon. Our dog who is typically more of a puker, Hazel, was one-and-done, she got it out of her system. Stuart barfed a few more times - so Janny, for I DON'T KNOW WHAT REASON, gave them both more on Monday. Stuart couldn't hold anything down that night, I called the vet and we did a fast-and-white-rice diet, got him probiotics from the vet, etc. Nothing was helping.
I took him in finally after chatting with our vet. While I was waiting for the exam with Stuart, I texted Janny to find out all of the ingredients. "Chicken, rice, chicken stock, a packet of onion soup..." Both the vet and her tech stopped short when I mentioned the onion soup, what with it BEING TOXIC TO DOGS and all. They had to do X-rays to check for obstructions, blood work to make sure it hadn't given him pancreatitis, an anti-emetic injection, some more anti-emetic pills to take home, special food that they informed me "you should give him the next few days instead of table scraps" (thx), etc.
Total bill? $721. So that Janny didn't have to throw away some chicken and rice. We got home and he said, "Wow. Well, I am glad they found out what it was so I didn't have to also tell them there was half a can of beer in there."
ANYWAY. That was a whole backstory to ask - what is "I'm a dumb ass tax" money you've had to spend that just enrages you? Money that you were like "I seriously can't believe I caused that/didn't know that?" Because I'm not letting Janny live this down anytime soon, maybe help me put this into perspective.
