Quick

The dog needed her toenails clipped.  Really bad.  She didn't let me know in her usual way.  She happened to be laying on her back and I noticed her back nails.  So today was the first free morning sans kids and the vet was open. 
After the kids got on the bus I rounded up the dog.  We went to the vet and there were only two people waiting and they were checked in.  Someone helped me pretty quickly.  She asked if I wanted to pay first and I'm like ohhhh yeaaahhh.  Paying seems to be the thing that takes the longest at the vet.  I have never been offered that in all the times I have brought her in for nails.  So yes, I paid first. 
The tech came and got her and a few minutes later brought her back.  The dog almost pranced to the car.  Her back feet must have felt so much better and I was happy that we were in and out in like ten minutes. 
I'm sure it will never happen again, but I will take it for today.
