Hi there Paula - I am not sure if you are the woman I agreed to meet in the dog park last Saturday to purchase three calendars...I am embarrassed that I don't really know people names - just dogs and I don't have any phone numbers so I haven't been sure how to get in touch with you. If I have the wrong person I am sorry and would really appreciate if you can put me in touch with the woman selling the calendars.

At any rate, in the event I have the right person, I missed our appointment because we had to rush Atlas to the emergency vet. On Friday night he ate a pair of eye glasses and a 12x12 4 inch deep tupperware container in its entirety. We foolishly decided to "wait and see". He was in distress Saturday morning so we rushed him in. After several hours, xrays, doggie enemas, blood tests and $1000 he thankfully did not need emergency surgery but was kept for observation until things had passed. As a result I was not able to meet you at the park. And now - I am totally broke and unable to purchase the calendars because I paid the vet bill in lieu of our mortgage.

Also, this is not the first time something like this has happened so we are re-evaluating our finances to try to find a way to afford a couple days of doggie day care for him each week. I apologize for not being able to meet you and for any inconvenience all this has caused. Hopefully, I will be able to see you soon and make my apologies in person.

Regards,
-Katherin
