Ungrateful People

Susanne had to work today. It was really busy, which helped pass the time. Unfortunately, since it was so busy Susanne fell behind on writing up her records, which meant she would have that much more to do after she finished her last appointment.

At one point during the day, Susanne assisted one of her colleagues with a cat that was very critical upon arrival. She dropped what she was doing to try to help save this pet's life. The prognosis was poor, but they didn't give up. In the end, the cat survived. Susanne was disappointed to find out that the owner was less than appreciative of their efforts and was very unkind to Susanne's colleague. The owner wasn't thankful, at all, that they had saved the cat's life and she could only focus on the bill. The owner didn't think she should have to pay anything and that this type of service should be free of charge. It was hard to understand someone's thought process, especially when the outcome was so positive. It was always so difficult for Susanne whenever she came across ungrateful people. People all too often take for granted the small things in life. With what the Padilla family had been through over the last year, they made sure to appreciate it all.
