WWYD Jounge? Scenario goes like this...

Oldest dog has a vet appointment this Friday. He has a fluid filled sack on his side that has to get drained every 6 months or so, needs it again. I notice something on his ear, a similar fluid pocket, a week ago, maybe less. I know he is headed to vet this Friday so I let it ride until then. Did some online research, most everything points to him wagging head and bruising ear, fluid collects, needs draining. Maybe we get a 2 for 1 draining.

Puppy has red eye, seems a little droopy, a little watery, nothing major. Wife and son freak out about it, but Greenr says probably just hit it fighting with other dogs. Wife bertstares at me because I am not also super concerned.

THEN wife notices the lump on old dogs ear yesterday. Asks youngest, he is all like yeah, when I pet him, I feel it. Asks me, yeah, noticed it a couple days ago. Bertstare even harder. Fusses at me because it could be a major problem but I was all "I assumed you had noticed it and he is already going to vet on Friday." This was a bad take apparently.

Wife calls today around lunch, needs me to bring her the dogs at 3:30 because moved vet appointment up. Nope, in a meeting at that time. She has to come home, get dogs, go back, get son, then go to vet.

Just texted me they drained ear, no real problems and puppy might have had allergies, possibly swallowed a bee (weird).

So do I say toldya so when she comes home? Or feign concern? Thanks and prayers for my wallet because I am sure there is an upcharge for working them in that they don't tell you about until bill time.
