An elderly women wakes up one morning and finds her 16 year old dog laying on the floor. 'Oh no,' she says 'there must be
something wrong with Scruffy!' She scoops the dog up and rushes him to the vet. Doctor doctor, please help, she says as she
puts him on the table. After a short examination the doctor says, 'I'm sorry madam but I believe your dog has died.' 'Oh but
there must be something you can do,' said the woman. 'Well there is one thing,' said the vet as he pulled a sack from the
closet near by. The vet opened the sack and placed a scronny old cat on the table next to the dog. The cat looked at the dog
and hissed. It then preceeded to walk around the dog cautiosly, smelling and hissing. The vet put the cat back in the bag
and said, 'there is nothing more I can do.' The old women said,'I guess you're right doctor, Scruffy hates cats and if he
wasn't dead he would surely have barked.' The vet said that he would take care of the arrangements and the old women went
home. Three weeks later the old women recieved a bill from the vet for $338.00. The old women thought there must be a mistake,
so she called the vet for an explanation. When the vet answered the phone he pulled out the bill and told the women that he
had charged her $38.00 for taking care of Scruffy's arrangements. The old women said,'that seems fair but I don't understand
what the $300.00 is for. 'Oh,' said the vet, 'that was for the cat scan!'
