A small fella was next walking his very large 3 legged dog to the front door. I felt sorry for the dog only having 3 legs and a big cone around his neck but that quickly diminished when I realized the pup got around on 3 legs just fine practically dragging his owner and in turn the owner trying to pull up his baggy pants..dammit where is my phone when I need it?
A van pulled up and 3 kids got out carrying what appeared to be a stuffed animal and some socks? They did not have a pet with them but a few minutes later they came back out and didn't have the toy or the socks so I was guessing they were visiting their dog..poor thing.
Bentley Jack started barking at a dog that was trying to go potty and its chain smoking owners pulling in through the grass over to the shade when another car pulled up and 4 people got out with a little dog and went in..Really? 4 people to take the dog to the vet? Perception...well let's be an optimist and say that they were going somewhere and decided to stop at the vet's office on the way.
After the first hour I started getting a little sweaty but kept telling myself..breath...its almost over....people were coming in and out , with pets, without , busy for a little vet's office. I parked in the shade under a tree and to late I realized that my windshield was covered in sap..great..now I get to spend the afternoon washing that off...
Finally it's our turn, the parking lot was empty 2.5 hours later and no ringworm...I'm happy that wasn't the case and that it's just a rash of some sort better safe than sorry. I realized driving home that all the people I saw today, some in new cars, some old, some cars were 3 colors and rusted, smokers, non smokers, cane walkers, wheelchair folks, skinny, fat and so on, but they were all there for the same purpose, to take care of their pets and knowing that those pets will go home happy, healed and loved made the wait seem un important.. ( and yes, I know this last paragraph is a hugh fragment but the hell with it...)
