I knew Thanksgiving was a big one

I had no idea Easter was such a big holiday for people traveling out of town. In the vet clinic where I work, every dog run is occupied, plus four smaller cages for smaller dogs; there are also three cats (one of whom is a HOMICIDAL BALL OF FURY) and one friendly apricot-colored rat. Today I am the one responsible for all of them.

Open Note to a beautiful black dog with hints of white in her fur: please, when we bring you outside several times a day, spend a moment or two thinking of what the reason for that might be. The lovely bed your owners brought for you is a bit big for our laundry facilities.
