I had finished feeding the cat and washing one dish and one litterbox. I was just about to wrap it up. The door opened. I was expecting the cleaning team.

Nope. It was a client who had brought his dog in a while back with a broken leg. Seems his dog recently escaped from his collar during a run, and has now been seen in the company of a crackpot neighbor who claims the dog is his. The client, and the policeman who is now involved, wanted someone to identify the dog.

Wow. I feel for the guy, but I've met his dog exactly once, months ago, and I see a lot of dogs in a day. A full-time employee who's seen the dog multiple times might be able to do it. I wouldn't be reliable.

There's an animal control officer who knows this dog well, and she'll be back on shift Monday; the clinic will also be open Monday, with all the full-time staff. He'll get this resolved. But still: wow.

I'd give even odds of a microchip appointment for that dog about a week from now.
