*GLARING* -Mayhem

Um. Do you think Mayhem’s holding a grudge about me taking her in to the vet for her shots? And wow, was that bizarre – you park and call them. The tech calls and gets your info, then comes out to pick up your pet while you stay put. The vet examines your pet and calls you to discuss treatment, etc. Then reception calls to get your payment details and your pet is placed back in your vehicle with your receipt. Because the whole thing is somewhat disconcerting, I recommend writing things down and putting that in with the pet carrier for the tech.
