Can I have one night where I go to bed early? Just one please? Was so close last night. But no, we ended up losing 2 hours of our life at the Animal Emergency Clinic from 10pm until almost midnight. Not one of of ours even. Remember I told you about MM? Well, he came back last night. He also decided to be super friendly. Friendly enough we got him to come inside the house. My sister's cat recently went missing and she was going crazy with worry not knowing what happened. That story ended positively as he was found and they were reunited. This all of course was driving me crazy. I couldn't imagine someone out there not knowing where there cat was. Which means at 10pm we bundled up MM into a carrier and drove him to the AEC. At first it looked like they weren't going to find a chip and we were about to have a new cat. But then DING! Chip found! The nice people there made some phone calls, got the owner's info and set out to call her. Well, here's where our story twists. She was upset we were calling about her cat, Blaze. Apparently he is an outdoor cat. Who does that in this day and age especially with how close we are to a busy road??Are you nuts?? She was annoyed she had to drive to come pick up her cat. I was ready to throw down if need be. First off, it's a 15 minute drive to this place, we waited nearly 40 for her. She shows up, no carrier, nothing. I am going to write this off to cultural differences, but still. She was a tiny eastern european woman who saw nothing wrong with cats being outside animals. Argh! She literally took the cat, whom she clearly loved and loved her, and they drove off. That's it. Very anti-climatic. She did ask what she could do in the future to avoid this. She also asked if we had a cat and maybe hers just wanted to "play". Lady, it doesn't work like that. I was so annoyed and exhausted by the time we got home. We ended up being awake until almost 1am again.

In the land of our nut jubs, we had to replace doglet's kennel. We've been using that wood one that used to be Pip's. Mistake. We went to the grocery store yesterday in the morning to give doglet some alone time. She spent the hour tearing the wood apart trying to get out. Lovely. We now have a giant metal crate in our room taking up way too much space. I have to rearrange the room today. Somehow, someway. She was being a major butt all day too. The excitement of MM, the anxiety of us going to the store. It was all just a tiring day. I would be excited for the weekend, but guess who fucking works all weekend? Yep. Good times.
