Veterinary Story Time - Dogs & Unexpected

Originally posted by emiliotheexplorer

Our vet clinic has security cameras. They’re a sensible precaution, especially when one has to return to the vet clinic, alone, at night, to check on a patient.

Sometimes it’s dark and raining, and you don’t really want to let a dog outside into the exercise yard as it’s far too cold and they’re only going to get soaked. So I will often let canine patients out of their cage for a wander and to stretch their legs while I get their food and medication ready. It’s generally not a problem, even without a lead most of them stick to me like glue because I have the food.

But this wouldn’t be much of a story if that’s what always happens.

One night, in the middle of a storm, one greyhound decided to wander off through the clinic. Sure, the clinic’s locked, and I had my hands full, so I called out to her to come back while I finished getting her food.

Only she didn’t come back.

Okay, so maybe I did something kind of foolish. That’s okay, I could recover. I could be smart and look for the dog on the security cameras.

You ever played or watched Five Nights At Freddy’s?

Yeah, it was kind of like that.

Scouring the screens to try to figure out where this black, slinky dog was trotting off to, catching a glimpse of a back of tail as it happily trotted through the clinic despite the storm, from one room to another just to see where she was going.

I decided at this point I had watched too much Five Nights At Freddy’s.

Only to watch her coming back this way.

Which was weird, but okay.

So I figure out she’s coming back this way and find her in the kennel room, sweetly putting herself back into her bed and curling up around an object.

She’d navigated the clinic to steal a pig’s ear from the tub out the front, and sneaked back to bed before she was ‘noticed’. Sweet thing had curled up around it looking guilty, hoping I wouldn’t notice.

So of course I let her have it. Who wouldn’t? Who was going to know in the morning, right?

Only she didn’t eat it.

The pig’s ear was still in her cage in the morning. Best we could tell was that she just wanted to have it, not eat it.

Which for a dog that took herself on an adventure through the clinic to acquire her pig’s ear in the first place, I have to say was quite unexpected.

honestly the funniest thing about the lord of the rings is how gandalf is literally a minor god sent to middle-earth by The Big Man Himself and yet literally nobody apart from the elves seems to recognise this or take him seriously

garashirs

like yeah gandalf is pretty grumpy most of the time but how would YOU feel if you were the fantasy equivalent of an angel and a bunch of people who only come up to your knee were just like “oh fuck it’s that spooky old wizard” every time you showed up for a friend’s birthday party

I mean to be fair, he seems to actively enjoy the hobbits’ complete lack of awe, because what Gandalf loves most about hobbits is that they as a culture are 1000% unimpressed by any of the mythic-scale bullshit constantly going on right outside their borders. The thing Gandalf loves second-most about hobbits is their weed.

What gets on his nerves is the rest of the free peoples of middle earth, for whom he is constantly busting his ass and who consistently respond to his attempts to help with “why don’t you ever have any good news?” and also who don’t offer him any weed.

so we should offer demigods and arcangels the good weed is what you’re saying

The only reason that Sauron was defeated and the Ring was destroyed was because this demigod spent so much time in the middle of fucking nowhere because they loved to trade him high quality weed for illegal fireworks.

i love my mother dearly but ability-wise she frightens me bc not only can she find 20 four leaf clovers within the span of like 2 minutes, everywhere, she can also write her name w/ both hands on a dry erase board or w/e at the exact same time and have both be a mirror image of one another

greelin

to add to this: i was making breakfast this morning and i hear “hey milo! look who came to say hello!” and, expecting like, a moth or a frog or something of that nature, i turn and she’s holding a snake

Magic systems in many niche tabletop RPGs posit that magic is empowered by social transgression, in the sense that it’s not the nature of the particular transgression that matters - save perhaps insofar as it resonates with the desired effect, of course - but merely the magnitude of the transgression in question that’s important.

An obvious yet curiously rarely explored implication of this is that worn or carried magic items logically ought to be more powerful the more offensively tasteless and unfashionable they are.

(Another rarely explored implication is that it may be possible to compare the magnitude of seemingly-incommensurable transgressions simply by measuring how much of a boost they give to your magic. Somewhere out there, some enterprising wizard is attempting to devise a pair of trousers that’s literally worse than murder.)

You mean these?

I think I’m out of my depth here.
