dig by dog

When you bring your pet to our veterinary hospital, and you are out in the parking lot, we can see you. We can see you hitting your dog for jumping on you and we can see you jerking your puppy around for sniffing the tire of the car next to yours. We can even see you screaming at your dog because they are pulling on the leash. (Because you obviously never trained them to do otherwise. We dont care if your dog is pulling as long as it isnt bothering other dogs or people waiting. You arent being critiqued on your dogs behavior so relax. Seriously.)

Maybe you didnt get the word but someone invented this thing called windows a long time ago that lets us see outside of buildings. We arent trying to spy on you, we are simply looking to see which patients are arriving. Smiling politely at the doctor and us behind the counter after you are in the lobby doesnt negate what we saw. (And yes the doctors can see through windows too.) Your smiles arent magic that will make us forget. It doesnt work that way. Those of us that didnt see it got the full report of your actions by those of us that did. We saw you do it because we CAN see you. Please knock it off. It hurts our hearts and isnt nice for your poor pet.

Please.
