According to one of my sources, it really happened!

We had an associate that wanted off because her dog was at the vet sick... maybe dying... and she had to go sit with it at the animal hospital..

I said, "No, come to work." I am so mean.

It was all downhill after that episode with the associate. She was history a couple weeks later.

I'm not surprised, EZ. People get goofy when it comes to their animals. I once dated a woman who has six cats, five rabbits, two dogs and a turtle, all under one roof. Insane!

So you were just another pet/species/animal in the household John? :lol:

It pretty much felt like that, Eileen, and the worst part about it is that of all the pets, I got the least attention.
