Kids These Days

Today, after several days of being home with migraines, I returned to work to play receptionist. Upon entering the clinic I heard a blaring, "MAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" from beside the log in computer. A quick glance revealed the cage to be holding a white goat, just shorter than knee height on me, gnawing on newpaper; the cage card read, "*pet's name*: NEUTER"

Two hours after my arrival, a client walked in the door with their dog for a quick nail trim.

 Client: You need to tell whoever is making that awful noise that it's not funny! I thought that was my dog! *storms out*
Coworker:...She can't be serious.
