A few days ago, I was bringing both my cat and my dog to the vet. Somehow, in my infinite wisdom, I decided it was a good idea to try juggling a cat carrier, an anxious dog on a leash, and a large iced coffee all at once. Predictably, chaos ensured. My dog (who HATES the vet) bolted, the leash wrapped around my ankles, and I went flying. I flailed in the air and somehow managed to land in a Spider-Man like pose clutching my cat carrier with my coffee balanced perfectly on top. Before I could even begin to dissect what had just happened to me, I heard a slow clapping. One of the vet employees (who I guessed arrived in the parking lot at the same time) I did had witnessed my “performance.” She looked at me and said: “nice landing. Do you practice that or is it a natural talent?” I was both mortified and proud. I laughed so hard I almost dropped everything again, and she offered to help me carry my stuff. Turns out her name was Leila. She helped me wrangle my dog, cat, and coffee with no judgment. Would definitely recommend. Five stars. September 2025.
So M.
