It's okay. I'm a veterinarian.

That's basically what the lady told us after her dog almost bit a dog on our street.

On Halloween night.

As her seven-year-old daughter was holding the leash.

Let's recap, shall we? Because I'm still perplexed. Oh! I know! Let's do it with math. You all know what a rush I get from that!

(1 skittish and aggressive dog + 1 little girl holding leash + y other little kids + n other dogs) x SUGAR!* = the answer to this vet's question, "Why don't I have more clients?"

I only wish my neighbor two doors down had been here to say, "Nice to meet you. I'm a lawyer."

Yeah; yeah. I'm back. A little rusty, but I think you'll agree as wound up and yet meandering as ever.

I missed you, too.

* And I actually do mean sugar factorial here. Is there a more perfect descriptor for Halloween? I think not.
