OH my goodness!!! That's EXACTLY what I was afraid of
, B/c you know they do them like an assembly line pretty much and who knows whose dog goes in first? Oh yikes....I am going to see if they'll let me stay and hold him til it's time for him to go in.
I called yesterday to just confirm and ask them what time I could expect to pick him up, and if I might be able to stay with him...do they return my phone call? NOOOOO....I know it was just the day before, but they aren't open on the weekends, so I didn't think it was a big deal. After his surgery is done, I'll be writing whoever is in charge to let them know that I'm on their auxiliary (read: FUNDRAISING and UNDERWRITING)and we are very active (we just were presented a check for 38,000 from another organization who chooses a group to sponsor for each year, and we were it this year; and that's only b/c we enlisted one of their group; which I am considering quitting. My friend who is president of the auxiliary, just mentioned how disillusioned she is with them and is thinking of leaving b/c there's too many people making too much money who do nothing......now, I'm getting the picture! They need to hire someone to field calls the day before scheduled spay and neuters and NOT be returning calls "the next day due to the high volume of calls". I'm a little steamed at the moment. Although, in reality, I probably won't quit since it's mainly about the animals and their welfare, but still.....
