Was just walking up the driveway and came across two squirrels fighting viciously. One fell down and didn't get up. He let out some pitiful squeaks, but fell silent when I approached. I thought his legs were broken so I ran inside to call Animal Control. Every Emergency Animal/Wildlife control service went to effing voicemail, and the Humane Society person has to have the s l o w e s t speaking voice I ever heard. The phone number for the animaI control on the county website actually connected to the main police department, and I was informed that Animal Control "aren't in today" (WTF). I ran back, and the squirrel was gone. I hope he was just dazed and managed to get away before any of the neighborhood cats stumbled across him :( ((
It also shook me up because the emergency animal services were just so hard difficult to contact. If anything hapens to my dog I have to hope the emergency vet office is quicker on the uptake. I remember in 4th grade when my dog was choking on a bone and my dad rushed her the the fire department where they saved her life. I don't think that would happen today. I also just found out that the family living behind me are throwing dog biscuits into the yard, which is so out of line. I hate feeling paranoid :(
bad day
