Holy SHIT, you guys
On the phone, tonight:
Dad: I need to tell you something. Are you sitting down? I have to preface this by saying she's okay, everyone's home safe.
Me : OMG WHO WHAT HAPPENED TELL ME NOW!
Dad: I took Macie to the hunting camp today -
Wait. Stop. Because every time my dad has ever taken my poor dog to his hunting camp something horrible has happened to her. Snakebites, infections, concussions, ATV accidents. And every time we forbid him to take her there again and he never listens.
Dad: - and an alligator attacked her, but I managed to fight it off and get her back to the truck for first aid, and rushed her to the vet hospital and the wounds have been sutured and she's sedated for the pain but she's home and going to be okay.
Me: !!!
Dad: Your sister thought I should call you.
Okay, I know I joke about the alligators in the backyard, but that's really only been once or twice! (even if I did threaten to feed Caer to one for writing me into Jane Austen, that time). Ce n'est pas tout bon, y'all!
