Some days if you sit on the floor with a big nervous dog, it is calming for them. Other days they jump back anyways and you jump back too and the buttons all the way down the front of your skirt pop off and fly across the room and your vet tech friend Jeni and the dog both laugh at you.
And then you have to run home to change, so you might as well grab some Cheerios since you forgot your lunch at work, but then good thing, because you are at work so late, it is good to have a big bag of Cheerios for the ride home that night.
