30 Days of Writing - The Short Hairs

In honor of Her Royal Cuteness' birthday, I will swap the theme slightly from The Short Hairs to The No Hairs. I can't bring myself to blog about that particular topic today.

Her Royal Cuteness and I had to take His Majesty the dog to the Emergency Room the other day. His breathing was really off and the Dog Cardiologist wanted him seen in the ER.

The Veterinarian  Emergency Center is brand new and beautiful. The have specialists of all types from Cardiology to Dermatology along with the Emergency Room there.

We were seated in a room while they took the dog back to give him Oxygen and fluids. Her Royal Cuteness looked at me after we sat down and said, "There are people with shark hats on out there."

WHAT? Now, she is a cynical and sarcastic as they come, but isn't likely to just make stuff up. "I didn't see that," I told her and then promptly forgot what she had said as we awaited the doctor and whatever news she had for us.

Eventually the doctor came in and told us that it would be an hour or so until they knew if he had to stay overnight and that we should wait in the main waiting area until then.

We walked over to this area and there I saw them - three ladies standing there with brightly colored shark hats on their heads. They each had a "baby snuggly" wrapped around their shoulders and across their bellies. The baby wraps each contained a hairless cat, one of which was wearing a shark costume.

I had one of those moments when you want to just rub your eyes and see if the image is still there when you are able to focus again. It was difficult not to stare at this gang, especially as the staff at the center kept appearing and oohing and ahhing over these no hair cats.

These kind animal lovers even had pet strollers to put the cats in when they took them for outings. I'm not sure what the shark had to do with the cats, but even the cat toys were in shark boxes.

Her Royal Cuteness and I sat down with our backs to the crowd mostly to hide our giggles and keep our conversation private.

"I know that you want to take a picture and blog about this," she said.

Of course I did, it was just nearly impossible to do without being too obvious. So, I did the cowardly thing and shot the photo over my shoulder and then quickly brought my phone down into my lap.

It would have been nicer if my phone hadn't made the "shutter sound" when I snapped the picture, though, as I think that they noticed. It is a blurry shot, due to shaking hands from laughing, but you should get the idea.

It is not often that HRC and I are the "normal" ones in a room. Made this a pretty momentous occasion!
