More on the chihuahua

So the owners of the chihuahua who spent the weekend in my bathtub never bothered to call and ask about her until sunday night. Left a message on the machine, in which the man sounded drugged. Chihuahua whelped this morning--2 at my house, then I bundled her up and took her to work with me, she had the rest there. When I tried to call the owners to tell them that, I got a recorded "this voice mail box is full" thing. They called back as she was having the fourth pup. I told them what was happening, and told them that they'd be charged a boarding fee since they left her for the weekend. And told them to give her some time to have the last puppies before they picked her up, so we didn't have to disturb her any more than necessary. The guy says "ok, we'll be up to get her later." Later, apparently, means in less than 5 minutes. Cuz THAT'S enough time to have 2 babies.

Beeotch (the receptionist named this one!) comes wandering into the back room, hollering for "doctor burnette" (not the name of anyone who works here!). We asked her to wait up front, and said someone would be up in a minute, we're all currently busy doing treatments. She goes back up front, then about 3 seconds later comes back into the treatment room by way of the other hall. Once again, we tell her to go back to the lobby. "I thought someone said to come back here" No. nobody told you to come back here. We very distinctly said "Someone will be up front to help you in a minute."

One of the techs gets free and goes up front to run her bill through and get the money for the weekend boarding. Beeotch offers $5. Gee, thanks. Glad to know our services are worth so much. I DON'T THINK SO. Tech eventually gets the whole amount out of her. And once again, she comes back into the treatment area. I ask her AGAIN to wait a few minutes, and explain that the dog is in the middle of having a puppy and it would really be better if she wasn't disturbed until she's had time to clean the puppy up. Beeotch says "It won't disturb her to have me here" and opens the fucking kennel, and CALLS THE DAMNED DOG. Who of course leaves the pups (breaking the umbilical cord on the one she's just had without passing the placenta out of course), and runs over to the owner. "Please let her take care of her pups. She can go home in a few minutes." "I'm not disturbing her" "Yes, yes you obviously are, because she's NOT CLEANING HER PUP." At which point, the fucking Beeotch has the audacity to tell me that she's probably delivered more babies than I have anyway. She's living up to her name here.

So the general consensus of everyone at the clinic is that if Beeotch calls back, we don't have any available appointments. She's fired.
