So here's the deal...

When the receptionist asks you for your last name, they don't intend you to repeat the dog's name. ("This is Buster, you've seen him before. He gets all his vaccinations done here and you neutered him." "Yes, but what's your last name!?") We have approximately 100 "Buster"s in the computer. She asked for your last name so she knows which Buster she's looking for. Similarly, when she asks for your first name, it's an attempt to narrow down which of the 3 dozen "Jones" files she's looking through for that chart. Continuing to repeat the dog's name is not helpful in this situation either.
(This happens periodically... it's apparently not just one person who doesn't understand the concept of answering the question which was asked.)
If you drop the dog's leash in the lobby, letting him run loose, and then leave the building, you should not be surprised when you come back in to find your dog no longer in the lobby. Just be happy that the reason he's not in the lobby is that we put him in a kennel, and not that he's off getting into trouble somewhere. No, I really do not give half of a dooky that you were "only gone for a minute" or that you were "coming right back". You didn't say anything to anyone, just walked out the door and got in your car, leaving the dog loose.
