Wicked update: he saw the vet again today and is doing reasonably well; had his annual shots, had a long walk. Oh, and caused human panic this morning -- will take a thread to relay. Quite funny! So, getting ready to take Wicked for his shots.
Me: Is WickedDog still outside?
Spouse, who had put him out on his chain because he wanted out again after his walk: No, I let him in.
Me: Are you sure? I can't find him.
Spouse and I search various rooms. No dog ...

Brief thread: Support your local volunteer #firefighters; they're the ones who are actually in your towns and villages with all the equipment and training when there's a bad accident -- They are individual nodes of trained help walking by, driving by, there right away even before their trucks and gear show up, while police and ambulances can take twenty minutes or longer to show up and the hospital is closed.
