Please Call if You Can't Make It
If you need to call because your cat of 13 years suddenly develops a life-threatening rash and you'd normally drop him off at the vet but the vet is away for the long weekend so you need to get a hold of the old vet you used to use but stopped because he seemed to have a penchant for holistic healing and although you adore your feline you don't really think the technique works since part of it working is believing that it does and even though you love your whiskers probably more than your sister you can't give him the ability to think and believe in holistic medicine, or at least if you could, wouldn't it be preferable for his faith to be in the existence of some Higher Being? because wouldn't that make more sense or at least bring more comfort to a living creature even if he is a cat, as much as you would miss him and miss him and miss him - which is why you may be frantically searching for his number but being the thoughtful sort you realize you must alert me to your predicament or at least let me know you probably wouldn't be able to make it to a rose show, even if it is a rose AND art show and so here are my numbers: 604.555.2532 Cell: 555.2140.
