I had to take one of my cats to the Vet last night at about 2am (emergency vet service open late). The clinic was in Greenville, at the corner of Arlington and Evans. (If anyone knows Greenville, they know that is a relatively "dicey" part of town--especially late at night).
Of couse, I was was OCing my Glock 36 in a Serpa.
The assistant met me at the door with my kitty in a carrier, and brought me into the exam room, and took my info, and asked some questions about my cats problem.
The doctor came in and talked to me for a while and then took the kitty into a back exam room to treat my cat. He told me "this might take a while, so if you want to step outside to smoke or get some air, go ahead, but don't wander too far..." He then paused a bit and glanced down at my holster and said "but it looks like you are prepared for anything that might come your way..." and gave me a nod and a "thumbs up"...
I said "yeah, it's Greenville at 2am. A man would be crazy to NOT be prepared..." to which he just nodded and smiled...
Kitty was in the clinic about 2 hours (intestinal blockage) but eventually the doc got things "moving" again, and kitty was feeling better. I paid the bill, talked with the doctor about after-care for my cat, and left feeling much better--about his kind and gentle care for my pet, AND about his support and agreement with my right to Self Defense.
I will happily recommend the "Pet Emergency Clinic of Pitt County" to all my friends...
