I am from DFW and I'm currently in El Paso for work. This morning I noticed my 6 month old female puppy began showing signs of a UTI. As a former vet tech I know veterinary medicine pretty well. We came in expecting a urine sample to be taken to confirm the UTI and to be given some antibiotics. Instead, the vet decided that my 6 month old puppy was "too young" for a urinalysis and was going to treat her purely based off of her symptoms. She was taken to the back to be seen by the Dr. rather than the Dr. coming into the exam room to evaluate and treat her. This made me uncomfortable as a pet parent. My usual vet back at home has always allowed me to be present and in the room during exams. (side note, I was wearing a mask and have been fully vaccinated). She was given some antibiotics and some Carprofen for pain. They also gave her a penicillin shot in between the shoulder blades. Penicillin does normally sting a little bit when it is first injected however, my dog was SCREAMING, I mean writhing in pain all the way out to the car. The crying went on for well over 5 minutes. She was in so much pain she proceeded to try and bite my significant other as he slowly removed her harness once she was back in my vehicle. This behavior is absolutely not like her at all. When I walked back into the clinic concerned as this is NOT a normal reaction to a penicillin shot, the staff laughed at the fact that my dog could be heard crying out and whining from my vehicle. That's when I lost it and began yelling. I said something along the lines of "This isn't fucking funny. My dog is in a lot of pain. What time hell did you do, what injection was she given and where?" The staff was pretty taken back by my reaction, which made me feel like an asshole. However, at the same time to laugh at an animal that is so clearly in pain is absolutely disgusting to me and really struck a nerve. Maybe I shouldn't have yelled, in hindsight I feel like I may have been the asshole. On the other hand, my animals are my children and I was appalled by the staffs behavior. There ya have it folks, I need to know. Am I the asshole?
EDIT #1: For context, I know for certain they were laughing at my dog. They specifically asked me "is that your dog crying?" While laughing and saying things like "what a baby" and "that's ridiculous, she's so loud".
EDIT #2: The vet clinic this occured at was Eastwood Animal Clinic in El Paso, TX.
Do your worst!
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
It's as easy as pi!
Heya. I'm always looking for new friends. I'm fairly active on snap! I'm a veterinary assistant, I enjoy gaming, cooking and music. I have a decent meme collection. I enjoy both deep and nonsensical conversations. Honestly, I'm searching for a possible best friend! If you like stupid, funny memes and cute animals, I'm your girl. Just shoot me a message, can't wait to meet you!
They’re on standbi
Pilot on me!!
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
What did 0 say to 8 ?
" Nice Belt "
So What did 3 say to 8 ?

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.

Me grabbing a soda from my (what I thought was) half full 12pk...
Notices there's only 2;
Me: "Awe man... This is a damn bird box!" Her: "What the hell does that mean?!" Me: (Pulls both cans out & shows them to her) "It's only got Toucans."
I'm not ashamed to admit the look on her face was glorious.
