This is not what Buck was hoping for right out of the gate on a Thursday morning. But honestly.. what the hell did he expect. It’s his chaos incarnate fur child. She’d apparently managed to get herself free. And not only that but she’s been out all night. Bucky chuckled to himself as he interrogated Dorito. Alpie would be fine it’s nothing serious but it gives him an excuse to act like a dork.
Next you check both high and low and in every little crevice. Because cats are liquid and you can’t tell Bucky any different. Cats are liquid, dogs were people in a past life. And the birds work for the bourgeoisie these are all facts in Bucky’s book. That and once you’ve lost a reptile or amphibian just wait for them to congregate. Under a pipe doesn’t matter which pipe just a pipe. If there’s a water source they’ll find it usually. RIP Squeakers you were a real one and thankfully the owner didn’t have a fit. That and Squeakers had managed to end up getting into some wiring.
The electrician thought they were joking until they saw a crested gecko deep fried in some cords. From then on they called whenever a covering came loose.
Bucky looked in the cat room, the dog room, the bird and herp rooms. The aquatic room and out in the pen where the farm animals are. This was getting a lot less funny and more alarming. Where the hell could Alpine have gone?!
Bucky retraced his steps surely he’d missed something. Ok, supply rooms, dog, cat, herp, bird, aquatic. He was about to start writing up missing posters until he heard an indignant meow. From under the copy machine where Dorito was pawing. Bucky could imagine Alpine was telling him to shut up before she’s caught. Hands and knees and.. yep there she is looking very annoyed. Poor Dorito is going to have to watch his back. So much for Alpine’s jail bust that’s when Buck also saw the field mouse she’d probs of been chasing. Never a dull moment as the emergency vet.
