You Pretty Much Don’t Want Them To Get Either, Though

(I’m an assistant at a vet clinic. Another assistant is in a room with the veterinarian and a patient with their owner getting vaccinations. She comes out a few minutes later, shaking her head and smiling. She tells me about this exchange:)

Owner: *while coworker attaches new rabies tag to pet’s collar* “Oh, is that his herpes tag?”

Coworker: *pause* “No, ma’am, this is his rabies tag.”

Owner: “Oh, good!”

(Totally made my day.)
