I don't know - maybe birth has changed in the ten years since Emmett was born.
Maybe it hasn't, but JZ didn't give birth to Emmett.

The Frat Boys Next Door have left their puppy tied up on the back porch with no shade and no water. Anyone have advice on what we should do? They ight be home - should we knock on the door? And then say, what? Call Animal Welfare?

The evil is this way?
Meanwhile, the Anglicans and Greek Orthodox are all, "What the hell did we do? We haven't been speaking to him for centuries."
It's their own fault. They should have never broken away. Quitters. (I mean, REALLY. So, there was widespread corruption in the Catholic Church. And some of the Popes were arrogant SOBs. It's not like they launched a world war. Except for the Crusades. Oh, never mind.....) They deserved the wrath brought down upon them!! Or something.

Our wings are not tired.
Poor puppy. Can you get some water to him? Animal Welfare probably isn't an option on Sunday.

Knock on the door. If they don't answer, steal puppy until they return and give them a proper lecture.

I have a giant effing headache. I went to bed very late last night this morning, about 2:00 or so, and was up by 8:00. Gronk.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Animal control is usually part of the local police department. They're on call 24/7, 365. I'd try there first. The dog's safety is the first issue. And lessons in care and feeding might sink in faster coming from someone who can give them a ticket for a violation, rather than a nice neighbor.
David, things have changed A LOT. Enjoy the experience together with JZ. DH wasn't exactly excited about our class but he sucked it up and took it and was engaged in spite of having "better" things to do. Which, really, there isn't anything "better to do" when it comes to preparing for this event.

We dithered a bit and went back out and they'd taken the pup inside. So mr. flea emailed Animal Control to ask their advice and specifically if someone could come by and have a friendly word with them about the proper care of dogs. I think the Frat Boys have their hearts in the right place, they're just young and irresponsible and inexperienced. Aside from the dog's safety, though, it's a chocolate lab, and those are big and rambunctious and they should do some training work. Of course, they adopted it from the shelter. I though shelters were draconian in assessing the pets' homes these days!

I'd offer them a flyer from Petsmart or somewhere else that offers puppy training. They're going to need it. Poor puppy.

In terms of hospital births, if you're lucky, it has. A lot of things that were SOP a decade ago are no longer SOP, because, shock shock, they found out that, oops, actually said thing didn't really help.
Also, pumpkin, after a decade, I think a refresher course is in order.
Hell, I was the one giving birth, it was only a year and a half ago, and if I were doing it again, damn skippy I'd take a refresher.
