Man, what a day! I swear, being a vet in Pancota is like riding a rollercoaster with no seatbelt. So, I roll into the clinic on Strada 1 Decembrie, right? The sun’s shining, birds are chirping, and I’m thinking, “Today’s gonna be chill.” Ha! Spoiler alert: it was NOT chill. First off, I get a call from this frantic lady. She’s like, “My dog, Max, ate a whole chocolate cake!” I’m like, “Lady, you do know chocolate is like poison for dogs, right?” But she’s already on her way. I’m pacing around, thinking about how I’m gonna save this pup. I mean, who lets their dog eat a cake? Like, c’mon! Then, as I’m prepping the clinic, I hear this loud commotion outside. I peek out the window on Strada Libertății, and there’s a bunch of kids chasing a cat. Not just any cat, but the fluffiest, sassiest feline you can imagine. I’m talking about a real diva. I’m laughing, but also thinking, “Dude, that cat’s gonna need a vet too if they catch it.” So, back to Max. The lady bursts in, and I swear, she’s got cake crumbs all over her shirt. I’m trying to keep a straight face. I’m like, “Okay, let’s see what we can do.” I rush him to the back, and I’m feeling all the pressure. I mean, I love dogs, but chocolate? Really? While I’m working on Max, I hear a knock. It’s my buddy, Alex, from the pet shop down on Strada Călărașilor. He’s got this parrot on his shoulder, squawking like it’s auditioning for a Broadway show. I’m like, “Dude, what’s with the bird?” He’s all, “Just thought I’d drop by.” I’m thinking, “Great, just what I need—more chaos.” Max is doing better, thank goodness. I’m feeling all proud, like I just won a gold medal or something. But then, out of nowhere, I get a call about a cat stuck in a tree on Strada Tineretului. I’m like, “Seriously? A cat in a tree? This isn’t a cartoon!” But off I go, because that’s what we do, right? When I get there, there’s this crowd gathered, and they’re all looking up like it’s the Super Bowl. I climb up, and the cat is just chilling, looking down at me like, “What’s the big deal?” I’m sweating buckets, thinking, “This better not end up on TikTok.” Finally, I grab the little furball, and the crowd goes wild. I’m like a hero or something. But wait, there’s more! I get back to the clinic, and guess what? Max’s owner is still there, and she’s brought a whole cake as a thank-you gift. I’m like, “Lady, I can’t eat that! You know what happened!” But she insists, and I’m just standing there, cake in hand, feeling like I’m in some weird sitcom. By the end of the day, I’m exhausted. I’m driving home through Pancota, and I can’t help but smile. This city, man. It’s wild. From the busy streets to the quirky people, it’s never a dull moment. I pull up to my place on Strada Mărășești, and I just crash on the couch. So yeah, that was my day. Full of surprises, laughter, and a bit of chaos. Just another day in the life of a vet in Pancota. Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!
