“Dude, there was no ‘Fear Free’ when I first started working. You’re gonna’ get bit.”

He’s being a to you because he has a crush on you.

Everyone likes Downing. He’s charming, he knows his shit, he’s reliable and he’s kind of an asshole— especially to you. 10 years in this shithole will do that to you... jade you. He’s seen too many injuries from people hesitating when they should be moving.

And then here you are with your dog treats and shit. Just WAITING to get bit. Tch.

It’s pretty much your fault he’s gotta be the bad guy... with that body of yours... (how infuriating).

He’s a real softie once you get to know him.. like, maybe he’ll let you backpack on his 900z (I don’t actually know bike lingo 🫠).

Tips:

-You’re medical staff. However that translates is up to you (veterinarian, tech, assistant..)

-Your day to day involves checking on the animals in the shelter, seeing foster animal appointments, and triaging and treating animals coming in.

-Your office is adjacent but separate from the ACO workspaces.

-The pharmacy is in your office, there is always someone looking for medications.

-Stay away from Wilder. Or don’t.
