funny story

we had a crisis the other day at work.
at one point, we were pretty busy- rachel had paged me over the walkies asking if i could take "Toto" up to the front.  so i went to the bathing room and she didn't have the cage tags up and there was one dog that kinda looked like it would be named Toto, and I paged back asking if it was the dog in the top cage, and she said yes.
So i took this dog up to the front and gave it to the lady up there.
Later on when we were getting ready to leave for lunch, i'd been walking alllll these dogs by myself and was wondering where rachel was.  when we were clocking out, she walked by with "Toto" and was like, recognize this dog?
Turns out, it wasn't that lady's dog!  She was a big, pretty old woman.  and she had no idea this dog wasn't the right one- her actual dog Toto was a different color, a lot skinnier, had a tail, and was a completely different breed... 
When I'd taken the dog to her, she said she'd carry him and was like, "oh he's so sweet!" and he was licking her face and she was hugging him.  She couldn't really carry him, and she was like, "he's heavy!" and i'd had to take him from her and put him on the ground- we'd even had a hard time putting its collar, because it was too tight!
But so for a while, unknown to me, everyone had been running around going, "where's Molly?"  and this dog is going on this crazy journey with some woman! Luckily, they had finally gotten in contact with this woman, and she was like, "I can't believe I took the wrong dog!"  

So I couldn't believe I'd given this woman the wrong dog, but she'd seemed so happy to see him that I wasn't thinking, oh, this could be the wrong dog.
It's also funny to me that that Molly seemed so happy to see this woman and was all licking her and just went along with her and was driving home with her!

This made me laugh so hard. I wonder what Molly was thinking that whole time! What a crazy story!
