Working in a pet store is so weird, like you end up invested in these people’s pet’s lives and they somehow learn about your life little bits at a time and then one day they’re asking you to babysit their Guinea pig because their kid might be allergic and the allergy test isn’t until next week and you’re the only person they trust.
