    I'll have to see about getting the day off.
    It's been decades since I've visited the ROM. This seems like a good reason, in addition to the regular exhibits.
    I am easily moved for sympathy for dogs, far more so than for humans, because dogs do not understand. There is no way to explain that you will return, that the vet will make it all better, that they cannot go shooting today because that is not what today is about. They cannot work out that their misery is finite and will some time end, and so their misery is magnified.
