    I got this while at MSPCA Angell a minute or two after the ER doc gave me the “you should get ready to say goodbye” talk. My partner was out grabbing us coffee, I was trying to communicate updates to the foster and adoption agency (I’d just brought her home over the weekend so was worried it might be something others were exposed to), and my goddamn phone starts BLARING with this shit. The only thing I managed to catch before I panic dismissed it to make it stop was EVACUATE, SEEK SHELTER and it scared the shit out of me, but in that moment I decided whatever it was, I officially gave zero shits, got back to sorting out what was happening with my pet, and then went back to check if I was about to be obliterated by something only to find out that it was an emergency concert closing. Pet didn’t make it. 0/10, this Fourth of July absolutely blew.

      I’m so sorry about your pet, and that you had to deal with a poorly timed “emergency” announcement on top of everything else. Wishing you better days ahead.

      I just had a flashback to being in ‘the room’ where I said goodbye to my dog last year. I was with her through the whole thing and that room is forever imprinted in my mind.

      Angell might be expensive, but they’re professionals, and I’m glad they’re in the neighborhood.

      Sorry for your loss

      Im so so sorry to hear that. You have my deepest condolences.

      My beloved pet passed from heart failure a few months ago, so I’ve been grieving since. I’m finally getting to a point where I think more about her happy days than the finals days…but not by much. Everyday is a struggle.

      Best wishes on your healing journey.

    Am I the only one that has no clue what “MCP” was until I googled what the hell that message was?

    They should have just said “Police”

      My B I guess it was MSP. Glad I wasn’t the only one who looked at it like wtf org is this even? My gf just rolled her eyes at me when I said that, so glad to hear I’m not alone here.

    I was on the highway driving back to the city when my phone started screaming and all I could see was “EVACUATE BOSTON…”
