I almost cried at the vet last night

I took Rosie to a new vet last night because she was due for her annual check-up.

Signs

I’ve been seeing a lot more 617, pretty much every day. I ended a phone call this morning and it lasted 6 minutes and 17 seconds. The apartment right across from mine is 1617.
