To own up or not?

I think the truth always works, it's nothing to be ashamed of.

Definitely cancel and say why. Some vets charge if you simply don't turn up. They will have a laugh.
I once had to cancel as I couldn't get puss to co-operate - he wouldn't get in his travel basket no matter how much I tried. How pathetic is that?
I shut him in a room with the basket already fully opened and take him by surprise now.
Glad kitty is all right.

Hi, yes - tell them and cancel apt asap. They'll love the story. ?

By all means cancel the appointment but tell the Vets the reason. It will make their day

Reminds me of the time years ago that I called in the Gas Board because I thought I could smell gas in the kitchen. They came very promptly and spent ages trying to find a leak with no avail. After they'd left I realised it was the cat litter that smelt!!!!

I agree, own up . Made me smile and I'm sure the vets would find it amusing

Tell them the truth, I'm sure they will find it amusing.I'm sure they will have heard other things like that.

Oh yes definitely own up - the staff will love that and it will get repeated around the practice! Don't say it was avocado though as I have a feeling that that is poisonous to some animals - dogs shouldn't have it.

Blimey, how long was the butternut squash THERE for? They last for months and months, lol

I find that funny, too. We used to grow them in our US garden and one got so big that it wasn't practical to eat, so my mother used it for the kitchen back door stop. It never rotted, must have 'petrified' inside or something!

Ha ha!! I would definitely own up to the vet; I agree, I'm sure they'll have a good laugh. As for housekeeping skills, that reminds me - I must check my fridge........

I'd just tell the truth - would brighten the receptionist's day with a chuckle.

Definitely tell them the truth - we all need a giggle or two at work and it will make their day. They will have heard much sillier stories about pets before.

Does one have to give a reason for cancelling an appointment? Mind you I'm gratified by the reasoning! Reminds me I'm not alone!

Butternut squash sounded posh enough to me. I would own up - it is funny and there won't be a cancellation fee ... just a lot of smiles. Didn't even cross my mind to be judgemental about housekeeping skills - could so easily have been me LOL

What! The kitten?

Take it back to Waitrose and claim a refund?

Take some of the butternut squash gunk in and ask for it to be analysed .

Then own up!

Our vet would love it.

kitty. I'd tell them, I'm sure the staff will laugh.

Apparently there was when she opened the cupboard. I'm still giggling about it!

Cancel appointment and say DC confessed to having spilt jar of paint water on kitchen floor

Was there not a funny smell as well?

They probably won't ask for a reason, but I'd tell them what happened to brighten up the day. The staff will have a good giggle!
