Suzanne sat anxiously, with her legs crossed and with one leg jumping up and down against the floor. One of her arms held onto a leash while the other one supported her chin as she tried not to look around too much. This wasn’t her environment at all, full of animals and weird smells and barking. Petunia, her boxer mix, didn’t seem at all bothered by the fact they were surrounded by other dogs, a squawking bird and a nervous, hissing cat. There was even a bigass turtle with a leash around its shell by the end of the hallway. In fact, the dog was pretty ecstatic to be out and about with her owner and to be so surrounded by friendly animals. Suzanne, on the other hand, was a bit mortified to be seen with her dog. It wasn’t that she didn’t like her dog, but she could feel the looks passersby gave her once they gave Petunia a quick glance. The bright red marks that she hadn’t been able to rub out of her snout were pretty obviously not supposed to be there.
