Just got a phone call from one of my employees out sweeping parking lots tonight.
Driver: There is a white cat in the mulch at one of our accounts.
Me: So. . .
Driver: It is dead.
Me: Oh.
Driver: Someone tried to bury it.
Me: Okaaay. . .
Driver: Well, it is white. . . and . . .ahhh . . .they didn't do a very good job.
Me: Okay.
Driver: Will you be in the area tomorrow at all?
Me: I don't know.
Driver: If you are, umm. . . maybe you should bring a pitchfork or something.
Me: What for?
Driver: The cat.
Me: What for?
Driver: To pick it up.
Me: Just throw it in the hopper.
Driver: Ummm. . . okay. . . I guess I can do that.
Me: Is it stiff?
Driver: I don't know yet.
Me: Well if it is nasty or something just let me know and I will scoop it up tomorrow. Otherwise just throw it in there.
Driver: (After a bit of a pause) ok.
Me: Thank you. You can now add that to the list of nasty stuff you have picked up while sweeping parking lots.
Driver: hahahahahahaha, Yeah, hahahahaha.
I tell you this as a remind people "Spay and neuter your pets." Bob Barker would.
I could write a book about crazy stuff witnessed while sweeping parking lots. I swear people would either love it or call me a liar. There are some crazy people out there, but I haven't had anyone bury any pets in shallow graves in my fresh mulch before now. Dang.
