One viewer sent this gem:
"My brother took his dog to the groomers last week. How can they be open at a time like this?"Imagine stewing over the whole weekend at your sibling's effrontery in taking his pet in to be cared for until it got to be too much and you had to passive-aggressively fink on him to the local television station.
In order to answer Gladys Kravitz's question, though, among essential businesses in Indiana are those "businesses that provide food, shelter, and other necessities of life for animals, including animal shelters, rescues, shelters, kennels, and adoption facilities." So that covers your brother's dog groomer as well as his doggie daycare center, if he has one.
As to how they can remain open at a time like this? Probably with curbside dropoff and pickup, like we did for the new cat's last vet visit, or like most places with a lick of sense that have that option. (Heck, my local package store has taken that route; I can't say I hate it. Maybe a drive-thru window is next?)
The main lesson here, though, is get up out of your brother's grille. Quit finking on him for imaginary transgressions. See if your therapist does remote sessions via Skype, or get into the boxed wine a little earlier in the day, or something. But you need to unclench, Karen.
