"Alien" is the VET TECH'S name.

Really, Kim - if you like your vet, and you seem to - talk to her about the tech.

Maybe a nice way is to ask something like "Is [name] okay? She has seemed really unhappy the last couple of days when I have talked to her."

Then the vet might ask more - or might just sigh and nod!

Hope all is well with your boys!
