Why does everything always happen after hours?

This is Rocky when Justin got him to the emergency after hours vet and some of the benadryle had kicked in.
This is Rocky two hours after coming home from the vet and knocked out from all the meds.


We had to rush our Boxer to the emergency vet last night after he was attacked by a swarm of wasps. This is not the first time this has happened. He was also attacked last week by another swarm of wasps. We thought that we gotten rid of them the last time it happened or I would not have let him in the back yard. Because of that, the vet told us that he can no longer be stung by a wasp b/c he would go into shock. The said that since he is still a puppy and b/c everytime that he gets stung, the reaction will get worse every time. So Rocky is now an in-house dog. I felt so bad for him. From the time that he got stung, it took about 3 minutes for his eyes to puff up and the hives to break out all over him to go from red spots to bubble gum sized welts. The vet told us the only reason that he was breathing when he got there is b/c we gave him childrens benadryle immeadiatly and drove to the vet right away. They gave him more benadryle, some steroids and some pain killers. After about two hours he started looking normal and was very, very loopy.

So, why is it that everything happens after business hours are closed?

That didn't just sting the puppy, it also got your wallet.

Yes, it did. But at least the amount was lower than I thought it would be.
