I was supposed to call in at 13:30 Mountain time [or anytime thereafter, but earlier is better, because that's when the small-animals guy would be in, and the rat would be back on display, according to him].

So I called. And I ended up talking to some guy whose name I couldn't understand. Because, like most people working in the service industry, they've got a permanent mumbling problem when pronouncing their own names.

Apparently, "The rat was just taken into the vet this morning, and will be staying overnight, so we won't know anything until tomorrow. So you should call back then."

So: tomorrow it is, then....
