S has a phone that he didn't bother to charge all summer (why would he? he was already with his friends!). X harassed him a few times over the summer about not being able to talk to him - no emergency, just that x misses him. I missed him, too, but also know that he is a teenager. X's explanation that he should have known as soon as I knew (and that is the real thing here), is that he wouldn't have gone to his brothers to get stone that day, that he should have known his son was in the middle of the sound with 10 foot waves, that he could have tried to get him from the ferry from his way home from work.....
It's all nonsense. I wasn't going to ask him to get S. He just isn't happy with his circumstances, and that is just too bad.
ANYway....doggie is fine. I, however, might have to get the series of rabies shots!! Calls to animal control to get the raccoon tested lead to calls to the health department, who told me to call my Dr., who sent me to the ER - he wanted the shots started right away!! Thankfully the ER dr. called infectious control, who said to wait until the test results come back on the animal. So, no shots unless the tests take longer than the weekend or the animal comes back with a clean bill of health (except, of course, the fact that it is dead). Ugh - I hate shots.
