From his book are some of his emergency calls (between 1AM and 3AM)

"My cat is purring too loud."
"My parakeet just flew into my peas."
"My dog just threw up a frog.  What should I do with it?"
"My dog is sitting in front of me sticking its tongue out."
"My dog was limping today but he's better now.  Can I bring him in the morning?" (remember it's between 1AM and 3AM)
