Well, time to head home today. We had an afternoon flight so we did a little more exploring and driving around. Vince's co-worker wanted a shirt from his old favorite bar along the ocean....so we headed over there to get him one. We decided to stop and have some lunch before heading to the airport. When I saw they served Imperial (my fav Costa Rican beer), had to have one of those too! Great last lunch in Tampa!
And then it got real. Real weird! When we got to our gate at the airport, we noticed a couple TV cameras/reports there. I walked over to see what was going on and a woman was there being interviewed about her dog, who just gave birth to a litter of puppies! Yup. She was getting on a plane to go to Chicago, with her dog in active labor. The gate agents held her from getting on the flight and called TSA. She was sitting in the gate area watching the gate agents and TSA assist her dog in labor. Someone must have called the local news station because they were there filming it. It was chaos. And one of the most ridiculous things I had ever seen. There was blood and fluids everywhere. Besides the fact that this poor dog was surround by a ton of people gawking during this whole stressful process, the people that were involved in this (taking away them from their airport jobs), then the HAZMAT crews that had to come clean up the fluids, hair, and everything else you can imagine all over the carpet in the area. It was a disaster. I truly hope this idiotic woman is held responsible for the cost of all this havoc she created. Ok, I ended up going over and taking a pic of the pups after most of the people disbursed, mainly to remember this craziness - and to tell others about it. People - do NOT take your dog to the airport to get on a flight if she is going into labor!!! Please!
Ok, off my soapbox. Some people just amaze me, in a horrifying way!
