Gookin Encounters Pet Emergency

Dan Gookin is proof that real-life emergencies can't be put on hold for a political campaign. On his Facebook wall, Gookin writes: "Just had to rush my kitty, Joseph Button, to the Pet Hospital. Hadn't seen Joe all day when suddenly something made me think to look in the garage. There he was, all messed up. Bloody nose. Puffy face. Wheezing. The Doc thinks he got hit by a car or somehow fell and hit his head. Joe is being observed now. I hope he turns out okay. I have a great Pet Doc (Dr. King in CdA), so I'm sure Joe will be fine."

Question: When did you last have a pet emergency?
