Im not American so please forgive me if this comes across as rude but when Americans start a sentence with "during the 2016 killer clown craze-" I can't help myself.

I was a full 16 minutes late to feed Poppy her dinner and when I got downstairs she was lying in the middle of the kitchen floor, paws crossed, looking up at me with expectant disapproval, like, “I’ve been waiting. You’re late. You’re also fired.”
