i don’t know what i would do without bagel. when he walked out and drug the nurse to the lightpole so he could mark his territory, i had never been happier. i told mom i was scared with tears in my eyes a few hours ago on the way to animal medical hospital, and now i was emotional seeing him in good spirits. i’m having a difficult time coming to terms with bagel growing older. i think about it here and there, but tonight it hit me harder than i’ve ever felt before. there was no explanation for what happened, but we received some medication along with some hope things will get better, given we make a few adjustments and rest.
if that’s what’s asked of us, that’s what we’ll do.
