Follow me on Twitter How can we help our pets to be more comfortable before they have surgery?
Back home, I’m hearing my name a lot again. This time, I’m also hearing the word “surgery”. I’m not sure what that is, but Jane doesn’t seem worried about it. In fact, she seems pretty happy and relaxed. This “surgery” is going to happen the day after tomorrow, and I’m going to stay overnight at Angell and the plan is for me to go back home on Thursday.
What is this “surgery” and why is Jane so happy and relaxed about it? The surgery is to fix the broken bones in my ankle, and she’s happy about it because with the surgery I may be able to run again, just like I used to. I’m glad she’s not worried about it because if she were worried about it, I might be worried about it too, and I would prefer to just be happy. Being happy is my nature, after all.
Back home, in the evening, my parents make me comfortable. Feeling my loneliness, Jane carries my bed from the living room into the kitchen so that I may spend some time with my parents there while they are cooking dinner.
Am reading this story. Just stopped off to comment on this page. I liked the way you did it. I’m sure Jane was so worried she felt like bursting with it and was working really hard not to show Joey at all. Assuming I’m right, this is presented in a very touching and poignant way.
It’s hard to know what humans are thinking of feeling. It may be that she just didn’t want to show me she was nervous. On the other hand, she trusted my surgeon a whole lot.
