Life Goes On

We took Meander to the vet today. It was so good to walk in there again. Christine, one of the assistants came out and saw me and her face lit up. Instead of greeting her, I just pointed to the corner where Jay and Meander were standing. Between her and the woman behind the desk one or two animals had to wait a few moments for attention.

For five minutes, our joy was theirs. Christine asked if we wanted Dr. Jeff. Well, yeah.

Not long after, we were ushered into a room and I flinched. It's a patients room I've seldom been in because it's small and in the past they rarely used it. But our vet has gotten popular and now they use all the rooms they have. In the above photo, I was once sitting in the chair Jay is in when I last saw Casey's thick and trusting tail leave me for the last time. Dr. Jeff led him away and Christine was there at the end.

I looked at Jay and Meander and took this photo. All I could think was, life goes on. A cycle. A circle. Grief and gratefulness.

These are photos of the day we got him, and then again today.....two weeks later. His growth is amazing and Jay is pissed he's wearing the same thing in each picture. Clothes horse.
