My Best Friend

It is a well known fact that animals can provide comfort and love to human beings of every age.
My Max is the sweetest, lovable, dog you could ever want.
He has recently acquired an ulcer on his eye.
I really do not know who is hurting more, me or Max.
After 1 week of treatment at home, he was sent to a specialist, who treated him for a week at home. Upon his check up it was shown he had a melting ulcer. So my dear Max had to spend time in the hospital.
Needless to say, Jerry and I had a very uneasy night.
After calling twice, I felt reassured enough to fall asleep.
The next day they said they felt he should spend one more day of treatment around the clock.
We went and visited him and it was so sad. Next day they sad he could come home, but that we would have to do 24 hour eye drops (4 different ) kinds every 3-4 hours Jerry and I worked very well together. But we were very nervous.
I was supposed to go to Chicago with my sister, by it goes without saying that was not going to happen.
We had a difficult morning this morning, but made it through. All the medicine is making him anxious and his stomach upset.
People may think cancelling a trip is silly, but not me. When you love a person, animal, whatever, you do what you must do. And that is what I did. Hopefully, when we take our little guy next week, we will hear better news. Until then, all you animal lovers out there please say a little prayer for my Max.
