What a day so far

My father in law passed away at 12:30 am or so. His wife and daughter (my wife) were in the room. Their apartment in a rest home with a hospice nurse there. God bless those people.

About 15 minutes ago I’m outside having a smoke. The boy - dog - is outside too. He jumps or there’s some weird movement. Come on buddy. I sit down inside, kick the legs up on the chair, he climbs up in the arm of the chair and he has a 4-6 gash in hs skin. Right side. Not a lot of blood. HOLY FUCKING SHIT. I call the first place on Google. They direct me to an emergency vet I had no idea about. Very new but clearly professional.

Are you fucking kidding me!?!?

But try to give them up tomorrow, please. We'd like you to stick around as long as possible.

Hope the pooch is fine. Sorry about your father-in-law.

Maybe things will get better tonight. GAWD, I hope so!!!
