Dog days

Dog's off his kibbles for over a month now. he comes and sniffs and ignores, new flavor entreaties commands and hand-feeding notwithstanding. he drinks and he gobbles up treats. he poops and he pees. he is neither yellow nor white nor is he in obvious discomfort. he is his goofy indiscriminately enthusiastic self. he is sweetly protective when i discover a roach. he sleeps a whole lot.

today, he refuses to walk after a block. his puffs sound more labored. he looks almost miserable. i want to hustle him to the vet.

the problem is, because you understand how limited doctors truly are with their speaking patients, you honestly wonder just how much a vet can do with a canine one.
