The Vet Visits

He had,
Been trying,
To find,
A vet,
To come,
See,
Little London,
For quite,
Some time,
Years,
Really,
And thankfully,
He finally found,
That person,
And so,
A team,
Of two,
Are on,
Their way,
And now
They have,
Arrived,
And a,
Couple,
Minutes later,
He is,
Meeting them,
And London,
Is meeting,
Them too,
Shortly,
Thereafter,
They are,
Checking,
London,
Out,
Which London,
Doesn’t particularly,
Care for,
But they,
Are sweet,
And gentle,
And brought,
Tons of,
Treats,
They both,
Talk about,
How adorable,
London is,
And so,
Three people,
Are chatting,
About,
The relevant,
Stuff,
London’s diet,
And lifestyle,
And more,
All the,
London things,
They speak,
A bit,
About her,
Heart murmur,
Which is not,
At all,
Uncommon,
With elderly,
Dogs,
It seems,
And,
A few other,
Things,
Are discussed,
No need,
To go,
Into,
More detail,
Here,
London is,
Doing quite well,
And he,
Feels encouraged,
Good to have,
Made this connection,
He thinks,
And now they,
Have,
All of,
London’s,
Medical history,
Or all that he,
Could provide,
So,
The experience,
Has been,
A relief,
Of sorts,
Yet also,
Perhaps,
A little bit,
Sad,
Because,
He wants,
His dear,
Little London,
To live,
Forever,
He wants,
To share,
All the days,
Every,
Single,
One,
With this,
Amazing,
Little dog,
And yet,
The vet,
Didn’t say,
Anything,
About that.

Sidewalk Chat

He and,
Little London,
Are taking,
A short walk,
And London,
Has stopped,
To take in,
Some smells,
They are,
On Tuckerman Street,
And so,
He is,
Just standing there,
Spacing out,
While London,
Does her,
London thing,
And then,
A woman,
Appears,
She starts,
Talking about,
How cute,
London is,
She’s asking,
About,
London’s age,
And about,
How long,
He’s had her,
She’s asking,
About the,
London story,
He just shares,
The basics,
With this,
Woman,
Who he’s never,
Seen before,
And there is,
Some serious,
Eye contact,
Going on,
And they,
Chat,
A bit,
About,
Other stuff,
And then,
The woman,
Who he’s never,
Seen before,
Says she’d be,
Happy to,
Help with,
London,
If he,
Ever needs,
Some help,
And then,
She says,
That she’ll see,
The two,
Of them later,
And she,
Walks away,
And as,
He watches,
Her go,
He realizes that,
They didn’t,
Exchange numbers,
And that he,
Knows very little,
About her,
But it’s a,
Small community,
And he,
And London,
Have walking routes,
And he knows,
That whatever,
It is,
That just happened,
And no matter,
Where it goes,
Their exchange,
A few minutes ago,
Is only,
The beginning.
