Prince JR - A Royal Pain In The Butt

I went to bed early.  What felt like late in the night, Kim showed up.  I asked what time it was.  She told me it was 2:00am and followed it with, "Guess where I've been?  The vet clinic with JR."

Two simultaneous thoughts poured in my head and radiated together - Is he alright? How much is it gonna cost?

Kim went on to tell me, "It's a horrible abscess in his butt.  They said they could put him to sleep or wait until Monday and he might be okay.  I told them I could wait until Monday."

Still in a daze, I thought it would be cheap to put him to sleep and at the same time my stomach knotted up and I suddenly had this cute vision of JR in the kitchen ready for his morning outting.  At the same time I was thinking that Kim had been pretty nonchalant about putting him to sleep.

I said, "Put'em to sleep???"  She said, "No, I mean put him under anesthesia and do some kinda procedure."  I went back to cost , "You know he's had a good life and puttin' him down would clear it all up..." And the other, "Good, he's gonna be okay".

Kim is now mopping since JR infiltrated and been wiping his abscess butt juices into the no-dog-zone part of the house.
