she got me to take him on a walk – something she knew he loved – and something she knew would tell us if he was in pain. i decided to take him around the block but within the first few houses i knew it was not good. we had to turn around because he was in pain and finally knew we needed to take him to the vet. amy made the appointment and told me she would take him and the kids the next day (last night) since i had a meeting. i knew it would not go well and so i told her i would miss my meeting
