Pet concerns


We spent all day yesterday 
At the emergency vet’s office with this little guy — 
Some sort of urinary tract issue 
Which still doesn’t seem resolved: 
He spends much of his time 
Sitting in his litter box 
With occasional breaks for water, 
Or to watch the birds.
We just have to trust that he’s on the mend.
 I ache today for all the other humans — 
Those we saw yesterday, and all the others 
Who must deal with sick or dying pets: 
 So much easier to focus on that 
Than all the larger challenges folks are facing…
