Milo’s Entourage

his worried owner and we three a dog loyal housemate and two friends swept up and together now by Milo’s sudden exhaustion stoic acceptance of pain and definitely not feeling ok

bravely climbing up onto his legs when asked to by his beloved

surrounded now in the animal ER by all of us shivering under a blanket hands seeking to comfort and understand and a parka with familiar smells

Milo, Trish cold tile floor, blanket, parka and Milo’s entourage
