it's been a long week for the baron and the husband (and probably longer still for tucker) as various doctors tried to sort out his diagnosis and treatment, but now, 10 days after the seizure that first indicated he might be ill, tucker is seeming better and better: he's ambulatory, and has regained his appetite, vision, and sense of smell. his hearing seems not to be so great, but yesterday the baron did notice tucker's ears twitch at the sound of the cookie jar lid being removed and was heartened by it.
years ago, when the baron and the husband were certain they did not want and would not have children, they mourned the life tucker would not have: he seemed the kind of dog specially bred for a little boy to roam and romp with, best friends armed with sticks and tennis balls.
things are much changed since those early days! when toddler x was born, among his parents' first thoughts was: how lucky this boy, to have tucker! and how lucky tucker is, to have this boy!
if things had gone a different way this week, the baron and the husband would have had a hard time putting things back together. happily and luckily, this round goes to tucker and there will be no mourning, only celebrating.
