"You'll be okay, Carson. Promise me you'll pull through this for Amanda, okay? She'd die without you." I said, giving him a quick kiss on the nose. "You can do it, Carson. I know you can." Amanda kissed him once more before we left, and then she led me back out to the lobby. She got into the car, and we drove home, with one less person in the car.
We got home and Amanda collapsed on the couch.
"Honey, where's Carson?" he mom asked. This brought on a whole other set of sobs. She explained the whole thing while bawling her eyes out to her mother. Her mother held her and they both cried.
I wished there was something I could do. I needed to get back to the vet and stay with him. I looked pleadingly into Amanda's eyes. Take me to him Amanda. I can make him better. Please Amanda. I begged. I grabbed Carson's leash out of her hand. Come on Amanda. Think. I ran in circles, and I grabbed on of his toys. I ran to the door and sat there.
"Ari, it's okay girl. Go lay down." she said to me before bed that night. I sat there all night.
Finally after everyone had gone to bed, I made my escape. I snuck through the doggy door and hopped the fence. I knew my way to the hospital, and I just had to get there.
