Black Lab Fever
Faithful and affectionate, Labrador Retrievers have consistently ranked number one as the most popular dog breed for families. In the last twenty years, I have had the honor and pleasure of owning five Labs. Before I tell you about my boys, let me first explain that I’ve had pets all my life - dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, parakeets, reptiles. Each type taught me different lessons about pet ownership (for example, I’m a fish killer – I shouldn’t be allowed to have fish.) However, if I had to pick my favorite kind of pet, I’d have to choose dogs.

The call came at 2:30am on June 30th, 2010. A call that jolts you from your sleep in the middle of the night is never a good call. I don’t remember the exact conversation, only phrases like "sepsis" and “massive heart attack” and “we did everything possible” and “we’re very sorry.”

3:33 am
I woke with a start, heart hammering in my chest. Flat on my back, skin prickled with goose bumps, I shivered in my thin gown. At some point during the night I’d kicked off the blankets and lost my second pillow. Sighing, I stared at the ceiling, allowing my eyes to adjust to the darkness. The bedroom was quiet, save for the soft hum of the ever-running ceiling fan. I could just make out the whirling blades.

Free Bird
Rickie Lynn Smalls sat cross-legged on the floor of the hospital lobby, drawing a heart on her arm cast. She drew slowly, purposefully, ignoring the social worker perched on the chair behind her. Fleetwood Mac’s “Go Your Own Way” played over the speaker. Rickie hummed along and kept drawing, proud of her steady hand. Good thing Carl broke my left arm and not my right or I’d be screwed, she thought.
