Not All Heroes Wear Capes

---

This old gal…

Was ridiculously anxious about taking Pumpkin to the vet…panicky almost…

Worried about putting him in the carrier…him riding in the car…worried about carrying him…him feeling sick…him being scared…

Worried about how he’d react…worried he’d bite…scratch…freak the he** out…

Worried about taking him alone as that husband of mine wasn’t available…worried and worried…then what to my wondering eyes should appear…that friend of mine…

19 year old walking buddy…dog mom…Vera Bradley lover…offers to come along…takes charge really…calms those emotional waters of her old gal friend…

And so it is…not all heroes wear capes…and as we sat waiting while Pumpkin was with the vet…one of us went on and on about her worries…and the other one…the young wise one…looked over and said…

It doesn’t surprise me that you have a daughter with OCD…

Touche’…my friend…touche’…
​
And that daughter of mine…would agree…
