Kidney-er

In the supercool movie Tombstone, people refer to Doc Holliday as “lunger” because he has tuberculosis. By that logic, I guess we need to start calling Fame “kidney-er” because she has kidney disease.

That’s what an ultrasound this week showed.

I am scared her service dog group is going to make me retire her, I hope not. Even ignoring the pandemic’s effect that has kept me home, I hardly ever go out. Retirement ill-suited Claren, my first service dog. I hope they trust me.

I also worry about paying for the new food and supplement she needs.

Mostly, though, I’m afraid for my wonderful companion.

Wyatt never Doc “lunger,”so I won’t use “kidney-er.” It doesn’t sound cool either.
