All art is at once surface and symbol

Dad and I took Freddie to the vet, and it turns out he had a pancreatic inflammation that makes him too nauseated to eat or drink. He was so dehydrated and miserable that they had to put him on IVs. During check-up, we put Mom on the phone and Freddie wagged his tail a little bit at hearing her voice. Dad was really scared he was going to die. But I wanted to believe Freddie would be okay... and he made it! The whole family came to visit him on Thanksgiving, and we took turns holding him in our laps. He's home now, and he's eating and drinking again! He's his old self too, smiling and wagging his tail and following us around. He enjoys the little things like watching me clean Ryu's cage. Amanda got a great deal more energetic when he came back too, and even lay beside him. I can't stop giving Freddie cuddles and kisses. ;; He jumped on the bed and napped with me too. As long as we keep giving him his medicine, he's going to be okay. ;;

Meanwhile, Cecil Harvey and Lisa Garland are dating in Dysfunction Koholint Island. Let's see how long this'll last.

What riveting saga lies beneath the cut?
