Dec. 27 – Thurs.
Went over to see Lindsey, the vet on Abbott Rd. – I described Pal’s symptoms to him but he seemed uninterested. I called Hank and asked him to go with me, & we take Pal to Dr. Mook in Lancaster tomorrow night. Pal looks at us with pleading eyes, but we are unable to do anything for him, except give him extra love + sympathy.
Evening to Berlins – a pleasant time – Bella served a delicious roast turkey dinner, and we stuffed ourselves.
