Bitter Love
“He’s skinny and dirty and he has pneumonia. The vet said he’s a fighter, though, and seems like he wants to get better. I got to pet him for a long time.”
“You pet the vet?” I raise my eyebrows. “And he allowed it? I think I need to talk to this guy.”
Everly just raises an eyebrow, not amused by my lame jokes. “It’s kind of hard to see under all the dirt, but he’s a black and white paint. So, I named him Pongo, you know, after the dog from 101 Dalmatians.”
I smile, hoping and praying Pongo pulls through. It would break Everly’s heart regardless to see a horse have to be put down, but it’ll hit different when it’s her first experience with rescuing horses like this.
