Yesterday was a very good day for Bella. She still shows no signs of anything being wrong and ate and exercised as normal. Nick and Krista drove down from Chattanooga in his new Ferrari to show us his amazing car but also (I think) to be sure to see Bella at least one more time before trouble sets in. It was a very good day for us all.
We enjoyed our best friends, the Campbells, over a great dinner at Mama G's. It was nice to enjoy the company of friends our age along with Nick and Krista who relate to the Campbells as comfortably as we do. The conversation at the table was animated and engaging and full of laughter. I was grateful for a chance to take my mind off the gloomy outlook for Bella for a couple of hours.
We drove home in the dark but it was still early and we all laughed and listened to music until fading out around ten. Bella was long since in bed, having decided for herself when it was time. With no fanfare, she quietly slipped into her kennel an hour earlier and fell asleep. Before I retired I gave her a treat and told her I loved her. Sherry and I watched "The Wire" for half an hour and then fell asleep ourselves.
It was a good day.
