Jessica didn't come w/us... it was just me and Caroline, my oldest... and yes, we were EXCITED!!! Even the staff was amazed at the difference in Mick's behavior...
The "hated" clinic...
Mick is anxious and needs a hug.
I tell him the joke about "A cat, a Rabbi and a Priest walk into a bar..."
... and even though he's heard that one a million times, he manages a chuckle anyway.
On the way home we stopped at the store and bought him a steak.
