Today has been a bad day. Whenever I personally get sick, I get really depressed and sort of lonely and everything feels weird. Now that Kody’s sick, I feel the exact same way.

We just got back from the vet and Kody has a fractured tooth. That means that one of the points of his molars broke clean off, most likely while he was chewing on a bully stick. Since he is so young, the best bet is to do a root canal and have a cap put [...]
