Lucky Gets Sick-Chapter 3

The Henderson's arrived at the vet. Mr. Henderson removed the carrier from the trunk and carried it inside.

Lucky sneezed, attracting the attention of everyone in the parking lot.

"Gesundheit, boy." Mr. Henderson said.

He walked into the vet's office and explained the situation to the receptionist.

When it was finally Lucky's turn, he hopped onto the table and immediately lay down.

'Oh dear.' Dr. Trudy thought. 'This is serious.'

She checked Lucky's vital signs. Detecting no irregularities, Dr. Trudy decided to investigate Lucky's condition.

After an hour, she came to a conclusion.

"He has a cold. He'll be back to his old self with rest and plenty of fluids." Dr. Trudy informed.

"Thank you!" Dot yelled happily, hugging the veterinarian. This made Lucky smile. To see Dot's worries during the car ride finally alleviate, especially since he couldn't verbally reassure her in her parent's presence, brought him greater joy than Cookie's beauty.

Lucky felt Dr. Trudy lift him from the floor and place him in the pet carrier on the table.

'She's stronger than she looks. *sigh* Just like my Cookie.' Lucky thought.

The carrier was placed beside Dot's car seat, and the drive home began.
