On the afternoon of Tuesday September
25, 2012, I took Dolly home from class and brought her into my humble
abode for the evening. I introduced her to my two cats, Jack and
Baby. Baby was rather uninterested in my new friend and more
interested in taking a nap. Jack, on the other hand, was quite
thrilled at the brief addition to the family. I placed Dolly on our
kitchen table and left the room for a moment. When I came back to the
dining room, he had snuggled up with his new friend. After an evening
of cuddling with my cat, Dolly came to work with me at the VA. She
sat quietly on my desk throughout my work day and charmed my
co-workers. In the early afternoon on the 26th, my dad
picked up Dolly and I from my work and we embarked on our journey to
the endodontist in Paducah, KY. Dolly enjoyed an hour and fifteen
minutes of lively conversation between me and my dad. Once we arrived
at our destination of Dr. Shield's office, we paused for a brief
photo shoot in front of the sign for her office. Dolly was a great
comfort to me while they stuck my gums with needles and drilled holes
in my tooth. After our office visit, Dolly and I climbed back into my
parents' car and headed for home. Dolly and my dad greatly enjoyed my
attempts at speech on the way home as I attempted to speak with half
of my mouth numb. My dad returned us to the VA where Dolly and I
climbed into my car and proceeded to the meeting for the Student
Council for Exceptional Children at SIU. After spending one more
evening in my lovely home, Dolly and I went for a short bike ride on
Thursday morning where I returned her safe and sound to Mrs. Stearns.
