The Clinic

Betty was still excited about the special trip and could not sit still on the lady’s lap.  It was still very early and the sky refused to wake up.  The clinic was not far away and they pulled in to find a parking lot full of other cars and pacing dogs.

The man went into the building, coming back out after only a few minutes.  “You would not believe this line.  I have to fill out a form and then take a number.  Just wait here I guess.”

The lady sang along to music as Betty paced, trying to hide under the foot pedals of the car.  After much fussing, the lady and Betty settled on Betty being able to sit up on the drivers’ seat, but only if she could sit still.  Finally, the man returned and Betty went into the clinic in the man’s arms, trembling.
