"Dr. Cohn speaking" My greeting is always formal.
I listen very closely to the voice on the other line and quickly hang up once I've understood the message. i jump out of bed and throw on a clean pair of clothes. Racing out towards the whimper i say,
"okay boy, you ready?" i don't think he's ever been so excited to see me. I feed him an apple i was able to snatch from the kitchen on my way out. His response makes my laugh.
i suit him up, put all the medical tools i need on his right side, and all extras on the left. I set the latter on his left side, careful not to set it on his huge toe. It usually takes me about 5 minutes to get on him comfortably. When i sit down on his back, the sensation of the pain comes rushing back- i definitely have to invest in some new riding gear.
"Alright boy, you know what to do. Lets go!"
The big blue dinosaur thumps into the sunrise, about to fulfill his duty.
