“She just started whimpering all of a sudden,” said Via, kneeling down next to Mom.
I looked down at Mom, who was crying, too. “I’m taking her to the animal hospital downtown,” she said.
“The taxi’s coming to pick me up.” “The vet’ll make her better, right?” I said.
Mom looked at me. “I hope so, honey,” she said quietly. “But I honestly don’t know.”
“Of course he will!” I said. “Daisy’s been sick a lot lately, Auggie. And she’s old...”
“But they can fix her,” I said, looking at Via to agree with me, but Via wouldn’t look up at me.
Mom’s lips were trembling. “I think it might be time we say goodbye to Daisy, Auggie. I’m sorry.”
“No!” I said. “We don’t want her to suffer, Auggie,” she said.
The phone rang. Via picked it up, said, “Okay, thanks,” and then hung up.
“The taxi’s outside,” she said, wiping her tears with the backs of her hands.
“Okay, Auggie, open the door for me, sweetie?” said Mom, picking Daisy up very gently like she was a huge droopy baby.
“Please, no, Mommy?” I cried, putting myself in front of the door.
