Then she just kind of plopped down, and Mom went over and tried to pick her up, and whatever, she was obviously hurting. She bit Mom.”
“What?” I said. “When Mom tried to touch her stomach, Daisy bit her hand,” Via explained.
“Daisy never bites anybody!” I answered. “She wasn’t herself,” said Justin. “She was obviously in pain.”
“Daddy was right,” said Via. “We shouldn’t have let her get this bad.”
“What do you mean?” I said. “He knew she was sick?” “Auggie, Mom’s taken her to the vet like three times in the last two months.
She’s been throwing up left and right. Haven’t you noticed?”
“But I didn’t know she was sick!” Via didn’t say anything, but she put her arm around my shoulders and pulled me closer to her.
I started to cry again. “I’m sorry, Auggie,” she said softly.
“I’m really sorry about everything, okay? You forgive me? You know how much I love you, right?”
I nodded. Somehow that fight didn’t matter much now. “Was Mommy bleeding?” I asked.
“It was just a nip,” said Via. “Right there.” She pointed to the bottom of her thumb to show me exactly where Daisy had bitten Mom.
“Did it hurt her?” “Mommy’s okay, Auggie. She’s fine.” Mom and Dad came home two hours later.
