“I understand… I… I think.” Jack said as Roxy wriggled her way onto his lap, tiny tail wagging crazily as she sniffed at his face, and he tilted his head back to avoid getting a mouth full of Pug tongue. “What can I do to help?”
“As her only next of kin at the moment, I am telling you this information so you are informed of how to take care of her upon her release,” he replied, shaking his head at the boy’s silly question as if it should have been obvious.
“She needs balanced, large portion meals, she needs to eat more than normal and it would benefit her if she ate with someone rather than alone so someone could monitor how much she eats. Here at the hospital the nurse’s are now making sure but she will be released from the hospital in a few days after all. Her apartment building has the necessary elements needed for her to move around as I asked you before?”
“Yes!” Jack said, startling Roxy at how firmly he said the word. “She’s moving into my apartment block, on the bottom floor. It, it has easy access and ramps too. Since she’s moving in I’ll be over there when it’s time to eat so I’ll make sure she eats as much as you tell her to, and everything else I can do for her.” he said, clenching his free hand into a fist. “I’m going to do everything I can for her, even go beyond that when I have to.”
