John Steinbeck I think? I really don’t remember, but I know it’s true. There’s always some sort of heartbreak in it. I mean you bring home this little baby right? You give it a name, you get up every two hours to take it to the bathroom, clean it up when you forget to take it out, and watch it grow. Eventually, it develops its own personality and you give it nicknames. You take it to the park, you love it, you know? It does things to piss you off too. Like pissing in the house, biting your toes for no reason at all, eating unattended plates, and getting mud all over your couch while it just sits there like, “Hey! Yeah I did this! Now you're gonna clean this up?” as you clean the mess, swearing and grunting. These are all things my dog, Lily, did. She was a little West Highland Terrier with white fur, little bead eyes, and stains around the mouth, the stereotypical white person's lap dog, She had a personality to her, and no, not the “Oh she watches tv with us,” thing that ail dog owners claim. She was sorta mean, she wouldn't bark or bite you, no, but she would glare at you, even sigh when you tried to talk to her. The best way I can describe her was like that one coworker that would say “I'm just way too good for this place,” then refuse to roll silverware. Lily was also spoiled beyond belief by my mom. She would get her faux diamond collars, paint her nails, and despite my protest, whole rotisserie chickens. Meanwhile, my mom wouldn’t spend a dime on my tuition, but this dog was going abroad for her art history degree. Was there resentment? Yes. yes I resented a dog that got more love than me. So with all the sighs, toe biting, and goddamn rotisserie chickens, we didn't get along. I remember the night I got the call. It was March 2nd, 2023, and it was a horrible night. Winter was making its desperate last push against Spring, as it always does in Wyoming. Hard shinny ice was still embedded into the road making travel both annoying and dangerous—if you didn't pay attention in some areas you could end up as a road marker. The wind made the ice more intimidating. Wind at this time of year seems extra vindictive. It hates anything that's not moving at the same speed. Like a New Yorker in a rush, it will push over small school kids, grandmas, and even oilmen breaking all their tailbones. All while whistling, being loud, and screaming, “get out the way.” The full moon silently observed and seemed to give a blue hue to the ice and the feeling of a CdLtlonlite.'iatu.'u. XXXI �gothic mystery to the whistling of the wind, making every move a little slower and sadder, it's nights like this that make you realize we are one shut down highway from being the frontier again. I was at the gym, trying my hardest to lose weight and forget the hetlscape outside, while also trying to put off editing my English midterm. I'd get it done, it might be close to the deadline but I’d get it done. I was only in there for about twenty minutes before I got the call from my dad. 1 was expecting an update, my mom had taken Lily to the late night vet about an hour before. She had fed Lily a potato, she was choking on it. This was the third time this had happened. I always told my mom she could avoid this by one, not feeding the dog potatoes, and two, actually cutting the food into swallowable pieces. I expected my dad to call and tell me that they made it home and that the vet gave her the same two guidelines 1 gave her, with a similar tone of annoyance. "Hey dad. let me guess, don't feed the dog potatoes?" Who would have thought? “No, Ty, No.” He was worried, almost crying. My dad loved that dog the same way my mom did but he wouldn't react like this unless it was bad. “Your mom, uh, oh my God, Ty. Your mom is up at the vet with Lily, and I guess it's—" He started crying the way all strong men cry, trying his best to hold it together before his stoicism left, "I uh, I guess it's really bad.” "Wait, wait hold on, what’s wrong with her?" I asked slowly, trying to soothe him. He let out a deep breath regaining his composure enough to speak. "They can't get the potato out. They don't have the um, the scope arm thingy." Here was my statue of a dad, a guy who no matter what stood stoically and logically in front of any problem, now blubbering and struggling to breath. "Dad, do you need me horn—” “She needs someone up there with her, Ty. 1,1 can’t Ty. I guess Lily has tubes in her and—” His efforts to keep some resemblance of strength collapsed. "I can't see her like that, Ty! I'm not strong enough, I just can’t." He said this last part in a guttural sob. I tried my best to comfort him. I got the address, it was only two minutes away from the gym. I was pissed off, at my mom for feeding the dog a goddamn potato, my dad for not “manning up" like he always told me too, and at the fucking dog for taking up more attention in both their worlds. But I loved my mom so 1 went to console her. I pulled up to the overnight vet. It was a small place in a strip mall meant for emergencies, not general care. I got out of the car feeling the harsh XXXII Exfiession Magazine. �Li£^ push of the wind telling me to get a move on, while trying to negotiate with the ice under my feet to give me some traction. I opened the door to the vet, and I was immediately greeted with the dominant smell of rubber and antiseptic. The place had a minimalist design, white walls with one solitary decoration of a picture with a family laughing at a park with their dog—it was the perfect corporate atmosphere. However, the human screams of grief overpowered the soulless building. My mother was sitting with her head in her hands. Hair messy and tangled with reading glasses somewhere in the jumble, skin flush red with pain and anguish, and wearing plaid pajamas with New Balance sneakers. I could feel the d in the air touch my skin. I approached my mom and she lunged at me for an embrace. When her mom died it was a simple inconvenience, a sad thing she had to move on from, but the dog was a tragedy. “Day, day wan’ to,” she sputtered out and let out another cry that sounded more like a scream. Between the quick breaths and tears she finally spoke. “I fed her a potato and it was too big. I thought she would swallow it, but it's stuck in her throat.” She barely pushed out. “Then why don't they get it out? Can’t they just reach in and grab it?" I asked, frustrated. Before she could give an answer the door to the operating room opened. There standing in the doorway was a man six feet four inches tall with a heavily muscled build barely contained in gray scrubs. Resting on his face was a peppered beard and a look of exhaustion and annoyance. This “vet” looked like the next ladder champ for the WWE. His ring name was probably something like “The Neuter.” In his deep voice he introduced himself and invited me into the operating room to update me on the situation. "The problem is, we can't get the potato. It's too far down, I’m sorry, what's it's name again?” He asked me. “Lily.” I told him. "Right, right. Well, the problem is this. It's too far down into her throat so we can't get it by hand or do the ol’ patting on the back trick for babies. Now if we had an endocrine scope we could. It’s basically this little camera with a hook on it, but the thing is,” he was trying to explain the complicated process to me, but my attention drifted to the scene behind him. On her back with legs sprawled out was Lily. Her stomach poked out in bloat, on a regular sized dog it would look normal, but for Lily’s size it seemed like she would pop open. Common for dogs choking to death I hear. They somehow got a breathing tube down her throat, which was powered by a system of pumps and screens 64tk EditLonLLU'tatn'te XXXIII �U£y that all clicked and beeped a tone of reality. I didn't feel anyoned anymore, I felt what best could be described as sudden sobriety. My mom’s dog was dying in the most horrific way possible. "Even if we did have one I don't think we could get it.” “I'm sorry what?” 1 asked him. "I said, even if we did have a scope to get it out I don’t think it would matter.” “What, why? Is it just too undercooked or what? What is it?” “Look, I think you know how much your mom loves this dog. She loves her so much that this is the third time we’ve had to do this. The reason we can't just get it out is because of how many times we, 1, have had to do this. Every time that dog chokes on something it creates some scar tissue, every time she recovers that hole gets smaller and smaller. This might be the time where it doesn't come out.” “I get what you're saying. I’ll scold her more later, but she loves this dog. There aren’t any other scopes in town we could take her to?” He put his hand up to his beard to think for a moment. I always hated that dog, but 1 loved my mom way more, and 1 couldn’t see her like this. “There's one in Wheatland, 1 can call ahead and have them ready for you. You're gonna have to drive smoothly so she doesn't wake up. That's going to be hard considering the wind, but it’s possible. If she wakes up she will choke to death.” "Ok, let's do that. I'll speed down there, be the hero, and i’ll scold her for your sake and mine.” His face soured when I said this. “Don't risk your life over a dog, be careful of the wind and ice. Also, prepare yourself for the possibility that this dog dies on the way there. You’re going to have to tell your mom, and comfort her.” I took a beat to think about this. This dog was still getting better treatment than me and my mom was going to keep spoiling her to death, literally. I thought in the moment that I was trying to prove myself. Trying to prove to my mom that I loved her, that she should love me more, and that this dog was too spoiled. The truth was I just wanted to get back at the two of them for the emotional neglect inflicted. I told my mom the plan, and we got ready. We took my mom’s car, a 2020 mercedes that she got on my 16th birthday. This dog's ambulance was a goddamn mercedes. My mom sat in the back to watch over Lily, and we were off. Driving 20 miles over the speed limit we were on track to make good time. Somehow, on the highway there seemed to be no ice, and the wind suddenly XXXIV Exp'usslon. Magazine �stopped, all that remained was the glow of the moon. Even God was going to spoil this dog. We drove in complete silence as to not wake the dog which gave me time to think. My whole life I was always second place in my mom’s eyes. My older sister, my aunt, my dad, and Lily. She loved me, sure, but it was always a second class kind of love. She was absent at my plays and concerts, missed dentist appointments, and even Christmas. The more and more I thought about it, it became clear I was doing this out of spite. When we got to the new vet, an hour early, we rushed Lily in and they got to work. Despite staying at that vet until 3 in the morning, they couldn't get it out. Still determined, I asked if there was anywhere else that could. They gave us a referral to a place in Denver. We held her overnight, I emailed all my professors that I would be missing class, and we found a Super 8.1 had chocolate milk for dinner. We drove all the way to Denver with a much healthier dog but one that still needed help. We found a vet that could do an operation. It would be $8,000, something my mom couldn't afford. Defeated, we got a hotel and weighed our options. My mom said that she wasn't killing her baby and she didn't. The morning after, we got a call from my aunt who was frantically looking for a scope to get this fuckin’ potato out, she had found one. It was at a vet a block away from our house, so we rushed back. Lily looked at me differently on the way back to Casper. It wasn't an annoyed look, it was one of love and thanks, gratitude. At least that’s what I like to think. When we dropped her off to the new place my mom seemed genuinely thankful. She said she loved me, and she meant it. She called me her hero. I woke up the next day, after getting much needed sleep and went to school. I did feel like a hero for this, I’m sorry. I bragged to everyone how good of a son I was. I saved the family pet. I got a call at lunch from my sister. It wasn't a potato, but an infection in her throat. She was slowly being poisoned to death. No scope could get that out. That dog died in my arms because my mom couldn't hold her when she had to be put down. She felt heavy. A year later I still see Lily's paw prints in the backyard, I find hidden toys and old diamond collars. I miss her. I realize now that all the late nights taking her out, cleaning up after her, getting her collars and treats, was how I loved her. All the high pitched barks and toe bites were her way of saying she loved me. 6^tii CdUhinLUi'iatM.'ii XXXV �litif brought home a tragedy, a six year long, slow burning, tragedy that I didn't appreciate enough. My mom still acts the same. I'm still second. We did find some improvement in our relationship from the whole experience. She does appreciate what I did, but you can’t break habits like her’s. Two weeks after Lily passed my mom sent me a text: It was a picture of a dog that looked like Lily, same breed, appearance, and build, but a puppy. She told me she was picking up Sophie, her new tragedy, in a month. XXXVI Exf'tessian Magazine � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.
