Jesse: "Reuben? It's 4am. What are you doing awake?"

He whimpered at me.

Jesse: "What's wrong, buddy?"

He came closer and showed me his eye.

Jesse: "Is it sore?"

He nodded. I examined it closely.

Jesse: "It looks like it's a bit swollen. I'll make an appointment to the vet in the..."

Before I could finish, Reuben squealed and hid under the blanket.

Jesse: "Reuben! What's wrong?"

He was whimpering and shaking his head.

Jesse: "Don't be scared. It's just a check-up. I'll be right there with you."

He slowly came out from under the blanket.

Jesse: "I know. How about we take our friends. We can all be there for you."

Reuben nodded his head slowly. He was still very scared. He hated the vet.

Jesse: "I'll call them and make an appointment."

I called the vet and all our friends. It was still very early so we went back to sleep. Well, I went back to sleep.
