Chavez's dog Balto and Siberian and Alaskan Spitz that I had got him for his birthday stayed at the foot of his bed and never left his side. I sat in a chair by his bed with out any sleep I know that I am still sick with scarlet fever. But my health doesn't  matter until Chavez gets better Doc has been trying to get me to get some rest but I refuse to leave Chavez. I stay there because that is what brothers do for each other. I lay my head down on the side of Chavez's bed and just before I doze off I pray dear god please let Chavez get better. then I pass out from dizziness with my head laying on the side of Chavez's bed I can feel his hand move and Balto touching my cheek with his nose but I didn't wake up. Chavez called John and Doc to move in the other bed so I could rest. Chavez keeps watch over me just like I did for him because that is what brothers do for each other and that is what loyalty means. That is what John Tunstall is teaching us. and that makes those Murphy and Dolan boys so mad because we are close and they are not. Well at least Chavez doesn't know what I had done yesterday when I found him hurt.
