Dear Journal,

Bartholomew ran off.

Just when I thought that things couldn't get any worse, I lost my pet.

I decided to bring him outside as I began to work on his new pond again, and I also had the new leash on him because, well, why not?

I was so focused on my work that it wasn't until George came out to check on me that Bartholomew was gone.

I didn't see where he had gone to, and I checked behind every bush in the backyard, but he was nowhere to be found.

A part of me thinks that there is a possibility that he had found the town that's not too far away from here, but he can't survive on his own out there.

At least, if he ran off into a town before this whole surgery mess started, then he would certainly be in trouble.

George told me that it wasn't likely, and he had to bring me inside.

I've been crying for the past few minutes, door to my bedroom locked.

If George has to stay with me, then I'd rather have him stay in the guest bedroom.

When I get the chance, I'll go into town and just check.

But, I know that George won't let me leave this house, considering what we learned earlier today.

I don't know what's going to happen with John and Paul, but at least George is acting like he's sorry.

I know though.

I know that he isn't.

-R.S.
