Sick Pets and Veterinary Waiting Rooms
Hospital waiting rooms and veterinary waiting rooms provoke interesting comparisons. Perhaps it’s just me who notices this. Or, maybe I’m wrong. If you have a beloved pet—and have been to both—you‘ll understand.
Veterinary Waiting Rooms
Emotions are real and raw
It’s different…
Not one person waiting
Two or three
Eyes well with tears
Big fears
Old, young
Highly strung or placid
Details matter
Passion and care
It’s all in a glance
True love and circumstance
Humans make do
Animalkind can’t
Regardless of how we feel
Whatever we have going on personally
There’s a pause
Our pets matter more.
