WHO: Leah and David
WHEN: September 23, 2019; mid-afternoon [slightly forward-dated]
WHERE: The vet clinic area.
WHAT: A little visit with the formerly hairless bear.
RATING: Medium.
It had been quite a while since Leah had made any effort to visit the formerly hairless bear she, Evan and David had rescued several months back. A good part of the avoidance was intentional, much as she didn’t want to admit that. Marigold wasn’t afraid of Ellie’s giant dog, but for some reason, the bear seemed a lot more monstrous. Leah suspected that fear was implanted in her daughter’s head after hearing one of the other kids talking about the “monster bear” in daycare one day. Leah wanted to try and assuage her daughter’s fear, though, and since Brandon was out of commission for a while with his injured arm, Leah had volunteered herself to initiate the introduction. She wanted to talk to David about it first, though. To make sure the bear wasn’t as skittish as she’d been just after the incident with the firecrackers and the bees. She made her way down to the vet clinic, belatedly wondering if she should’ve texted David first to see if he was around. If he wasn’t, it wasn’t a big deal. She’d stop and visit with the bear, continue her walk and come back some other time to talk to David. “Hey, David, are you around?” She called as she entered the clinic. Dogs barked at her, answering her call, but she waited a few moments to hear if any human voices would answer. |
