Journaling reads
I'm so sorry, my little darling,
that you have to go through this!
All our care and precautions couldn't
protect you, your little hyperactive
racing dachshund, from harm in
a brief moment. This hurts us just
as much as it does you.

Nevertheless, it's worth looking to the
future with confidence. You had surgery,
are receiving physical therapy, and are
otherwise well cared for—especially with
the best treats and new toys.

Thankfully, you're feeling better
and well on your way to being able
to walk independently again in a
few weeks. We're here for you and
will accompany you on this journey,
my little rascal ♥
