It had to be another dream, right? But as she stirred, she could still feel painful aches in both forelegs, throbbing along with her heartbeat. Her tail hurt even more—that operation had been more recent. And she hadn’t been slated for any implants there. What was worse, it looked like most of her tail had been trimmed back. There was barely enough fur left to cover her flesh, and it looked like it was only what had grown in since the operation. Guess I shouldn’t be too surprised. Lots of operations need you to lose your hair.
