"It's okay, baby. Don't worry."<br/><br/>I took a deep breathe as I looked at the rest of his wounds. Well, the ankle could wait a little longer. The rib was more important at the moment. I leaned in and kissed his furry head, stroking his neck carefully.<br/><br/>"I'll have to put you under anesthesia to fix you. I'll be here when you come back. Promise, baby."<br/><br/>I was doing so just as I spoke, and would wait for him to sleep in order to call for help. I knew I couldn't do it all alone. Even if I could... I didn't want to.  As two other people stepped in to help, we started working, while I prayed and begged every divinity out there to keep him alive for me.
