It's been a long time since we've been to the Bay for a cappuccino since one of us has to dog-sit little Rover at all times as he nears the end of his fifteen long and happy years at "Riverbend".
He started to get the wobbles a few months ago when we took him to the vet who confirmed what we already knew: there is no cure for old age. Since then he's had more frequent attacks during which he loses consciousness, and involuntarily empties his bladder and bowel.
While he still keeps recovering to his former self and enjoys his food, we don't want to "play God" and will clean up and watch over him. When his time comes, we hope to have repaid him for all his love and loyalty.
Only then will we give the Coffee Club another run for their money by ordering two "homemade" cappuccinos in that other little coffee shop.
