The Animal is tired - Robin Hobb

I reflect, sheepishly, that it is the only animal I have ever treated this way. Would I have fed a beloved dog stimulants to keep it working when it needed sleep? Never. Would I have dosed a cat with a mild poisoning of alcohol to relax it among strangers? Of course not.

But this one animal received no mercy from me. And I regret that now.

And so we enter our 70th year together. Me, and the animal I live inside.

Muista pitää huolta kaikista eläimistä.
