Sweet little Lala hadn’t been acting like herself lately. Normally full of energy, always running around and playing with her toys, she had suddenly become quiet and withdrawn. Her eyes looked tired, and she wasn’t eating like she usually did. Dad noticed right away—something was wrong. His heart ached with worry as he gently picked her up and decided it was time to take her to the hospital for a full examination.
The car ride was silent, except for the soft hum of the engine and Lala’s faint breathing. She clung to Dad’s shirt, finding comfort in his arms. He whispered softly to her, “Don’t worry, sweet girl. We’ll find out what’s going on. I promise.” Dad’s concern was written all over his face, and he couldn’t help but imagine every possible cause.
Once at the animal hospital, the staff quickly took Lala in for a check-up. They were gentle and kind, carefully checking her temperature, heart rate, and running several tests. Dad sat nervously in the waiting room, holding onto Lala’s favorite blanket. Every minute felt like an hour.
Finally, the vet returned with some answers. Lala had a mild infection that was making her feel unwell—thankfully, it wasn’t serious, and they had caught it early. With a proper course of medicine, rest, and a little extra love, she would be back to her playful self in no time.
Relief washed over Dad’s face as he scooped Lala back into his arms. He thanked the vet and the team, grateful that his little one was going to be okay. Back home, he set up a cozy resting spot with her favorite toys, soft blankets, and a warm meal waiting.
That night, as Lala curled up beside Dad, her little eyes finally showed peace again. She knew she was safe, cared for, and deeply loved. And Dad knew that no matter what, he’d always do whatever it takes to keep his precious girl healthy and happy.
