Our beloved dog Wicket is very sick and we had to rush her to the emergency animal hospital. Wicket has been a part of our family for over 12 years - we got her as a puppy and she&rsquo;s always had a special bond with our son, who was just a little kid when we first brought her home. She&rsquo;s had some health issues in the past, like kidney stones, but this time it seems more serious. The vet says she has a kidney stone that&rsquo;s blocking the normal function of her kidney, and she may need surgery to try and save her. My wife and daughter just took her in, and we&rsquo;re all really worried and hoping for the best. I decided to document this hard moment, not just to share an update, but also to try and gather some good vibes from the universe to help Wicket pull through. This dog means the world to us, so we&rsquo;re just crossing our fingers and praying that the surgery is successful and she can come back home safely.</p>
