The Nocturnists · Lost & Found with Meghan Rothenberger, MD · 15 Feb 2024 podcast

So good girl Yoshi has the most beautiful brown eyes and the softest velvety ears.

She was our first baby.

Bad dog Wilbur has stocky legs, wiry hair, and a mouth that will consume anything in his path, including a leather couch, curtains, and all of the carefully wrapped presents under our Christmas tree.

I unilaterally made the decision to bring Wilbur into our lives about a month before because I convinced myself that Yoshi needed a friend.

Ever since then, I've caught Yoshi staring at me with a look that says, what were you thinking?

In fact, it's this look that she gives me now as I'm standing in the backyard after Wilbur's great escape.

So I step out of my daze, I run inside, I grab my son out of his high chair, I wrap him in my winter coat, and I hit the sidewalk in my pajamas and slippers, going out and hunt for the dog.

We cover a lot of ground, but the only living soul we encounter is a middle-aged lady with frizzy hair who frantically waved me down to tell me that when her dog was lost in the neighborhood, he was smashed to smithereens by a truck that never stopped.

I smile and I thank her for her very helpful story because that's the kind of person I am.

And then I scooch home in a state of defeat with my cold son in my arms.

And when I get home, I think for a minute, maybe I should just pretend I never adopted Wilbur.

But that's a mean thing to do.

And I'm a nice person.

And I know deep down that if it wasn't for my niceness and my above average work ethic, I would have accomplished very little in this life.

And so I pick up the phone and I call the adoption agency that we got Wilbur from.

And an annoyed sounding woman answers the phone.

I tell her what happens.

And she said, well, you transferred the microchip to your name, right?

And I say, well, I've been so busy.

I'm in the middle of a cycle of IVF.
