Read the given summary of events, and write a longer story which covers everything described in the summary. The story you write should be longer than the summary you read, but should not repeat itself. The story should be made up of sentences which form a cohesive and logical sequence of events, and should be long enough to fill two or more paragraphs. Do not omit any details which were given by the summary. Make the story such that the summary is an accurate characterization of the paragraphs you write. Adding extra details in your story which are not mentioned in the summary is okay as long as they don't contradict anything in the summary.

[Q]: My long backed dog was suddenly paralyzed one morning. My horrible vet said to just kill him. But, he's almost completely fine now.
[A]: I have a dackel/wiener-dog. I woke up to him paralyzed a month ago (June). I took him to the vet, as one does, and she was just "Put him down. That's not a good life. He'll never get better." since I could not afford the 10k for surgery. Went home, cried about it, thought about it, looked up paralyzed dog forums all night long. It was a pretty bad night. I just felt so goddamn hopeless about everything. The paralysis was very sudden. The night before, he was limping just a little bit when I brought him in after the walk. I thought that he'd stepped on something. The day of, other than not being able to move his back legs, he was happy and fine. Got him on steroids, did crate-rest, did laser treatments. Told "This won't make a difference. He'll get urine scald, he's suffering." My vet really knows how to depress the hell out of me, I might say. Purchased bed wetting pads, barrier spray, he was happy to be home and I was just worried about the future. And, he got better. He's almost completely fine now, no thanks to my shitty vet.


[Q]: I retired five months ago and am as happy as I've ever been. Not only can i do what i want to do, but i spend four days a week with my two year old granddaughter. Things are so good for me now; it's a feeling i have never had before.
[A]: At the age of 63, i can honestly say that i'm as happy as i've ever been. I retired from full time employment at the end march; my sources of income now are my pension , my social security, and my m-turk work. i am living a life now that i have never lived before. i compare my situation, although not totally comparable, but to a prisoner who gets out of jail. for forty years i worked at jobs that i didn't enjoy and/or were low paying, i was doing work that was too difficult for me; was unstable, etc. so when i retired, it was like starting a new life. i thought i'd like my "new life," but the fact is i love it; things are too good to be true. not only don't i have to work anymore, but i get to spend four full days a week with my wonderful 2 year old granddaughter, Kinsley. this is because my wife runs a small day care center right here in our house so Kinsley spends eight full hours here four days a week. I can not express in words how much i love Kinsley. I have one daughter but when she was young i was very distracted with a few problems that involved my job as well as some personal issues. i didn't spend nearly as much time with my daughter as i wish i had when she was very young. Spending all this time with my granddaughter, therefore, is a whole new experience. watching her grow; being amazed as she does new things almost every day...amazing. every grandparent brags about how smart their grandchildren are so i'll do the same...Kinsley is so intelligent that it almost scares me. and she is so happy! and no wonder with loving relatives around her all the time. besides all this, as a person who had suffered from insomnia for many years, the fact that i can now sleep when i want, with no pressure of alarm clocks or whether i got adequate sleep, it is amazing that i have no more of those pressures. i hardly even need an alarm clock. i don't have to worry about whether a job can provide coverage if i want to call in sick. i don't have to worry about driving in bad weather as i had to so often in the winter here in central new york state where we sometimes get pounded with snow storms. i also love listening to my CDs and i recently became a frank sinatra fan; better late than never. and i enjoy the company of my wonderful, supportive wife. so all in all, things are great. i paid 40 years worth of dues and i earned my freedom.


[Q]: Parent goes to backyard cookout during holidays. Parent tasked with watching a child, instead of all of them at once, while drinking a beer, and loses him/herself in the moment. Children too, enjoyed the backyard cookout.
[A]:
I went to a holiday celebration with a backdoor cookout. It was memorable in the sense that it was the first planned outing with my children, who are still toddlers. It's been difficult as a homemaker with my toddlers, especially during the first couple of years. I feel like I sacrificed a lot to personally raise them, and sometimes I still feel ambivalent about my decision to have a family. So to say this was personally memorable, at least to me, might be a bit of an understatement. The part about the holiday party that stood out the most was just sitting in their backyard and drinking a beer straight from the bottle with the sun shining on my face. I was tasked with watching one of my toddlers while my spouse took care of the others. It felt easier with one kid. I think the work multiplies significantly with more children, and I can understand why most parents these days want to stick to one child. Anyway, that moment in the backyard felt relaxing, like something I hadn't experienced in a long time. It was equal parts freedom, and for a moment, it felt like I didn't have any kids at all. I mean, I had one that I was watching at that time, but that fleeting moment felt like a tasty raindrop when you're stranded in a barren hot desert wasteland. My children thoroughly enjoyed the event, despite not really eating the great food. They got to play around with other children that were also there, and they got to see what an actual party with adults seems like. I personally enjoyed it, and wish for more events like that in the future.
