Rehab

What is rehab?  I ask this question because I'm not sure I understand the new-aged concept of rehab.  My impression was that rehab was a place where drug abusers went to forcibly become clean of their addictions.  The visual I have in my head is one of a hospital-gown donning junkie sweating it out on a cot in a locked room.  From what I understand of rehab some instances of are not necessarily voluntary, sometimes court ordered, but for the most part rehab is not something I would categorize as pleasant.

Furry Friday: Stoic

Denture Your Dog

Stoic was the word the veterinarian used for Riley.  Apparently the bump that had suddenly appeared under his right eye was what we feared.  He had an abscess due to a cracked tooth.  While she poked and prodded around in his mouth he surprisingly maintained his cool-as-a-cucumber composure thus prompting the one word compliment.  Although, while having his temperature taken he hid his head in the crook of my elbow like an ostrich burying its head in the sand.  My heart ached for the little guy.
