Laying In the Grass Talking to Scooty -I'm Not Sure How Many More Times I will Get to Do This

This is the first time I have seen Scooty the Red Necked Wallaby for about two weeks due to unfortunate circumstances.
At 11 years old, having survived many traumas, going slowly blind, he has cloudy eyes, his coat lacks luster, he is looking skinny, and has lost his aloof reserve obviously enjoying what love he receives, in what is likely to be his last year in this particular meat suit.
