Ghostly Pets: Part 3 of Ghost for Sale

 This is the 3rd part of Ghost for Sale. 12 stories in 12 months Prompt: Cats and Dogs, Word limit: 300      Life started to become normal having Wilber and Stacy around the house. Dave would have long discussions with Wilber. Stacy and Joni became best friends.   Wilber gathered both kids and brought them down to the basement that was now decorated as the game room. "I have two someones I want you to meet, They are very shy and may or may not come in here to see you right now. I didn't want to show them to anyone because some people don't like pets."

She said that I needed to go to ER and make sure I wasn't leaking Spinal Fluid. Since I have a shunt in my head for that purpose that I needed to make sure it was working properly.    So James took me in about 4 on Thursday night which was July 5. I ended up having an X-ray of my Shunt, and an MRI of my brain. It didn't show anything different so that was good i guess. However, if you look behind my right ear you could see something poking through. I didn't know it but I had a plate in my head from one of the many brain surgeries I had in 2016. The plate was used to help with my recovery somehow. I am not sure.  One of the Dr's said that my hardware was s
