I Miss My Dog
I picked her out at the humane society in March of 1997. She was about 3-4 months old. A blond puff ball who was shy even at such a young age. I brought her home and she grew to 50 pounds over the next 15 years. She went from high energy, jumped like she had springs in her back feet and always watching me waiting for my next move to an old dog, foggy-eyed and stiff moving. She was a mix breed. Mix of shepard, chow, samoyed and probably golden retriever. Very high energy.
I used to complain about her energy level and how she always watched me. I complained about her alot and I feel so guilty about that. I used to look forward to the day when i wouldn't have a dog so that I could have more freedom. But I did love her and I kept her inside and well fed. I took her to many places and a walk almost every day until she didnt like going for walks anymore. I thought it would be easy once she was gone because I didn't like the responsibility of having a dog.
Much to my surprise once I had her put to sleep I cried like a baby for days. I am still crying after two weeks. I feel so guilty for always complaining. Now she's gone and I miss her so bad. If only I could pat her on the head again and give her once more piece of her favorite lunch meat.
I know I gave her a good life, but I wish I wouldn't have complained so much and saw her as such a pain for so long. I'm not going to let myself get another dog, I don't feel like I deserve it. She's taught me alot about taking others for granted and won't ever do that with animal or person.
I miss my girl :(
