My Puppy, I Miss You

by Blusparrow

I was so fast. Everything went on so fast.
You were my second dog. My puppy, not even a year old. One day I wanted you to go downstairs to be with my parents. I gave you a little nudge and you started down the stars. All of the sudden you loose balance and tumble down the stairs. You smack on the tile and don’t move. I screamed and ran down the stairs. I picked you up. You were so stiff, so frozen. We took you to the pet hospital. I knew this wasn’t good. You weren’t responding when I called your name. All you had was a faint heart beat. I cried in my moms arms as they took x- rays. You broke to spinal cords and would never be able to move or go to the bathroom again. We had a choice, either have a dog in constant pain that can’t go to the bathroom or take your pain away. We choose to take your pain away.
I will never forget you. I pushed my memories of you out to try to forget, my mistake. I may have a new dog, but you will always have a place in my heart. I miss you Sophie. My puppy.

    This made me cry. I’m so sorry… one of our old dogs died when we were driving, and he jumped out of the car window and hit a tree stump…
    I know how you feel.. i remember how heartbroken I was.
    I’m sorry, that’s really sad ):

    Very moving, Blusparrow. Pets, no matter the species, deserve just as much love as humans. After all, they are family, too, right? :)

    Poor puppy! I know how sad that can be. It’s different for everyone, so I’m not going to say ‘I know how you feel’. But my sister and I had 4 baby flying squirrels that we raised, and one day the runt, the one we named baby, fell off my shoulder while I was descending some stairs and I didn’t notice. Naturally he started jumping after me and tried to scramble up my leg, but not before he was stepped on. All I heard was the crunch. All I saw was baby’s little fluffy tail twitch… my simpathy friend
