the fallowing is a letter wrote 15 years ago on the passing of my old dog duke++++ one morning dad said wanna go for a ride? wanna go to the doctor? i was
really excited hoping the doctor would give me a stronger pill to make
the hurt go away.i started barking but it left me out of breath.i panted
and could hear my voice rasping as i tried to suck in those beautiful
smells in the air hard as i tried,i could not get enough air to breath.
dad told me sternly. settle down duke" which i tried to do as i sat in
his lap. we arrived at the doctors and wear
walking to a room with stainless steel table i walk back and forth from
mam and ad trying to tell them i was alright not to worry was just
having trouble getting my breath.i just wished this problem would go away
so i could be normal again. i was being a good boy with all my
will.avoided wetting on the floor. after 15
minutes the doctor lady came in and dad put me up on the table i looked at
him and saw big tears in his eyes that was strange alpha males
are not suppose to cry.well,i trusted that he and the doctor would
help me become better. dad cupped my head in his hand and
reassured me everything would be alright.i knew i would soon be my old self
the
doctor took out another long needle.problem used to take out lumps,and
stuck it vary gently in my front paw i began to fell vary vary
sleepy.thank you dad for trying to help me.i took one more breath and
found my tongue falling out of my mouth and could not pull it back in!i
tried to follow dads movements but my eyes would not focus and things
started to turn red and then glow dark i was beginning to panic and i tried
to run but my body would not move. i could not breath. i became vary
scared and confused. i felt dads hand stroking my face and could hear my
family crying but those sounds wear beginning to fade
now.
i began to feel totally inside my self and alone for the first time
in my life.something isn't right but the pain is going away. just like dad
said it would dad continued to stroke my face but
those feelings wear becoming lost too. vary far off in a distance i heard
my family say we will always love you duke." each one reach out their
hand to pat my head. even though i could not move.that made me fell good so
i decided to go to sleep.but,not before i heard the joyous barking of my
bothers and sisters coming from long way away. before i joined my litter
mates my last thought was,i will always love all of you too!it was
finally over.
