NaKya

Today is the last day that I get to spend with my dog. I have cried a lot and I know that it is selfish of me to want to keep her around longer. She is in pain and suffering. She is not eating or going to the bathroom. It is like her whole body has just shut down and all she can do is look at you with those sad brown eyes and all I can do at the moment is cry and pet her little head. I know that it will be better to put her down, but I really do not feel like I have had enough time with her. She is 8, going to be 9 (Feb 13th). My only true complaint with her is all the hair that she would shed, but that is not her fault other than that she has been a wonderful dog!!!

I can still remember the day that G and I went to pick her, he wanted her because she was the big puppy in the corner that no one wanted to play with and that was the same reason that I did not want her. I am really glad that G won that battle, because she is the best pet that I have ever owned. She knew when I was unhappy or when I needed a little nudge. She would come over and put her little head (OK it is huge) on my lap and look at me as if to say that everything is going to be OK.
