Tiny Tim & Honey by Misty

April 20 1996 & November 5 1990

Gerbil and Dog

I had TinyTim for 3 years.

He was a gerbil.

I loved him alot and

I would even take him out for walks

when it was nice out

and I let him run around

in a certain area of our house.

Then one day when I came home from school

I went to his cage to play with him and

take him out for a walk and he wasn't there.

I screamed so loud and asked

where he was

and my mom said he had died.

I was so sad that I cried and cried

for 4 hours straight.

I wouldn't talk to anyone for that whole night.

I didn't eat.

I didn't talk on the phone to any of my friends.

When my friend came over

I wouldn't let her in my room.

I was so sad.

I loved him very much!

Honey was a puppy.

I got him from my uncle

for my birthday when I was 3.

We couldn't keep him at my house though

so I had to keep him at my dad's house

and play with him when I came to visit my dad.

Then a couple years later

my dad told me Honey ran away.

I cried a lot then too for a very long time

because that was my first pet that I have ever had!

I was only 3.

Then my dad said we would find him and

when we went on walks and I saw a white dog

a smile would come on my face and

I would run up to the dog and pet it because

I would always think it was Honey.

It wasn't though and I know that.

My dad just told me about a month ago

that my puppy honey didn't run away

and he didn't give it away

Honey shook himself to death.

My dad said he had a cancer or something and was real sick

and just shook and shook and then died.

When he told me that I didn't cry

but when he dropped me off at my

house I ran in my room locked the door and cried!

I love animals and they meant a lot to me.
