It’s hard losing a dog you love. I would know since I just lost my dog Aiwa. My family and I have had her for 10 years and I grew up with her by my side. All it took was one night and she was gone. I cry thinking that I will never see her again. Looking at her pictures has become the hardest thing to do. When it first happened I didn’t know what to do except blame god, and I did. I felt like 10 years wasn’t nearly enough and I was mad that god didn’t wait longer before taking her. Then I remembered the times when god could have taken her way before he did. She got sick and had to have surgery a couple of times and I’m just thankful that he didn’t take her then. I miss my baby girl so much.
I wish I could tell her that I miss her so much and that I love her with all my heart. We all do dad, mom, grandma, and especially me. Before she died she was sick and old and just couldn’t take it. I feel so guilty knowing that I could have given her so much more attention during our last week together. I remember thinking that I would wait after she wasn’t sick anymore and then I would play with her and do everything I did when she wasn’t sick. I was wrong to wait, I never got that chance. For all you who have a chance don’t ever wait for that special four-legged friend
of yours to get better.
When they get sick give them all your love even if it’s a simple little cold, which is what took my baby away.A little message to Aiwa… Aiwa I love you so much I’m so sorry I didn’t spend that much time with you before you left us. But think of all the time that I always told you that I loved you and played with and just patted your head. Dad misses you a lot and so do mom and everyone else. We all miss you and love you and will never ever forget you.
Sweetest kisses and hugs to you,
| Aiwa |
