I WAS WORKING FOR A SCRAP YARD AS A SECRETARY, HIS OLD GUARD DOG PASSED AWAY (WHO I ALSO LOVED!) I WAS SENT TO THE POUND TO GET A ROTTWEILLER, AND THERE SHE WAS, A SKINNY SCARED, 1 YEARS OLD? SWEET GIRL. I PICKED HER, AND SHE SPENT MORE TIME WITH ME THAN SHE DID AS THE NEW GUARD DOG, SO WHEN I WAS READY TO QUIT, THEY LET ME HAVE HER. SHE WAS MY BEST FRIEND, COMPANION, SHE MEANT THE WORLD TO ME!! I MEAN, SHE WAS LIKE A PERSON,
I THINK SHE UNDERSTOOD ME..
ANYWAY, WE SPENT 7 WONDERFUL YEARS TOGETHER! ONE MORNING, I WAS GETTING READY FOR WORK AS USUAL, MY NEIGHBOR CAME OVER FOR COFFEE, AND BROUGHT MY DOG A STEAK BONE, I DON’T KNOW WHY I LET HER HAVE THE BONE, BUT I LEFT FOR WORK SHE WAS OK, OR SO I THOUGHT. I CAME HOME 7 HOURS LATER TO FIND HER ON THE FLOOR SHE COULDN’T MOVE. I WAS FRANTIC-MY NEIGHBOR CAME OVER TO CARRY HER TO MY CAR, I RUSHED HER TO THE VET. THEY THOUGHT SHE WOULD BE OK, TOLD ME TO GO HOME, THEY WOULD X-RAY HER AND CALL ME. WHEN THEY CALLED, IT WAS BAD-I RUSHED BACK TO THE VETS, AND THEY SAID SHE HAD JUST DIED. MY HEART SUNK TO THE GROUND, IT WAS THE MOST HORRIBLE NEWS I EVER HEARD!!!
I FEEL SO RESPONSIBLE, LIKE WHY DID I LET HER HAVE THAT BONE? WHY DIDN’T I STAY HOME FROM WORK THAT DAY? HOW LONG WAS SHE SUFFERING? IT KILLS ME INSIDE, I CAN HARDLY BREATH WHEN I THINK ABOUT IT! I CAN’T EAT-OR SLEEP!I STILL CAN’T BELIEVE SHE’S GONE! I FAILED HER-WHAT WAS SHE THINKING? MY POOR BABY-IT’S MY FAULT, AND I’LL NEVER FORGIVE MYSELF!!I MISS HER AND I WANT HER BACK!
I HARDLY LET HER HAVE A BONE! WHY DID I LET HER THAT DAY? OH MY GOD, PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DEAR GOD, PLEASE LET ME SEE ABBEY AGAIN..
