IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL SUNDAY MORNING (2/24/02)

IT WAS LIKE ANY OTHER DAY BUT SUDDENLY AT ABOUT 1:00

IN THE AFTERNOON I HEAR MY LITTLE BROTHER SCREAMING

AND MY DAD YELLING.

I LOOK OUT THE WINDOW AND MY DAD’S HANDING MY BROTHER

OUR DOG BROWNY WHICH HE WAS A VERY SMALL DOG HE HAD

GOTTEN STRANGLED BY A ROTTWEILER FROM NEXT DOOR.

ME AND MY MOM WERE LOOKING FOR A ANIMAL HOSPITAL BUT

TWO OF THEM WERE CLOSED SO AN HOUR LATER WE FINALLY

FOUND A HOSPITAL.

BUT WHEN WE GOT THERE I HAD A FEELING HE

WASN’T GOING TO MAKE IT.

THE DOCTOR PUT US IN A ROOM AND SAID HIS HEART WASN’T

BEATING AND THAT HE WASN’T BREATHING ON HIS OWN.

SO SHE ASKED US IF WE WANTED THEM TO DO C.P.R ON HIM,

WE SAID YEAH JUST DO SOMETHING.

FIVE MINUTES LATER SHE CAME AND JUST SAID “IM SORRY”

THEY WEREN’T ABLE TO SAVE HIM AND I JUST

BROKE DOWN AND CRIED.

SHE SAID HIS BRAIN WASN’T FUNCTIONING ANYMORE,

MY MOM DIDN’T WANT TO BRING HIM HOME BECAUSE OF MY

LITTLE BROTHERS.

SO WE JUST GOT HIM CREMATED.

SO NOW WE GOT A NEW DOG SO THE HOUSE

WOULDN’T BE SO EMPTY.

BUT I STILL MISS MY DOG BROWNY

AND I ALWAYS WILL.

IN LOVING MEMORY OF BROWNY

“WELL ALWAYS LOVE YOU BABY”

YOUR BEST FRIEND
