Pumpkin

Pomeranian

I remember the day I first got her.

It was a rainy miserable day.

Me my dad and mom got to the pet shop. She saw me from the

pet shop window. She began barking and wagging her tail.

I loved her from the minute I saw her.

Yet when we went inside my dad said we should at least look at

the other dogs. We did but it was clear to see Pumpkin had

Already won my heart. So after paying she came home with us.

She became a member of our family right away.

When I’d hurt or was sad. She chase the blues away.

Then came the day we all dread. Pumpkin became sick.

We took her to the vet who diagnosed her as having

multiple problems.

It was time to say good-bye to my friend and companion of 8 years.

I was heart stricken the pain was almost unbearable.

My parents told me to think of the good times.

My dad wrapped her in her favorite blanket.

After a tear filled good-bye and one last lick to my nose.

My dog was carried out the door off to the vet’s for the

very last time.

I still miss her everyday. I want another dog .

Yet my mother say’s she doesn’t want to go through

the pain again.

Plus I feel Pumpkin was the best.
