German Shepherd
When I was 5 years old my mom told me that we were
going to go look at some puppies.
I was kind of scared because I never had a puppy.
We went to look at some at this ladies house and I pointed this
one female out to my mom. We took her home with us and she
automatically became part of the family.
Right down to the walks in the park in the morning to the
evening television and bath.
One major thing I recall is when my mom would draw my bath water
and the Sheba would jump in before I ever got a chance.
As I started to get older so did she,we grew together except she
grew a little faster than I did. I just started college a couple of
years ago and she came with(I rented a house that she so she could
be with me). She greeted me every night I came home from school,
and when I’d have a problem with homework she’d always seem
to look at the paper I was writing and try to figure it out for me. Ha.
It is so hard for me to write this because she just passed away.
It all started Saturday March,5.
She woke me up early like always so we could go set out
by the lake and watch the sunrise. She raced me down there like
always and we set down together,and she put her head on my lap.
You see this was nothing unusual because she always did this.
Well then she closed her eyes. I said wake up sleepy head your
the one that was in such a hurry to get down here only she
didn’t open her eyes back up. I knew then that she had left me.
I stayed down there for awhile crying and asking God why.
Come to find out she was in normal condition except she was just old.
After all I guess she was 15 years old. It was her time to go.
I still have been going down to the lake and it’s kind of nice
because it seems when I watch that sun come up that
her face appears in it and tells me everything will get better.
I hope so.
I LOVE YOU SHEBA!!!!
