Tiffany would have been the one dog I have known my whole life really. I had her since i was only 3 years old, and now at the age of 14 i have grown attached to her, only for her to pass away. It was a couple of months ago, we took her into the vet’s to get her put to sleep, and that day will be the one day I will never forget for the rest of my life. She looked into my eyes as she died, and thats the one thing that will be plastered in my mind forever.
She was like a sister to me, I always called her sissy, even on the day we took her to the vet I kept telling her, “Sissy, your gonna make it home, and we’ll give you pizza” *which was her favorite food* But sadly she didn’t make it home that night. She was sisters with me and my now 11 year old dog shelby, we were the three best of buds
and we were inseparable.
Shelby even felt the loss after it had happened, she moped around the house as I did, it was empty without her around to cheer everyone up and make everyone happy. She was the leader of Shelby and our other dog, Abby, and those two seemed to be nothing without her. They didn’t even bark for a while, as though waiting for Tiffany to bark first to get them going. She was the leader, and after that they were lost. Abby lost a lot of her hyperness for a while, and she would run to the door whenever my parents came home from work hoping they brought home tiffany, just knowing that the dogs were just as sad as me made it even worse.
The worst thing about it, was she was so happy, she tried to act as though nothing was wrong. She had a growing cancer though, and it was causing her pain by her constant shaking, everyone knew it wouldn’t be fair to keep it alive, the vet even said she would be lucky to make it another few weeks. But even on the day we took her there she wagged her tail and got all excited to go in the car, only to find out that would be her last car ride.
Although, that wouldn’t be her last time with us. I know she’s still hanging out with me, I know she still cares, and I know one things for sure, she will never be forgotten. She remains in my heart, and will forever remind me just how hard it is to loose my best friend and loyal companion.
I now have Shelby left at least, but she is only half a year younger than Tiffany, and she is growing older with each day. Hopefully I will have her here for a long time to come, and hopefully our new puppy will be at least half as good as Tiffany was.
With lots of love,
