Personal Narrative: My Dog's Death
Although there are many challenges that people go through, my biggest one was when my dog died. It was an alluring summer day and my mom, sister, and I had been woken by the sound of my three legged dog who had a tumor on her leg. At first we called the vet and they told us we needed to bring her in so they could check her out. After we got dressed we got dressed and put a dog crate in the back of my mom’s car we pressed off to the vet in nashville. After what seemed like forever we had finally made it to the vet. As we rushed her inside, I looked at her and you could just see how sad she looked. When we got her checked into the vet we sat down and waited in dead silence, until the assistant came and told us the vet was ready. We

    Last night when I let the dogs back in from their evening outing in the back yard, Butters, my one and a half year old Pekingese darling, was a terrifying no show. After frantically calling and searching, we finally found her, lying near the house, unable to get up on her own. She was nearly unresponsive and covered in bloody diarrhea and drool, a limp, pitiful little “rag” in my arms. We called the emergency number for Dr. Childers, a simply wonderful man who has patiently dealt with more doggie emergencies of mine than I care to count. He met us there within half an hour. Diagnosis: hemorrhagic gastroenteritis, a terribly dangerous condition unless early and aggressive treatment is received. She got there just in time, he said, and…

    I knelt beside her, my hand automatically reaching to scratch behind her left ear, which was her sweet spot. Just the day before, she was running around, jumping and playing with the other dogs. She had been barking at a squirrel less than an hour before my dad returned, and then she had laid down and went to sleep. She had been in one of her favorite places in the world, Ya Ha Tinda.…

    The first step of getting my dog began we went to the rescue to take dogs out on walks which I really wanted to do. While we were there I saw on a flyer, my soon to be dog without knowing it, a dog as cute as a baby bunny. It turns out, I was not old enough to walk the dogs, which was like emotionally being hit by a truck. I had to just walk while my mom walked the dogs, which was okay. My mom got more involved with the rescue, and one day while I was at school she was washing dogs, and the dog from the flyer was scared and ducked…

    I'm so nervous and worried but they called us into the room to get her ready for the surgery. My little baby girl didn't know what was about to happen. My heart was falling apart to see her so small and having to experience this. They finally take her in so I tell her how much I love her and cry. After seven hours of waiting, they call me and tell me that the surgery was over and I could go in to intensive care to see her. That moment was the worst seeing her in so much pain. She passed out on me twice and doctors were so concerned of her reaction. Being there for a month wondering if she was going to make it or not is something I don't wish no one will ever have to go through. But my little angel, my warrior, fought so hard, she overcame it and we left the hospital on January 29th making our way back to El Paso,…

    Some nights I dream about Michael. He’s coming home from college for christmas break and he’s brought a girl with him. Our family is sitting at the dinner table and he’s giving my sister’s new boyfriend a hard time. He’s sitting in the audience, whooping and hollering as I walk across the stage and receive my diploma. Other times, he’s standing in a waiting room, introducing my sisters and me to his little girl. I dream about all of the moments my family and I never got to have with him and my heart breaks every single time. Michael has been gone for almost 16 years and yet he is still with me every day. I dream about him and what could have been; what should have been. Michael’s death teaches me something new almost every day.

    The loss of a pet is never easy; to me he was part of my family, my third hair kid. I could not even consider replacing that dog, none would be able to live up to the greatness that he was. Oh, how I loved that dog, that Toby! I didn’t need to go through that kind of pain again. The thing is though, he taught me so many things and was such a wonderful dog, he rescued me. He taught me how to love a dog. In my mind I heard him saying in his doggy voice” you need a dog, Mom. Go get her mom. Find her, she needs you, save her!” I was ready and I did. Toby gave me…
