Not Even A Goodbye

I guess you don't really know how much you love someone until they are gone.

This seems so silly, but my family had to put my dog to sleep today. She got out of our ghetto fence and wandered to 129th and got hit by a car. She was severly injured and couldn't recognize my Dad, or anyone else for that matter. She had multiple seizures and was in so much pain that they had to put her to sleep. I've cried 3 times. The first when my brother called to tell me, the second when my Mom called to tell me details and the third, right this very moment.
I don't even really like dogs, but she grew on me. We've had her since I was in 7th grade I think. I always played with her when no one else would. She knew exactly what I wanted when I told her to go get her toy. Its funny how things can creep into your life and you don't even realize that you care so much about them.

Man I'm such a bleeding heart.

I'll put a picture up as soon as I can scan it.
