Today, I say goodbye to my beloved dog of nearly 10 years. I am deeply saddened by this but it’s just another one of life’s lessons. My family received her as a gift from a friend of my dad’s. She was just a little pup that loved to play in the grass. She grew up to be a tough mean dog that protected our house and family. I would dare not let anyone touch her because she can sense fear and will often bite but when the right person comes along she will let down her guard and make friends. I had a lot of fun memories with her and our family will forever miss her.
