I remember

I remember sitting in the bus that day. All I could think was Maybe they didn’t. 

Maybe he got better and they didn’t do it.


But no


I remember

I remember sitting at the kitchen table with my younger sister. We both kept sneaking glances at the dog crate in the corner. He had been spending more time in our parents room. 

Maybe he got better and they didn’t do it.


But no


I remember

I remember my sister asking “Where is he?”

“Girls, he was really sick” our mom whispered


I remember

Us crying softly

When I was in 3rd grade my dog, Snuggles, had kidney failure. When I was in 4th grade my parents made the decision to put him down. I know now that it was for the best.
