Loss

I am not going to work today. I have been up all night sick to my stomach. Called my mom to tell her I wasn't going so she would know where I was and she told me that the family dog, who has been sick for a while, died some time in the night. I know it is probably for the best and that he might have suffered if he had lived longer. But I guess I am selfish and I wasn't ready to let him go yet. This is the first pet I have ever lost and it feels worse than I thought it would. He was a good dog and we'll all miss him. I loved you, Dummy.
