Like everybody, she’s in over her head
I called my mother tonight to get a coupon code to order my makeup (but it was expired) and I ended up finding out that they think they found my dog.
Ace has been missing for 3 weeks tomorrow. He ran away and never came back which is unusual. He always comes back. We put up posters, have an ad in the newspaper, two ads on pet websites and my mom drives around everyday. There had been some sightings of a dog like him last week close to the house but we hadn't been able to actually find him. The police called today saying that they found a dog in the neighborhood near us (it's connected by woods) in a small pond and it seems like it is him and he had been dead for a few days. There was a collar on the dog with a tag like his but i guess they couldn't get to it? I don't really know. They don't know what happened. Whether he got hit and died right away or was hurt and drowned or collapsed. Maybe we'll find out more later. I really dont' know all i know is that he's gone.
I just feel so empty. We could have found him last week or before. He was my puppy. I loved him so much. He took up the whole bed and got my clothes full of hair and sat in the middle of the room when we were trying to open our christmas presents and knocked you over when you came in the door but knowing that he was there to greet me the second i got home made me so incredibly happy. He would run to the door because you were there. He was the first person i went to when i was having a bad day and the first person i said hello to when i walked in the door. Yeah, he was "just a dog" but he listened. He was my dog. He could make you feel better just by coming over and showing he cared or by giving him a big hug. All i want to do is cry. I couldn't stand to see dogs just knowing he was missing i don't know what to do now. Maybe you don't understand if you've never had a pet but they aren't just animals. They are friends. Comforters. Steadiness in your life. You love them more than you love people. They are non-judgmental they just love you. He was ever-present in my life for the past 10 years. I helped train him, i played with him, i ran with him, he was with me through both of my knees staying by my side the entire time comforting. All of our injuries, all of our hurts, all of our joys, everything he was there. The babies adored him. How do you explain to a 2 year old that his dog is gone? They know my mom by Grandma Ace. Ryan calls our house "Ace House" That's all he knows. How do you explain to them that he is gone forever? I can't even handle it myself and I'm 20 years old. He was 10. He need medication to breathe. He was old. He should have died at home with all of us around him knowing that we loved him. That was the way it was supposed to be.
Not like this.
