I Want To Thank You...
Today has been one of the worst of my life...after fifteen years, we had to have our dog, Skippy, put to sleep tonight...He wasn't able to walk and he hadn't eaten anything for two or three days.
It's hard to say goodbye to a pet who has always been a part of your life. I got Skippy when I was in the first grade and he almost made it through my entire educational career...he was always in good spirits for the most part. Except for his bad hips and some of the times when he would bite at people for invading his space...
It's just weird to know that you need to do something...but feeling that what you're doing is cruel in some way...
The place we took him to tonight was nice...and a girl I went to high school with ended up being the person who took care of him...so that was good. I heard a couple of songs on the radio while we were there...the first one that was ironic was You've Got A Friend from James Taylor and the song that was playing while they were giving him the shot was Thank You from Dido. Both of which fit nicely...
I've been upset for the past few hours and I've had the feeling of needing to be sick and I also have a headache...
I'm going to bed now and hopefully things will be calmed down by the morning...
"I want to thank you for giving me the best days of my life..."
