Well, today, at around 7pm-ish, Honey died.
I had just decided not to go home today, because I'd only have a few hours, and it'd be a waste of gas we could hardly afford, when I'll be there after school tomorrow, anyway. It was fine with my mom, she thought it was completely reasonable. So I went back to playing Ragnarok with Jass, happily. 20-30 minutes later, I get a call from Josh, telling me that something is wrong with honey, and my mom is crying in the background "She's gone." But she wasn't dead yet, so we were going to take her a vet, not that it would do much, but it'd make us feel better. We knew she would be dying soon, if not from one of the many things wrong with her, then from old age. She was over 14 years old...They came and picked me up and we started driving to the vet in Chuluota...Honey died in my arms...She looked up at me once, when I first got her in my arms, and after that just kind of stopped moving...I'm really glad it wasn't in some horrible way though, and that she didn't feel any pain. She was even playful before suddenly just not looking good. We went home and buried her in a nice place in the yard, and put rocks in a little pattern on top it. After that it started storming really hard, so we all went inside...Josh was playing a videogame, and I guess I fell asleep next to him, because I definitely don't remember just sitting and watching him play for two hours, and when I woke up mom was telling me we needed to get going. It's gonna be really weird without her being there. Just laying on the couch felt weird, knowing that she wasn't in one of our lap's, or laying with us, like she always was. We need to get another little dog...Honey was what my mom put all her affection into when no one else was around...my dad is gone, and Josh and I leave home a lot. Lycos is too big to cuddle with, and Honey was here for so long...It's just a huge difference. Poor Lycos doesn't know whats going on...he seemed kinda confused when we were in the yard...I wonder how he'll be without Honey.
I really want to tell people, but it seems no one is around to tell. I told Jenn as soon as I could, and I told Jass what was going on when I had to leave...but, like, Rachel, Silver, Manda...>__<
Oh, and we start school again tomorrow...what fun. -___-
