(no subject)
In the morning when you finally go
And the nurse runs in with her head hung low
And the cardinal hits the window
In the morning in the winter shade
On the first of March, on the holiday
I thought I saw you breathing
All the glory that the Lord has made
And the complications when I see His face
In the morning in the window
All the glory when He took our place
But He took my shoulders and He shook my face
And He takes and He takes and He takes
sally.. i don't know what exactly happened to you yet but i could tell there was something wrong with you yesterday. i thought you just needed some rest because you were going up and down the stairs so much looking for dad, because he's in alabama right now. you didn't seem too bad when i left the house to get lunch but my mom came home not even an hour later and saw you had thrown up in the house and were lying outside on your favorite spot in the grass, but it was in the sun and you were ridiculously hot but you couldn't even get up. mom helped you in the house and gave you water and helped you cool down. you started making small noises every once in a while that sounded like a small howl. to me it sounded like a cry of pain. we were going to take you to the vet but you seemed to get better for a while and my mom talked to my dad and they decided that if you got worse again, we'd take you. my mom woke me up around 2 am telling me to get dressed so i can drive to emergency pet care. i was still buzzed from drinking earlier. i'll never forget the way you looked at me when the vet put you on the table. i had never seen you so sad and so scared. the vet said that you had massive internal bleeding and your bladder looked like it was compromised by cancer. we were there for a while and the vet said she didn't know what she could do, but we couldn't put you on pain medicine because the vet was afraid it would slow your heart down more than it already was. we went home because there was nothing else we could do. my mom woke me up around 6:30 and said you were gone. you probably died in pain and i'm so so so so sorry.. the vet said it looked like you just fell asleep and then you flatlined. when we got back to emergency care, we all went to the back to see you. your eyes were the cloudiest i've ever seen and your tongue was hanging out to the side and you were stiff. mom and elisha were petting you. elisha had her face in you. i just stood there crying because i couldn't pet you like that. i'm sorry sally. you were the best dog ever and you were always there for me. we grew up together and i love you like no other. i'm glad i have this scar now because i'll always be reminded of you. i love you sally.
