I'm sad

[theresita]

So my dog Austin died yesterday. It was also my birthday. I'm so sad, I was crying so bad yesterday.  Today I kept it together pretty well, though.  I keep expecting to see him walking into the room, or hear him bark when I open the door. I still can't grasp fully that he's gone.  I've had him for more than half of my life, and now he's gone.  I wonder if the neighbors will notice...

He was pretty sick, and it wasn't enexpected, but still...just last weekend he was running around my aunt's yard trying to get the ball as my brother and I played catch.

Oh man.
