I Miss...

My dog. The b-e-a-utiful weather made think of this. Ok, and Meghan's post about her cat :(

Yes, I miss Chief, but this post isn't about missing Chief. It's about missing Daffy. To most people, she would have been considered the worst dog ever. But given a chance, she was an awesome dog. She was honestly my best friend, and got me through those depressing Jr. High years. It's rough losing a 17 year old dog. To me it was like losing the best friend I had had since kindergarten. That's pretty much what happened to me. On days like this, I would take Daffy rollerblading with me, or up to the park so she could wade in the creek. We have had to put cats to sleep before, and that was rough, but, nothing has ever been rougher on me than putting Daffdog to sleep. Honestly, and as bad as this sounds, even family members deaths haven't hit me this hard. It's been 8 months since we put Daff to sleep, and it still really hasn't gotten easier. It was just so sudden. Granted, she was "sick" for a year or so before hand, I kept telling myself that she would be ok. It seemed like she was immortal. To outlive 2 cats and put up with Chief, made her seem immortal. The fact that I'll come home this summer and not have to give a dog a haircut is just hitting me. I wish I knew how to put how I feel into words. Wow, this is pointless rambling. I'm sorry anyone has to read this.

R.I.P. Daffdog, you are missed.
