Rough weekend

[Nephanim Nocturn]

So my dog died last night while we were stopping by a family member's house to let their dogs outside. We came home to learn she had suffocated, and all attempts to resuscitate her had failed. There are only a few things on Earth that are precious to me, and she was one of them. Now, I suppose she's not much different from my dream characters - alive in my thoughts and memories, but out of reach.

It's going to be rough for a while, but I know it was a freak accident and there's nothing I could have done. I just wish she hadn't died so young.

Thanks. We're taking comfort in knowing she had a happy life and a great last day - took her on a long walk earlier that afternoon, and since it was the weekend, I was able to spend the majority of the day with her rather than at work.
