This Story Of A Dog’s Last Day On Earth Is Beautiful And Utterly Heartbreaking

I Died Today.

And I laughed.



And I thought about how much I’m going to miss it here.

My friends from next door came to see me. They’re twins. When someone offered them one of my hamburgers, one said, “No thank you. I don’t want to take any from Dukey.”

Kristen came to see me. She’s a hoot. She’s my groomer. And my buddy.

While we were waiting for the vet to come, Kristen said we were going for a walk. Then someone said, “How about a play in the water at the splash park down the street?” So off we went!

“And you too, right?”

I listened to the kids play off in the distance. And thought about my two babies at home. I loved protecting them.

I said goodbye to my beautiful friend Kira. She “saw” me standing over everybody before the doctor said it was time. I was excited & jumping & happy.

God, I was lucky. Our time was short. But you both gave me a second chance & we lived it up together. You love when I look at you. I’ll never stop.
