Star

After months of going back and forth, we had to put our dog down today. She's been crippled since we got her and her health had just been declining in the past year. We were starting to see that she was in pain and could barely go to the bathroom outside by herself.

We got Star from pet refuge. We found her picture online and my mom, Kylee and I just said, " Aww we have to bring her home." So we went through all the procedures, which included bringing in our other dog to meet her before we could take her home...they had to see that they got along haha. I think we got Star when I was in 5th grade. Wow, I just realized how long she's been in our family. She would "sing" and howl when we did it along with her. She had such a beautiful coat of fur, but we would spend hours during the summer brushing her and end up with piles of fur. I remember in 6th grade I actually wrote a book on her. Remember those little white books we had to write stories in every year? Yep, one of those was titled "Star."

So today my family sat in the living room and said goodbye to Star. Im so glad she's not in pain anymore. It's been a tough day, so I just wanted to remember some good things about her and try to forget about the day. Under Star's picture on the website, a little poem was written...
"Star light, Star bright. Wish I may, wish I might." Idk what that has to do with anything but it was cute under the picture of a baby pomeranian :) haha. We'll miss Star, but it's good to remember the fun times we had with her.

p.s. I can't believe I just wrote a whole blog on my dog lol. But the pic above was taken of us in January, when we were told to say goodbye to her. It's now March. We said goodbye for a long time haha.
