i mean it's not like i even liked that dog in the first place, right?

Why is I never realize what I’ve got til it’s gone? It’s a problem and I should know by now to not take things for granted. 

My little dog died today. I have never had so much shock in my life. I always talked about how I didn’t like her.... We had a love hate relationship with each other. Something about her thinking she’s the alpha female when clearly I’m in charge. But the truth is she was really the best dog ever. She was part of the family. She came on vacations with us and was in our family Christmas Card. 

She was always there first to greet me when I come home. She was always there to clean up my messes when I drop some food on the floor. She was there to chase down the boys asking me to dances or toilet papering my house. She was always there for my dad to take on a hike in the mountains. She was always there to sit by me when I’m cold and warm me up. She was always there to bark away all the birds who dare land in my yard. She was always there on vacations to Washington with the family. She was always there to sing along when Jaxson and I would howl at the top of our lungs and she'd always join right in. She was always there to go running with even though she hated it and would try to run the other way. She was there for all these things, and now just all the sudden she’s gone. I think something can be learned from this. About how delicate life is and how quickly it can be gone. Treat others kindly. Because you never know when your time will be up. Zoe, thanks for all the good memories and for being a great dog. I will miss you. Even though you did eat every pack of gum and chap stick I own and got her hair all over my clothes.
