thank you
she was a weird bitch, but she was my bitch. she would shut the door to my walk in closet, then howl to wake me up. if i told her to shuttup she'd open the door and go back to sleep downstairs for like half an hour and then do it again
she'd turn on faucets if she needed a drink.
but she sure as shit wouldn't fetch. she'd just look at me like "you go get it you asshole"
she'd be naughty at times. she ate a pack of oreos, a pack of hershey kisses, almost all of the christmas cookies that were out cooling. if she crapped in the house which happened sometimes she'd freak out because she knew i'd be mad and then in some sort of anxiety attack tear stuff up. she removed all the stuffing from a pillow once as a puppy
she lived for the times when we'd go out camping though. she became such a dog then, marking her perimeter around the site. she attacked a neighboring dog that entered our area. and she'd just lay around happy as can be or with me desperately trying to get her to stop eating deer shit.
with her congenital kidney problem, i was originally told she'd live to see 2, maybe 3. i had her on a perscription diet that whole time, and i guess i'm lucky i saw her almost to her 8th birthday, next month. but it's still quite difficult. she's been the only constant in my life for 8 years, and now she's gone. she won't come put her head on my lap if ive been at the computer too long, or bound down the stairs like it's a race every time i went down them. one time she fell onto the landing midway down and turned around and looked at me like "what? nothing happened. what are you looking at me like that for? you didn't see anything".
i picked her out of the litter because she had eyes that were worrying. she usually looked at you like that, like she was deeply concerned, and i think she was. she'd howl if i went into the garage without her, which annoyed me. i am positive i will miss coming home everyday and my girl bounding to see me
