Mikey and Nicholas

I was reading on a blog I found about someone who lost their dog. They person talked about how the dog became sick and was taken to the vet and was put to sleep. She also talks about how she was not there when they put her dog to sleep and how she felt so bad about that. She talks about how she felt afterwards without her dog around.

This got me said and I cried. I started thinking about my dog, Mikey. I remember back in 2009 when my cousin noticed that he had bumps near his pee thing and it was red. She also noticed he was lifting one of his leg when he went for walks. My mom and I took him to the vet and he was diagnosed with having lymphoma cancer. He only lasted about 2 weeks before he had to be put to sleep. I decided to be in the room with him when they put him to sleep and I was able to hold him after it was done. It was the saddest thing I had ever had to do but I know it was the best for him. He couldn’t eat or drink and just refused to get up. He was just too cold. Thinking about that day I know that he is in a better place than being here suffering. It would have made me feel better that he was here but it would have also made me sad seeing him in so much pain.

Thinking about him I just started crying even more. But then I looked at Nicholas, my current dog, lying on my bed and I am just so grateful to have him in my life. Whenever I’m said he always knows what to do to cheer me up and I know he will cheer me up right now. He may never replace Mikey but he always has a special place in my heart. Mikey was the love of my life and if he was still around he will still be the love of my life but since he is no longer with us Nicholas has become the love of my life.



My Golden Retriever, Mikey

Today, April 27 was the one year anniversary of the day my golden retriever dog died. He died last year this date of lymphoma, cancer of the lymph nodes.

Today I had school. As I was walking to class I saw a goose outside the building where my class is. I was about 2 inches from the goose and the goose just stood there looking at me. I think this goose was my dog. Mikey always loved to go for walks to the lake near our house and just sit there and watch the geese in the water or on the grass. Mikey always barked and wanted to chase any animal he saw but with the geese he just sat there and watched them. I think he came back in the form of a goose and went to see me. This is the first time I saw I goose at my school. At first I thought it was just a coincidence that there was a goose at my school on the one year anniversary of my dog’s death but then I really believed it was my dog. I said hi to the goose. I don’t care if anyone heard me and thought I was crazy talking to the goose.

Don’t know if anyone believes that when animals or people die they come back in another form. In either a person or an animal. I believe this. I believe that when my grandmother died she came back as a white butterfly. I don’t see too many white butterflies by my house but I do see many other color butterflies. When I do see a white one I know it is my grandmother. As for my dog, he came back in the form of a goose.
