Tasha

by Celene Eledge

In December it turned out as a normal night into a nightmare (really). Well I was sleeping on our couch cause' I felt like it and I had a nightmare that while we were at the vets that we put Tasha (my dog) down and it was extremly weird because I wanted to wake up because it was such a awful dream but the dream seemed to not let me I tryed and tryed but my eyes would not open (like I said, very weird) so I gave up and said to myself well its not going to happed so what am I worrying about? The next morning I remembered that we were going to the vets for Tasha and Iris (my cat) so I hoped in the car (after getting dressed of course) and we set off I was holding Iris in a pillow case I could feel her heart beat, man was she scared she always gets that way because she knows where we are going, THE TUNNEL OF DOOM!!! Personally thats what I think of it now. Well anyway we got in I went in the cat side my dad in the dog side with my sweetie Tasha. There was no wait so we got in a room and the nurse did all the tests then she sent the doctor in iris was going crazy at this point it seemed that she was clinging on me for dear life. Well Tasha didn't seem to mind she was just fine, or so I thought. The doctor examend Iris this hairball is fine he said. Now Tasha he felt her around the rear and said this seems to be stiff and said why don't you guys come back in a hour or so and I will take some tests so we did and I thought to myself is my nightmare coming true? i paniced not knowing that Iris was clawing me I felt sick I wanted to go inside a little box and cry but there was no box around so I just cryed. My dad told me u know mabey it is a mistake this might not be be bad I felt a little better knowing mabey he is right so we went to petsmart for a collar for Iris. It was a hour by then so we went back there and there was my neighbor my dad went in the room that the doctor would talk to him in I didn't want to so I sat next to my neighbor and cryed my dad came out a couple minutes later and he had TASHA!!! I went and hugged Tasha and we left I asked daddy "Soooo" he said well we are gonna take Tasha home for a couple of day then when we feel its time we'll come back and... his voice drifted away he put his hand on his face and I heard him sniffle he was crying it took alot to make my dad cry then I got the picture and burst out crying I felt bad,rotten,spoiled. We went home and my mom was ready to take my brother to a birthday party I went in crying and my mom asked my dad something and thay got in the car to leave she told me that my brother was wondering why I was crying she said I think Tashas dying and sure enough the next 3 days we fed her anything she wanted then the next morning she was to weak to get up or walk so we dicided it was time so we got to the vet and.... *sniffle*
