losing my best friend
by
On august 31st I had to put my little girl sasha to sleep. We had been together since i was 14, when i was 15 my parents moved away and sasha and i were left to fend for ourselves. Sasha and i soon were homeless, and we had to take care of each other to survive, when i slept she was awake, and when she slept i was awake. After about sixteen months whe moved in with my grandmother, who did not like dogs so i had to find a new place to live, about that time an apartment opened up above my job, and we soon moved in. After about two years sasha and i met this great girl and her wonderful dog chili. This girl and I soon started dating, and chili and sasha were sisters. they were the best of friends, we all were a family. The first real family sasha and i had ever known. Well shortly after the family was together sasha snapped at a little child in an elevator, luckily it was someone we knew and everything was okay. We started to muzzle sasha when she was in our building just so she wouldn't bite anyone. Well two years later she bit two people in one week and the only logical thing we could do was to put her down. It was the hardest thing I ever had to do. It was like killing the only family i had. Its really hard getting used to not having her around, but if one good thing came out of this it's sasha got to experience what it was like to be apart of a real family. I love you sasha, and you will never be forgotten. Love dad. and mom and chili.
