My Dear Spunky

by Kristy Kelemen

I got Spunky when I was about 6 years old, he was only 7 weeks old when we bought him. I named him Spunky because he was very energetic and always jumping and playing.I always gave him my attention. But, after we had him for a while my family just did not pay attention to him as much. and we bought another dog and she was getting all the attention. He always cried and begged to be played with. But, as always, I was their for him. I was his only friend (So, it seemed). And if some one in my family came to pet him He would not let them and he would growl and snap at them. But, when I came to pet him he would lick me and start barking with happiness. He went every where with me. He slept with me, went to the park with me.But, as the years went on he started having problems with his heart.(Maybe he did not have enough love in it from everyone else.) But, I know the love that was in his heart was all mine. He started to get weak and very very ill. When the doctor said he only had a week to live. He spent it all with me. I never took my eyes of of him.I knew the time was coming close as I heard his breaths shorten. I held him in my arms and looked into his eyes and he looked into mine. I swear that he had tears in his eyes. And I told him that I loved him. And then Spunky peacefully went up with God. I hols a special place in my heart for only him. I love him forever and ever.And I tried my best to give him a happy life full of love.
