When Tesla Left
by Ally Wilson
I loved you so very much. We lived together. We played together. We cuddled and cried together. I left for school one day, giving you a last pat on the head thinking that i would see you again as soon as school was out. As I entered the house after school I saw Mommy and Daddy siting on the couch. You weren't in sight but I knew you ha dto be in the house somewhere so I didnt fret. Daddy called to me over to sit nest to him by the couch because he told me that he had to talk to me. I thought it as school related most likely. But the tragic words that spilled out of his mouth weren't education but tragic. "Ally, today, at 1:30 Tesla passed away." WHAT?!?! YOU'RE LYING! I DONT BELIEVE YOU! I knew you had to be somewhere around here...I ran into the other room looking for you although in the back of my mind I knew the truth but I didn't want to believe it. I left the house only because I thought you'd be there when I got home. HOW COULD YOU LEAVE ME?! I DIDN'T EVEN GET TO SAY GOOD BYE!!! I miss you so much that words cannot explain it...only my tears. Daddy told me what happened that day at the vet's office. Now everytime I hear the jingle of a dog collar, a howl or a bark, a scratch at the door, or a whimper so slight, I think of you and my heart aches. My eyes burn from all the tears I've shed, my heart is laden and heavy, my breathing is uneven, and my eyes water at a glimpse of your collar or photo. I will never forget you Tesla. We will meet again. I love you.
