Trina,

It was a warm October day and I was cleaning my house as usual, when I remembered that it was time to go study at Barnes and Noble for an exam I had in a couple of weeks. Well Trina had been sleeping next to my bed and she didnt get up for her breakfast as she always did.I called her but she didnt come down stairs, so I went up. She was sleeping and had a strange smell that was sour, but she ate things all the time that weren't exactly food, She was a 85 lb red tick hound that chewed on everything. I got her a parade of bones, toys, chewies but she always chewed on things like cans. I fed her more and she still chewed. well, This time it was abit strange cause she would not get up. She was 13 and her back legs got stiff , after moving around she was okay, I figured she just wanted to sleep. I left to go to the bookstore and I was there for four hours studying and returned home. she was no where to be found, but this horrible smell was in my house, I walked into the bathroom blood and other fluids were everywhere, I was sick inside. I found her under my bed shivering . It was warm outside and a car ride was not in the question right now for her, so I let her out and went to her vet inquirying on what to do, thinking it was a sickness that can be cured. They had left for the day and the person who manned the desk told me to go to the emergency pet hospital. I went first without Trina. I walked into the hospital, I was dispondent, I finally spoke with the person behind the desk about what happened, she called the doctor and said trina had to be put down , she was internally bleeding and in extreme pain, my heart almost blurst, I could not believe what I was hearing she was dying? My Trina who has been with me 13 years ? So I went home and got her into the car , I tried not to allow myself to think about what was next but It was hard. It took 15 minutes to get there and after the orderly put us in the room to say goodbyes , he took her , she wagged her tai as he took her to the doctor to be put down. They wouldnt let me go in alone, it wasn'5t fair to the dog, and I agreed. I sat out in the parking lot for 3 hours and cried, waving people on that heard my sobs. that day was the worst day in my life because she was apart of me. She was a gentle loving soul that cared for me and my child , Trina girl, you will never , and I mean never be forgotten. you were a kind heart , i love you forever.
