it is september 16th 2008 and i was going outside to feed matilda, my beloved calico cat.... i shook the box of treats but she didn't come running... i searched up and down the town, hopping to find her... no luck then I came across a big bush. it had a kind of hevily breathing sound. i looked in... matildia had been chewed on my a rotwiler... i kept on kicking and stomping at the dog and it finally ran off... i took of my sweatshirt and wraped her in it. the big blue beautiful eyes i had trused now looked fierce and angry. i ran her home. we rushed her to the vet. i waited 6 hours in the waiting room.then the doctor came out frowning and looked as if he was going to cry. i knew the news was bad. i hugged my mom and cried. he said the best thing to do was humanely put her down... i ran into the emergencey room... she was sitting on the table... her eyes half closed and barely alive.i hugged her and kissed her... she purred... as if to say youhave been good to me.you are my best friend. but im ready to go... ill never forget you.i cried into her soft fur and i said. no i wont let you go. not yet.they stook the needle through i styed there... i didnt want her to go with out me there to say goodbye. they put her in a box and i took her home i sat her on my dresser and i ran onto my bed and cried and screamed bloody murder. it was to hard to hold down the tears that night. i was so used to her comeing up and purring in my face and cuddleing. i didnt want to think of her dead... i just wanted her to be happy... like in a never ending slummber...my sweet baby i shall never forget you you are gone but not from my loving heeart =''''''(
