Press space bar for the whole poem. TW: Dog passing away. [Story] My dog passed in August. When we first got him he was going to be put down but mom and dad saved him. He was named "Collin" when we first got him. Mom said he was a blessing because he was named my fathers name. We named him "Scrappy" after dads nickname "Scooby" and he was a black mouth cur that was all orange. He was special. Barked if someone left the house. Cuddled you when you needed a hug and even waited at the door if someone left or he needed to potty. He refused to potty in the house... We got him about 5 years ago. He was with me before anything I felt or questioned anything abt me. Then he started wobbling and peeing in the house which was so unlike him. the vet said he had rlly bad ears. We thought it was more then that. It was. He had a brain tumor. At like 4:00AM I was planning on running away from home when I was experiencing thoughts. I heard him crying whining and barking. mom and dad were BAWLING. my siblings were sleeping and I thought it was just a random noise. I chose to just go back to sleep and runaway the next day. I never ranaway because in the morning I was woken up early and dad said "scrappy passed away" I was confused. I stayed brave never cried just stood their. Then mom said for us to say our last words I never said anything and we all petted him. He was ice cold. With a smile on his face. He tried his hardest to survive for a hug from us... Mom pointed at her wall and I saw his collar hanging up. I bawled and we now have his ashes and I miss him. He was the most special and life changing dog we ever had. He was spoiled but so lovely. If u ever took off his collar he would whine because he'd think "ur disowning me??" I miss him so much... </3
