Tyson

I'm not going to school. My dog died.

I woke up and went down stairs to wash my hair and my dog was laying there. He's been having problems breathing and hasn't been eating or sleeping.

So, I found him in the bathtub which from afar I thought he was breathing.

But he wasn't so I immediately started to cry. There was redness coming from his mouth which mom said was his bad breath.

And my dog is dead. MY Tyson. I touched him and he was just so still. Mom told him not to rest and that we loved him before he went in the bathtub.

It was his favorite spot. My mom told me last night that she might have to put him down and I cried like hell until I fell asleep.

But he doesn't have to suffer anymore with his ear infection and the way he is breathing.

I can't stop crying. He was exactly like me in a lot of ways. My mom is sorry that I had to wake up and find him that way. We've had him since I was in 1st or 3rd grade.
