The family dog died today. It won't be the same family home anymore. No more dog following around. No more tail wagging. No more petting. No more jumping up on visitors. No more barks at the mailman. No more walks around the block. No more need for the toys and the leashes and the water dish and the extra food. No more. No more. No more. :-(
Ozzie was a good dog. Really he was just a giant puppy who never truly got old, just big and aged. He was always young and crazy. And always wanted to play. So long Ozzie. The family will miss you. There should be some kind of ceremony or something for dead pets, but there's not. But there's not. Goodnight Ozzie. We loved you.
