Minion Leeloo Lebowski's Blog – October 2007 Archive (6)

I just wanted to thank everyone for their warm thoughts. I think the thing that upset me the most was seeing Tiger laying there struggling to hold on, because it was a perfect rendition of seeing our first dog die. Bo was the name of our first family dog; he was a nine year old boxer. He was a puppy from one of my grandfather’s litters, he bred boxers and one year my parents decided they…

Tiger, the family dog, is no longer with us. Everyone thought he was hit by a car at first, because he was found collapsed by the road. Apparently a blood clot came loose in his body and traveled to his back end paralyzing him, mean while he struggled to breathe because of a heart murmur.

Only one accident today, but I think it was due to all the excitement from the children my mother and I babysit together. I was glad to see her so excited to play with them. After a while she had enough and went about her own business. She slept a lot durning the afternoon, but of course later this evening she was a fiesty girl.
