My Lovable Doggie, Shaku

I had her for almost 10 months. I gave her my love, I treated her like my baby. Since I had her, I was the one who cared for her. I bought her milk. I was feeding her. After school I'd go home to hug her and play with her.

Suddenly, she left me. I know that when she died, she was looking for me, but I was away from home. I wasn't able to be with her when she was in pain. I regret so much that I wasn't with her. When I was about to leave that day, I saw in her eyes that she was in pain. I told her to wait for me. But she wasn't able to wait for me. She died without seeing me that day. I wasn't at her side when she breathed her last breath. That is so painful for me.

I cry every night. I still can't get over her. I want her existence. I want her to be with us again. I miss her so much. In every corner of this house I can see her. In every move I make she is with me. I was always with her, and now that she's gone, it's like I've lost my life. My only happiness is gone. I miss her so much.
