My Little Tiger

Pepper

Pepper was probably the BEST dog ever!! I mean Ive only had 2 dogs. Pepper died, and now I have a really annoying dog named Bella, ugh she eats EVERYTHING AND NEVER LEAVES ME ALONE WHEN IM TRYING TO EAT!! XD sorry haha. But one of the first things that Pepper did when ever Basil came to our house for the first time, is she got off the couch (witch she rarely did) and started walking around. Basil tryed to follow her but out living room was a mess and there was stuff that he had to jump over! And he was so tiny. About when I was in third grade Pepper died on a Sunday, and that morning when  I got up I looked all around for Pepper. My dad came out not too long later to talk to us, he had said that Pepper had died really early in the morning and Pepper had tried to do anything she could to stay alive!!! My mom told me that Basil has said good bye to Pepper by liking her nose at the last second. Pepper and Basil were never apart!! They would always be on the couch snuggling. Basil would groom Pepper and then groom him self and then go to sleep! I remember the night that Pepper died Basil was in my bed and he kept on trying to leave but I wouldn't let him. Then I found out that Pepper had died and then I thought, IM SO SORRY BASIL I SHOULD OF LET YOU GO!! I SHOULD OF LET YOU GO TO PEPPER! Then I started crying. Everyone knew Pepper and loved her. She was the best dog ever, I would do anything to get her back!! There is so much more that Pepper and Basil would do but I just remeber going back on a monday and hiding in my coat, and we always had to write what we did over the weekend, I had my 3rd grade teacher read it for me and then I started crying and UGH I MISS HER SOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!! Awe Pepps. Well, it was mmy idea that we would get her cremated, so thats what we did, I have her ashes in a little stuffed animal dog that I ALWAYS keep in my bed (don't judge, your never to old for stuffed animals) But I remember asking were they had put her body and my mom and dad took me down to see and they had put her in a box in the garage and I remeber thinking that it was possible that she could come back to life. That God would see how upset I was and that he would send her soul back down to earth and she would be alive again. But then I felt her and ralized how stiff and cold she was and knew that it wasn't possible, and that she was gone and not coming back. That she was in Heaven and not in any more pain and probably running and was the heathiest dog ever!!! I still cry about her gone sometimes, but you know, she was my first dog ever and we didn't really have her for that long. When ever I see pictures of her then I'm Kind of upset. Last year around Christmas I saw a picture of her and it was an ornament, I think it was for her first Christmas with us and I grabbed it out of my moms hands and ran to my room and cryed and cryed.... Since she was a rescue dog we didn't ever really know her birthday, so we decided to make it on Valentines day. So her birthday is coming up! But yes everyone misses her... I still kind of feel bad for Basil (if he even remembers her) but it still makes me sad.
