Today marks a day of a loss. We thought you ran away or got stolen or taken away yesterday..... however the only thing taken away was your life. Spike, you were an amazing dog. I can't believe you were so close by and we passed you. The last encounter with you was Monday when I hugged you and went inside for the day. I remember when we looked around for you on Tuesday afternoon and Eevee was sniffing the air near you. I thought about going over but mom told me to just keep moving to look. I'm sorry. Today marks the day that we found you. I had so much fun with you these last 7-8 years. I wish you didn't leave so soon.
