Death

Death isn't so bad....
You'll respawn eventually.


My dog Sugar was a very good dog.  She was a brown boxer with a stubby little tail.  She liked most of the things that dogs like; She liked to go for walks and get treats and be played with.  She really liked to run when she was younger.  She would sprint back and forth between two people.  The only thing I remember her not liking was putting her head out of the window in the car. 

Even as she got old, she always loved to play.  She would still be just as energetic, but she would only get tired faster.  The hair on her face became [grey, gray] and she would sleep more often.  She would rarely ever whine, because she couldn't hear the things outside like she once was able to.  Even when the doorbell would ring, she would only poke her head up and look around, wondering if she heard something, or if it was only her imagination.  When we would get up to go answer the door, that is when she would start to bark.  That is when she knew that someone really had rung the doorbell.

Boxers are very prone to different types of cancer, and she started to develop all sorts of lumps on her back and stomach.  We had many of them removed, but they kept coming back.  They would come back bigger and worse than before.  Eventually, there was nothing that could be done and we had to put her down.  It was very sad for the whole family.
