Where's the crying smiley?
God dammit. So it's my last day at stretch's today, and i come in to find out that the owner's son accidently backed over the shop dog last night and killed it. A horrible death from how they described it. I was sick to my stomach. She was a golden lab and was at most 6-7 months old. They were finally able to pick the puppy up at Easter time. I played with this dog probably at the least, an hour out of my regular 8 hour work day. She was the best dog i've ever known. i didn't have a pet when i was young, my family was allergic except me. So this was "my" pet in a way. Fun loving puppy. Would knaw on your hand and bite it, but knew from the very beginning of at what point it was too hard. Would just playfully do it. Honestly, I think it was slightly retarded but maybe that's just how a puppy is at that age. Just watch her slide along the shop floor chasing after a ball. Didn't know how to stop early and slide to the point where she would want to be and would end up just sliding into or under a counter/desk. Today was supposed to be a happy day being my last day there, but it turned to ****. i feel for the son who's 16. My boss' wife was just devasted. She looked like a complete wreck. She came up to me and hugged me for a long time because of how much she knew i cared for the pup. And she felt so bad that on my last day I couldn't play with her anymore. Today just sucks. Just needed to vent
