You Will Be Missed

Last Sunday, I had this decision that I thought I wouldn't regret. Maybe because I thought I wouldn't miss her so much this way. Well, I was wrong. I think of her many times after she left especially when I’m alone in our home. She’s been my companion for a while and I still like her even when she always hurt me.

She was our puppy, Kylie. She was very cute and cuddly.  But when she got a little bit older, she started to bite us. I knew she’s just playing because she was not really biting us that hard but it’s still dangerous especially for my son. Until Sunday came and my husband decided that we should give Kylie to his auntie in Antipolo. I refused him first because I already loved our puppy. But, I also surmised that we couldn't take care of her any longer because she was starting to hurt us then and she was also highly maintenance. So we couldn't afford her needs anymore since she was getting bigger.

Before Kylie was taken, I looked at her and told her that I’m going to miss her and she mustn't bite her new owner. As I’m talking to her, I thought that she’s begging me and it was like she was trying to tell sorry and don’t give her away. She was sad and making puppy eyes to me. I couldn't look at her anymore because I already felt that my tears wanted to fall. As my husband drove them away, she was quiet and just looked at me sadly. I bid goodbyes and told her to be good.

Finally, when they’re out of my sight, my tears suddenly fell and they didn’t stop for a while. I just realized that I never wanted her to be given away but it’s already too late. I wanted to bring her back but I realized why we needed to do that. I just hope that her new owner won’t hurt her and will love her too like we did. Maybe someday we could have another puppy that somehow we’re willing to take care of longer than we did for Kylie. I realized that it’s really hard to let go of someone or something that means a lot to you.
