The time I had to get rid of my dog By:Izabelle Landon

One beautiful spring morning I asked my mom if I could go outside and she said "only if you stay in the backyard" so I listened to her. I went out side to play with my dog Rasta. {he is a pit bull.} When we went outside we played with is chew toy, we played and played and played until we got to tired to even walk, so after we wore our selves out, we both took a nap together and when woke up it was lunch time. We ate pizza rolls and got a quick drink and then my mom asked "if we wanted to go for a walk" and I said "yes" so my mom and my dad and I went for a walk with Rasta.

The next day my mom hit me with the bad news she said "I'm sorry Izabelle but we have to get rid of Rasta". I couldn't believe what she had told me I cried and wined and balled for 3 hours straight it was hard for me because I was so connected to him he was the first dog that I ever had. We had kept him since he was a puppy and he was about five to six years old.

The reason he had to go bye bye was because my mom was pregnat with twins and since he was a big dog and there just wasn't enough room he just had to go. When that day came I did everything I could to spend my last few hours with him. The next thing I know here comes the dog carrier and his chew toys, everything of his. I couldn't even look when he had to get in that trapped contraption people call a dog carrier, it was so heart breaking.

Rasta was even wining he didn't want to go, I was even saying to my mom, "you can't do this to him"! Then she said "it was for the best honey". When Rasta left I went to his favorite spot in the house and sat down and just thought to myself it is okay to let go of things even though you are so attached to them. My mom even agreed and she had said. "We did the right thing honey, you did the right thing by letting go".

After all it ended to be a big happy family because my twin brother and sister were born and Rasta found a new home in Omaha Nebraska and he knew, that we had to do what we had to do.

Looking back today I know that it is hard giving up something that you really care about, but the thing is that it is never to late to go on with your life or to start your day over again.
