We knew the second they opened the door and Daisy wasn’t with them that Daisy was gone.
We all sat down in the living room around the pile of Daisy’s toys.
Dad told us what happened at the animal hospital, how the vet took Daisy for some Xrays and blood tests,
then came back and told them she had a huge mass in her stomach. She was having trouble breathing.
Mom and Dad didn’t want her to suffer, so Daddy picked her up in his arms like he always liked to do,
with her legs straight up in the air, and he and Mom kissed her goodbye over and over again
and whispered to her while the vet put a needle into her leg.
And then after about a minute she died in Daddy’s arms. It was so peaceful, Daddy said.
She wasn’t in any pain at all. Like she was just going to sleep.
A couple of times while he talked, Dad’s voice got trembly and he cleared his throat.
I’ve never seen Dad cry before, but I saw him cry tonight.
I had gone into Mom and Dad’s bedroom looking for Mom to put me to bed, but saw Dad sitting on the edge of the bed, taking off his socks.
