He said “Can I talk to you please……..Crissy…….Outside.” They were gone for about 5 minutes and my mom came back in. She looked like she just got hit by a car, and she did not say anything.

I was not ready to let my best friend go, but my mom told me that it was going to be okay. Before they put her in the hole I gotta see her one more time. After I said goodbye we each but a hand full of dirt on her box. My stepdad made a cross that said “ Daisy Taylee’s Dog.” I sat by her grave until it was dark, I thought maybe she is still alive and we need to get her out of that box, but my mom said she is with God now. It took me sometime to realize that she is in a better place now, but I figured it out.

About a year after we got a new dog named Ammo, and he is so sweet. I know that no dog can ever replace Daisy, but I knew that she was in a better place. I learned that if you love something that you have to let it go. Also I learned that life is precious and you should never take advantage of it. Daisy will forever be in my heart, and now she is running around in heaven with the other dogs. Not long after Daisy died so did Soie, so now they are in heaven together. I miss them both, but they are now in God’s
