Queenie My Sweet Little Dog

When Shep died I was heartbroken and sick, how could any dog ever replace shep? I didn't want a dog, but after a while I knew that a dog is just what I wanted. Found this little black puppy, so cute and cuddly. A black lab-mix and what a dog she was, so smart and very lovable. I learned to love this dog very soon, she had her shots they told me, so I took their word for it. Queenie followed me all over the yard, the way shep use to do. I trained her to do some simple tricks which she learned so fast. After around 8 months she got real sick, she stopped eating, I took her to the vet and he told me that she had distemper, I told him that she had her shots and he told me, that the shots sometimes don't always work. A few days later she died, I was once again heart broken, but later in life I was to find out that death is just part of life, we need to enjoy our pets while we can. I buried her next to shep between the two trees, she is still there 50 years later, and I am still thinking about that dear little dog that I had, she was so sweet and loyal to me. Written 8-15-11
