RIP Ceasar

Oh God, why?   I have to bury my puppy today.   My confidante. My best friend.   Guard dog, cuddle buddy, walking partner….my best friend Ceasar.   Yesterday I spend the majority of the day clearing the weeds out of my garden.   As my 13 year-old neighbor Kesa made valentine’s cards in my doorway, the sun started setting and we decided it was time to clean up and head over to Lorato’s for dinner.    As I approached the house, I heard a scratching noise.     “Ceasar, stop it”. I yelled in the house.   It didn’t stop.   When I went inside, I found him convulsing on the floor behind my couch in a pool of foam and feces.   I didn’t know what to do.   I screamed for Kesa to go get Lorato. I tried to hold him still. I didn’t know what else to do.   Lorato came. She brought him outside and poured some milk in his mouth with hopes that the jolting would stop. ...
