tonight my family endured one of the most difficult things our family has ever gone through, for some of us the most difficult. four months ago we made a new brother. i don’t mean to say that we endured the effort of procreating a new brother, but rather gained one in appa - our brother from a canine mother. he was the cutest, spunkiest little west highland terrier that i had ever seen, with a heart ten times bigger than his body. in so many ways i saw him as the perfect addition to our clan, his sweet disposition and charming personality couldn’t long disguise the fact that he was a real brat at heart. he was born a chan.
i’ll miss most the way that he would jump up to great you, misjudge his landing, and face-plant into your thigh. whether or not he was being obedient, he was always a great dog.
appa was deeply loved by us and he knew it. i’m incredibly grateful to him for the way that he brightened up my life and the encouragement that the brought to my family. he knit us together in a way that only a puppy’s relentless love can.
nellie and i loved you, you silly pup.
what happened to him?! :o(
doggy-overdose. he managed to find a bottle of no-doze and ingest all 16 pills. it was really sad.
