Journal entry by Susie Knedlik

Finally!  She let me have the phone!  I have to tell you what happened here!  I had noticed that my human that used to pee standing up wasn’t moving much. When I came over by his bed he didn’t reach down and scratch my ears or rub me. And sometimes he made these weird noises. Not human words like he used to but almost yelps like we do when we are hurting. I was getting worried. Then on Wednesday my other human picked me up and put me on his lap. His mouth was open but his eyes were shut. I couldn’t feel any air coming out of his mouth so I looked down at his stomach which moves when he was breathing. Nothing. I looked back and forth, back and forth but nothing. If he were a dog I would say he was dead!  Do humans die?  Surely not mine!  Then I noticed that all the humans in the room were crying, including mine who put me down on the floor. Nobody was paying attention to me. Pretty soon these two strangers came in the door wheeling something that looked like a narrow bed. They wrapped the sheets around my human and put him on that wheels thing. And then they covered him, even his head, with this grey thing and started rolling him out the door. Wait a minute!  You can’t take my human!  But out the door they went so I slipped out the door to go with him. He wasn’t going anywhere without me!  But Lori was out there and grabbed me and took me back in the house. Lori was one of the humans that used to come give my human a bath and she really liked us. She whispered some nice things in my ear then she rubbed me and put me down and that was it. My human has not come back and I guess he is not going to. It makes me sad because he was so good to me. I don’t think it is fair either. My other human is sad and people keep coming and going and crying. I don’t know what to do!  The other night I got up and pooped on the floor but that didn’t seem to help. It is sad over here. Will we ever get better? Will my human ever come back?!!?!
