A Dog's Diary

July 23rd, 2010, My dads family had just adopted a small puppy, named Lana. Which as a small gift on my dads birthday in 2011 was gifted to him. 

      (August 11th - 27th, 2021; Sometime around then)

Lana scoured around with her toy throwing it around, her back legs still not working despite everything the humans had tried. A sort of wheelchair, Medicine everything. It could just be of old age or… really, anything.

(Around Aug. 28th- Sep. 1st) 

They had put my paw into a clay mold and scanned it under a machine! When it came it had an imprint of my paw on the clay. It was really interesting, and they hung the clay imprint next to a cabinet… My favorite toy was in that cabinet!

        (Around Sep. 2nd)

They had put me in a cage, something I hadn't been in for a long time. I had gotten in the car which I was only in on special occasions. We got to a … clinic? They laid me on a bed like a sheet. Everything went black from there.
