It was much sadness I write that my beloved Siren has left Earth. The feelings of guilt and hurt and anger are overwhelming right now. While we were on vacation I left Siren and Rumor with my best friend, who always watches them. Things went great for 3 days, my friend had just called me yesterday morning to inform me of Siren rolling horse manure and how badly he was going to need a bath. I laughed picturing him having a ball, a mini vacation of his own.

Later that evening she called me in hysterics to inform me she found Siren dead. It appears Siren got out of his kennel and one of her pitbulls killed him. That news is very hard to absorb. Siren had played with them a ton of times. I totally trusted them and they lived with her 3 poodles with no problems. Siren had stayed there mulitple times a year. I don't know what happened. I'm sure I don't really want to know either.

I miss him, I miss him licking my tears off my cheek as they roll down. Siren had unconditional love for me (and for anyone who would take it). He acted like it was the happiest time of his life each time he saw me. It didn't matter if walked around a corner and turned around. He stuck to me like glue which was annoying most the time. But right now I miss him being there. I miss the little dance his feet would do while waiting to be let out of his cage for the night. How he'd tried to sit and wait patiently for me to let him say good morning before running out the door. He'd sit and wiggle his tail thumping the floor his front feet coming off the ground as he tried as hard as he could to remain sitting. He trued so hard to make me happy every time I asked. You could look into his eyes and see all the energy he had waiting to pour out.

I'm finding it hard to go on today. I'm sure it's lack of sleep. Explaining the death to my kids is hard. All our other pets were old or sick. This was sudden and a 6 year old refuses to accept that in the wild dogs fight and death happens.. At this point I suppose it's not helping me much either. He will be greatly missed by everyone in our family, he was a good dog or at least tried very hard to be.
