Best Friends

Friends are important in everybody's life. Life is dull without friends. True friends are the ones that are there for you during the happy and disappointing times in your life. It is hard when you lose a beloved friend. Recently I lost my best friend. She was always cheering me up when I was down. Even though she couldn’t talk back to me I knew that she understood, the way she leaned up against the look and me in her eyes cheered me up. She was a dog, a Golden retriever in fact. Her name is Mathilda. I was walking one day through the neighbor hood with her, she stepped in some really dangerous poison that was put out by some one to get rid of the stray dogs. She licked of her paw like all dogs would do it made her insides bleed, it made her throw up and she could not move. That night we took her to the vet. The next morning we retrieved a call that she didn’t make it through the night. I was so mad at myself that I took her on that walk.  I still can see her run around the pool coming to sit with me. No dog could ever replace her.  She will be my best friend forever.
