We brought him to Rehoboth beach with us and everywhere else we went. Florida, Pennsylvania, everywhere. He really was my best friend.
As he started to get older, he also started to get sick. We couldn’t figure out what was wrong. We frequently took him to the vet, but they told us they didn’t understand why his symptoms were occurring, and they gave him OTC (Over the Counter) medicine. One day when I came home from school,

I thought it would be okay moving there, but they're so annoying, doing there kid stuff and writing skate boards which I've done myself and probably annoyed many people so I didn't tell them anything.

I wanted it to be very attention grabbing with a twist, but I also wanted it to be very emotional.…
