[hometext] => My parents got a dog five months before their only child was born. The child and the dog loved each other with a love that was more than love. In summer, eight years and eleven months after the child was born, the dog died. His name was Seamus.
[bodytext] => I see you from the corner of my eye. Sitting there and wagging your tail. A barrier comes between the tears and my cheeks. They say you are gone but they are wrong. You stay with me. You guard me against crying in school. I need that and you know it. You would nuzzle me, lick my hand. I would feel it in my body and my soul. My clothes never moved at your touch. Your body was givin to the flames. The urn in a bookcase. Your soul lives with me. I see you less. I think I need you less. I still love you. You are my first love. I wish I could have been there for you. I hate that vacation. That call we got. Telling me the lie that you were gone. It has been four years and a few months since those words were pounded out and seen with blurred eyes. I saw him less and less. My love did not diminish. A year and a half ago, The parents got another german shepard. Frodo. My friends wonder why I dislike him. I am always glaring and putting him down. I have reason. My Seamus is gone. He no longer comes to see me. I thnk of him and my mind shows me Frodo. I still love my dog, but he has not come to me. Not for a year. And a half, to be exact. I put on a face for mom. She gets angry when I act like my feelings for Frodo are less than adoration. I must go. I can't see the screen.
