My last selfie with her a month before she died.

I adopted her when she was young. I don't know how old she was. But she was still a puppy I know that.

Her original name was Julie. We had to change it, my aunt's name is Julie we didn’t want to get confused. So we changed it to Midnight. Midnight was a sweet girl, she was my favorite dog. I had other dogs at the time. Come to think of it, I had a lot at the time. I had Dallas, my Bullmastiff. I had Buddy, my Corgi. And I don't recall, if I had Paris at the time, but I know she wasn't around then. Paris was my Boxer. Anyway, back to Midnight. The story went, that my dad had known two college girls, they found her in a pool an empty pool she was whining, wanting to get out. So the girls, told my father, he said, and I quote “Oh my wife, she's good with dogs we’ll take care of her until we can find her home.”

But that didn't happen, I got attached to her, and my mom said. “We have so many dogs already, we have to give her home.”

“But what about here?” I asked. “She seems very happy here. You adopted me and kept me why can't we keep her, she needs a home just as much as I did.”

And with that she gave in.

We kept Midnight for ourselves. Years went by, and she's the greatest dog ever. I love her so much. She was just a sweet, sweet girl. It broke my heart when she had to go. But before that, whenever we had parties, she was the star of the show. Every summer, when we had a party, we would tell her to go to dive for a toy in the pool. We did it in the shallow end because we didn’t want her to you know drown. And she would get them, she was a good diver.

She was here for a while, I’d say she was here about, I got her when I'd say I was 13. She was with us for a good eight years, maybe more. I love her, I still do, even though she's gone I still miss her. She was truly an Angel. I would cuddle her, talk to her tell her everything. And she would listen. I would talk to her, like John Grogan talked to Marley, since they’re the same breed. She's a very good listener, even though she was nothing like Marley like in the movie.

She's worlds sweetest dog and I love her so much. It still hurts me to write this. I'm legit tearing up as I’m dictating. I have I have the typing dictation on. Because I knew I couldn't type it, I had to say it. I felt it was an easier way to do this. I'd say the day before she died, I knew she had to go she just had those eyes, and they told me, “Mama, I have to go I'm sorry I love you so much, but I can't do this anymore put me out of my misery.” So I did— my mom had called in the vet it was snowing like crazy out but the woman still came. We wanted to do it at home, we didn’t want to go to a vet in the freezing cold weather. So a woman came to the house, she asked us if we wanted to go through with it. We said it was the best thing for her. We didn't want her to suffer anymore. So we said our goodbyes.

We said we loved her and that we would always love her. Her sister Mia was with her. Mia is our current dog now, she around when Midnight was little. Mia grew up around her. As I was saying, we said our goodbyes and so did Mia. The woman gave her the shot. We cried like crazy— me, I was bawling, I knew it was the right thing for her. But I just wasn't ready to let her go.

So that's it, I guess that's the story of my baby my beautiful dog Midnight. I love her so much.
