Yesterday started out at school and ended at the movies. Yesterday me and some of my friends went and watched The Matrix: Reloaded. It was a really cool movie. Not better than the first, but still it was a cool movie.

Then I came home last night (well, really today because it was 1 in the morning) and found my mother crying. She was on the phone talking to the Vet. My lifetime companion passed away last night. He would have turned 13 years old on November 2nd. His death was so sudden. He was well loved and he died peacefully. As explained to me by my mother, he went to my mother and put his head in her lap, she let him outside, and he went and laid in the grass. There he stayed for a few minutes breathing heavlily. He then crawled into his doghouse. My mother knew something wasn't right, and woke up my dad. He went to look at him, where he pushed his nose out the door of the doghouse. He stayed there for a few minutes, pulled his nose back in and went. I believe there is a reason everything happens, and he went into the doghouse (he never goes in there unless it is winter) for a reason. I believe I was delayed getting home, for a reason. He was my best friend, and I got him when I was 6 years old entering into the first grade, and now I am about to graduate in a couple weeks. Zipper saw me all the way through school (growing up really), and he will be missed. He was always there. Our relationship was never that of a master and his dog, but that of a dog and his boy. Goodbye with love my friend, pal, brother, and confidant. (If I ever get a hold of a scanner I will post a picture of him, because he really was a beautiful dog.)
