I remember the day we first got Bones. When I went to work, we didn't have a dog... but when I came back there was an adorable basset hound puppy in our laundry room. When I saw him, he just looked up at me with his little puppy eyes, and I fell in love with him right there. I picked him up and carried him around the house with me. I even called my friend, Bob and told him all about my new puppy. I think the voicemail I left sounded something like, "He has little puppy paws, and cute puppy breath, and a puppy whimper... i think I'll call him PUPPY!!"
Years later, even though we named him Bones... I still called him PUPPY and he responded to it. I had a strong bond with him that no one else in the family had. Mom said when I came home, he would go crazy. He'd wag his tail so hard that his whole body would shake. And he couldn't wait until I came inside to pet him and kiss him. He didn't do that when anyone else but me came home though.
I've only cared about one other animal as much as I loved Bones, and that was the Basset we had throughout most of my childhood, Abby. That's why I was so upset when I got a text from Jessica that our dogs, Charlie and Bones were both dead.
Our dogs had a habit of running away a lot... but they always come back eventually. When I let them out at 5pm yesterday, they took a little bit longer than usual to come back. But, I figured it was because they'd been stuck in the house for so long because of all the ice lately. So, when Jessica got home, I told her to watch for them and I left for the Ludo concert. A few hours later, as I was singing and dancing during Treaty of Paris' set, Jessica sent me the text.
I immediately ran outside and called her. She was crying hard. She said that when Mom came home, Jessica and Mom went looking for them. They found them a few roads down from our house, dead on the side of the street. They'd both been hit by a car. I hung up the phone and started screaming. I told Jenna and Aaron what happened as I tried to hold it together. That didn't last long, however... and I started crying and ran to the bathroom. Jenna followed me and hugged me while I bawled on the bathroom floor of The King of Clubs.
I cried a lot through the rest of the night, but I stayed for the whole show. I love Ludo, and my dogs were already dead. So, I didn't think it would help to leave and cry by myself over the loss of my dogs AND having to miss Ludo too. I think I made the right decision. I watched Ludo from upstairs because I didn't really feel like being front row in front of a lot of people. I only cried a little bit during their set. And all of Ludo hugged me. Andrew held me together and gave me a hoodie. I love him. I stopped crying for the rest of the night because Ludo cheered me up.
When I got home, the dogs were in the garage since we couldn't bury them that night. I sat next to my baby, Bones and cried my heart out and said my goodbyes.
The hardest part is knowing that he's never gonna be here to greet me when I come home late at night. I miss him already. He was quite the character but I loved him.
