Shane and I walked down the sidewalk towards ticket office at the theater. "What do you wanna see?" he asked politely. I shrugged. "Not something mooshy, I can't sit through all that romance," I laughed. He smiled, "Well what about a comedy?" "OK," I agreed. "Two please," The office person handed him the tickets and then we went and got popcorn and sodas and went to the movie.
"So like um, when did you guys move to Canada?" He asked. "Like this winter, from Montana," I sighed. "That's cool, my uncle used to live there but then he moved to Los Angeles," "That's cool<" i nodded.
When shane dropped me off, it was sorta weird. "Like I guess I'll see you lata," I smiled enthusiastically. "Yeah,' he smiled. I jumped out of the car and walked inside.
"How was it?" My mom asked when I got in. "Awkward, we didn't have anything to talk about," I said shortly. "Except horses," She smiled. "How's Elmer doing?" I asked changing the subject (since she wants to date a dumb jock). "He's doing just fine," she smiled softly. "No he isn't, tell me the truth," I spat angrily. "Sam, I don't think it'll be long," she said woftly. Tears spilled down my cheeks. First off I felt bad because Shane wanted to have fun tonight but i was like all airy and second of all, then entire time we were out I could only think of how Elmer was doing and when the date would finally end. "Mom Please don't let him die," I cuddled with her. she rocked me. "Oh Sam, why don't you go talk to him, he's sleeping in the kitchen," she soothed. I nodde dand walked intot he kitchen. Elmer's tail wagged, I smiled and wiped my eyes.
"Hey boy," I said scratching his belly. he groaned. "You need to get better sweet boy, I love you so much. And I can't live without you," I kissed his nose. he whined i stared at the needles in his little stubby legs and the tube in his nose. I looked mournfully at the machines helping keep my poor dog alive. "Elmer, You have to get better! If you leave me I might not ever get another dog!" I sobbed I laid down next to him and held him realy close. "Elmer please," I wimpered he licked my nose I laughed and kissed his wet nose. "Stay with me," I murmered tiredly and I guess I fell alseep on the kitchen floor.

*Okay Real life Elmer is REALLY sick, we aren't sure why at first we thought he had stomach cancer but my mom took some blood tests and even got second opinons and that isn't it. Apparently though it's not because he's fat. So I might not be on so much because of softball and because I'll be at the hospital more with Elmer. I'm so scared we'll have to put him to sleep. It kills seeing him lying there with his happy eyes but he's so sick too and he's in such pain and it also kills becaus e he's always happy to see me nd I think he's fight for his life just for me and I hate that!*

I'm so sorry, Sammy. That's really awful about Elmer. I'm definitely rooting for him! I know how hard it is to lose a pet and I hope you don't have to deal with that because Elmer seems like an awesome dog! =)
