WHEN THE NEED ARISES
It starts with a certain look, and you know it’s over. That’s how it is with Annie and me.
Without saying a word, she tells me what I don’t want to hear. We’ve both suffered too long and she needs to be free.
As we hike to our favorite mountain spot to say goodbye I envision life without her.
“Wish you didn’t have to go, Annie.”
She wags her tail, and feebly licks my hand. I caress her head, press the muzzle of my pistol against it and pull the trigger.
Whoever said men don’t cry was full of shit.
