post #5 The Loss Of My Baby Boy
The Loss Of My Baby Boy
All of this started when I went to work with my Stepmom and Sister. Their name’s are Martha and Katie. My stepmom yelled at me and my sister to go clean the horse pens. We walked over to the pens and started to clean but my sister started petting the horse. My sister stated, Jen, hurry up you lazy bum. I just kind of gave her the stupid look and yelled back, I am the one working, all your doing is petting the horse
The next thing I knew I was spun around and slapped in the face which dropped me to the ground. I looked up and saw my stepmom pointing to the work shop. Go clean your self up she yelled as she pulled my arm to get me up faster. At first I didn’t know what she meant, then I noticed my nose was hurting so I put my hand on it and looked at my hand and it was covered in blood. I ran to the bathroom to stop the blood; because I cant stand to see blood. When I was all done I walked out of the bathroom only to see my stepmom standing there holding a box with holes in the top. The first thing she said to me, before she handed me the box was, Hey I’m sorry I didn’t mean to hit you that hard. Here this is your dads birthday gift.
I took the box, walked to the house where we were working and went inside and closed the door. I set the box down and started to open it. When I opened it I looked down inside and I saw a little puppy looking back at me. AWW, was all I could say. I picked up the puppy and feed, watered, and played with him until I got home. When we got home my dad was sitting in his chair watching TV. My stepmom handed the puppy to my dad who just said Mituck and put him on the floor to play, so Mituck was his name. When Mituck say a dog food bag with a puppy face on it he started to get really crazy.
Later we had to throw the bag away and Mituck got really sad so we got another bag just for him. He played with it for about two more days. When it was time for bed I asked my dad if Mituck could sleep with me. He said, sure go ahead. My stepmom didn’t like that answer and started yelling saying No! Ignoring her I picked up the little puppy and went to my room to play with him. My sister was yelling at me, I want to play with him now! I said No! and stuck my tongue out at her. She left the room very angry at me. I turned the light off then said good night to Mituck and went to sleep.
I woke up to my stepmom yelling. I looked around for the puppy but I didn’t see him, I panicked and ran to where my stepmom was. When I got there, I looked down and saw the puppy playing with a dog food bag. I laughed. When I looked up to see what my stepmom was yelling at; I commented I should have known. She was yelling at the game she was playing. I was relieved . She wasn’t mad at the puppy and then I went and cleaned up last nights puppy messes.
I loved playing with the puppy everyday. My dad suggested I train him so day in and day out I would play games with him while training him. It only took eight months and he could do everything: sit, stay and lay down and many more. The thing he was best at was finding people. All I had to do was say the name of the person or animal I wanted him to find and he would show me where they were.
One day Mituck got sick, he wouldn’t eat or drink for about three days. I was so scared but eventually he got all better. My stepmom’s dog also got sick but her dog died so she got mad and jealous and made me move to my Grandma’s. I took Mituck with me. We had so much fun up at Grandmas. One day my stepmom called me and told me to come down to her house, she wanted to show me something. I told my Grandma that I was going. She said, Be careful honey. Repeating it more then once.
I took Mituck to my stepmoms house sinceI feared my stepmom might hit me again and Mituck would protect me by biting her again. When I got down to my stepmoms house I noticed my stepmom pointing a gun at something in my direction. BANG! was all I heard, it was so loud I closed my eyes and covered my ears. When I opened my eyes I saw her smiling. I looked down to see Mituck on his side bleeding. I fell to my knees and put my hands over the wound trying to stop the blood but I was not succeeding. I ripped my shirt sleeve off and applied it to the wound. Within five seconds the cloth was soaked with blood. I looked up because I noticed my stepmom walking toward me with the gun. She pointed it at Mitucks head. I started screaming Go away, what the hell is wrong with you! I kept screaming, she said This is all your fault Jen, I told you that you shouldn’t have happiness in your life and if you do bad things like this will happen! Then she shot him in the head and turned and walked into her house.
I heard my Grandma yelling, What’s goi…What the heck happened… Jen are you alright! I just continued to sit with him in my arms hoping and praying he would be okay even though I already knew he was gone.
