When I heard Sesame's Street's idea of changing Cookie Monster to Veggie Monster.
Or when I was a carefree six year old with my little friend Joey over. Our dog, Freska, an eleven year old husky and German shepard mix, was chained outside. She was a really nice dog and loved our family but her age took a tole, and she was blind at the time. So, my friend being some sort of supreme intellect decided it would be fun to walk up to her a poke her with a stick. After what I'm guessing five stabs, Freska lashes out and bites Joey in the stomach. I'm not sure what happened afterward, if we got sued or not, but I know two details: first Joey got some surgery and had to be fed with tubes for I-don't-know-how-long (he may still have them, he moved away maybe a year after the incident, not that I cared, he wasn't the funnest friend), second that we had to give away Freska. I remember, all of us packed into a minivan, with Freska, driving to the farm for half an hour, then saying good-bye to Freska forever.
We got another dog, Louie, a whippet-Border Collie mix, three years later from my aunt who kept moving because of my uncle's job and couldn't keep him. He's like nine right now, and he's pretty good. Actually, tomorrow will be the three-year anniversery of getting my dog, a little Jack Rusell-Fox Terrior mix.
Just a little happy note, for all the depressions.
