14-4-2009 - My Poor Kitty Died

My mood while writing this blog: sad

I'd like to start off by saying that I have disliked cats my entire life. But last summer I got my kitty from a guy that found her on the side of the road. She was only about 6 weeks old when I got her, she was tiny! Well, I ended up loving her. She was the sweetest, most even tempered cat I've ever been around. She never hissed or clawed or growled ever. Well, today we decided to grill hamburgers because that has really been something I have wanted for the past couple days. We were out on the back deck and Bella wandered out there. We were watching her and everything and she was fine! Next, Mike's dog Rocky (part pittbull part doberman) comes around the house. They were fine, just sitting there in the shade together. Rocky has never hurt ANYTHING! Not even mice! We went inside for maybe 30 seconds and we hear this loud growl. Mike went and looked out the sliding door and started screaming at Rocky, put his shoes on and I started going after him. Next thing I heard was the dog yelp and then I saw Rocky running away. I then saw Bella just laying on the ground. I went up to her and said, "you're ok, Bella!" and she turned her head to me and hissed at me!! Then she saw that it was just me and started whining and her legs were just laying straight out behind her, they weren't moving. It was obvious her back was broken. And anytime we went to try to help her she would hiss so we knew not to mess with her. Mike had no choice but to put her down. I sobbed and cried and went inside and called my aunt all hysterical, and my poor aunt thought something was wrong with my baby! I just needed to call someone so I didn't hear a gun shot or anything like that. Well, that's the story of my day...could have been better! Sorry for rambling though lol.
