My Precious Mary-Megan

My dogs name was Mary-Megan she was a very loving English Springer Spaniel.

It was July 4 2012 Mary Megan had to go to the vet she had pyometra so she had surgery to remove her uterus. She came back a week later good as new. She was 5 years old, she had human like eyes, extraordinary, she was trained well. She and I were like two peas in a pod.

It was July 13 Mary Megan was left alone with my Mom's boyfriend who lived with us. I had a 10 hour shift and my daughter was in placement for behavioral problems. So I came home from work gave Mary Megan her meds. She needed to be on antibiotics for a while anyway. She was happy, she was fed, had her walk, and then I went up to second floor to go to bed, it was about 11pm, she was perfectly fine.

My brother woke me up to tell me Mary Megan was dead. My Mom's boyfriend killed my dog at approximately 3 am. She was given a lethal dose of her antibiotics and he had dog Zanax for his mean dog. Well he gave it all to my dog he removed my precious dog at 4 am without my permission. Took her back to same vet they did toxicology on her they said impossible for her to have died. He killed my dog. I'm sorry Mary Megan I should of carried you upstairs, I should of stayed awake all night. I needed you here. I miss you so much. I sometimes scream to see if you would come back to me.
