I was late for the school bus and rushing to get ready. My dog, Tippy, got to the front door and lay down in front of it – his way of asking to be petted. I______his begging for affection (喜爱), and ran for the waiting bus.
______, that afternoon, when I came home, Mom said to me______, “Honey, I have some______news that I need to tell you. This morning, while you were at school, Tippy was hit by a car and______. I’m so sorry.”
“No! It’s not true!” I was______. I couldn’t believe her. “Tippy, come here! Come on, boy!” I called and called for him. I waited. He didn’t come. Feeling______, I wandered into the living room. I didn’t cry that night. I still couldn’t believe that he was______.
When I got off the bus the next day, the silence at home was deafening.
, my sobs (哭泣) erupted (喷发) like lava (熔岩) from a volcano. I couldn’t stop______. I hadn’t even petted him when I left.______could I have known that was my last chance? I cried until I felt empty inside.
Time passed, and against my will, I started to______some things. I realized what little control any of us have over what happens ______ a dog. We can do everything right, but______things can still happen. But good things can happen too. That’s______. The best way to deal with the hard times is to understand what you
and get them through when they come, and to remember that hard times always______.
I now deeply understand the “circle of life”. Everyone is born, everyone______, and that’s the way it is. If dogs never died, there would be no______for others like Belle – my new dog.
Best of all, I realized that Tippy______all of my old memories of him. And they come to me every time I call!
