One day, many years ago, back when I was a 6 year old cubbie, I came home from school to find a tawny dog in the backyard, similar in size to cub Simba. She was a young stray at the time, but my parents let me keep her.
Although I was frightened by her spastic barking at first, she quickly became my best friend. Every night, when I went to sleep I would call her name and she would come running to lay on my bed. I would pet her, and she would keep me company throughout the night.
However, as the years passed, I began to lose my attachment to her. Sometime in 2007 I realized that I, and the rest of my family, were not giving her the love and attention she deserved. Shortly after, in 2008, we found her a new home.
And, today, I check my inbox to find that she died last night. This doesn't surprise me. The last time I saw her, she was about 10 years old and showing her age, and that was over 3 years ago. I guessed that she probably died already. Although I know I'd never see her again anyway, and that she's lived a long, happy life (for a mutt), the thought still kinda gets to me. More than I thought it would.

@Regulus: Awww! At least she had a long happy life, alot of animals in her situation never get that chance 
Good on you for taking her on and finding her a new home when you couldn't care for her any more xxx She was a lucky little one.
I'm thinking....meh. My sister is so selfish and she drives me crazy.

When my friend texts me things like "I'm stuffed." and quite obviously wants me to ask what she ate. Sorry but I don't care.
