Room 9 is feeling sad today as we say goodbye to a friend. Alex's dog, Colin was sadly put to sleep last night. This is what Alex would like to say about his friend.
He was my dad's first baby, I was his second. We have another dog called Alvin and he and Colin were best friends. When Colin was a baby he went to puppy pre-school. He learnt how to roll over, do high fives and play dead. When Colin was a puppy he tore up the toilet paper all over the kitchen! Because he is a Fox Terrier, Dad bought him a toy rabbit. It lasted two days and when Mum and Dad came home it was already torn to pieces. When he was ten years old Colin got bit by another dog and had to have stitches just like me. While playing with his best friend, Colin twisted his leg. The vet said that he should be put down but Colin lasted a few more years. This time Colin was too old and in too much pain, we could see him limping. The kindest thing to do was to put Colin to sleep. I will miss Colin and I will remember him as a puppy, in the snow with his jacket on. - Alex
