January 9th
Thursday, January 3, 2008: I can't stop thinking about next Wednesday, January 9th. That is the first anniversary of my dog Rubio's death.I remember sitting up with him most of that night and early morning. I had to have him put down and I didn't want to do it because his situation was getting worse and worse. My German shepherd had stopped walking on December 28th. He didn't want to go yet, but when the vet tried everything and nothing worked, I had to make the awful decision to let him out of his misery.I will never forget the way he looked spread out on the yellow bed sheet as they gave him the needle. A giant struck down by lightning.
This year I will be worrying about something else that day. January 9th is the date of my civil case. I am being sued in Norfolk, VA over a $1,200 old credit card debt. What will I tell the judge except the truth? I can't pay. Not because I don't want to, but because I just can't.
