Where the red fern goes

I'm sure we have all had to read the book "where the red fern grows" at some point in our lives. If you haven't , it's a heart wrenching story about a boy and his dog with an ending that is sure to make you cry your eyes out.

Well here is a story of a girl and her dog. I've had Sophie for two years now. She was found on the side of the road and was rescued weighing only one pound and covered with ringworm. She was scared of people and abused in her last home. She was a sad little dog but there was something about her that I just couldn't say no. Now you should know that I have a huge soft spot for dogs and I am in trouble when my children start asking for one. The answer will probably always be yes. So after spending every day for a week taking care of her and never leaving her side , she began to trust me. We became fast friends and I loved her so much.

However two years passed and my sweet Madison came into my life. Sophie had to take a back seat to you and she was very jealous. Things got worse as the months went on and the dog started acting out for attention. This was NOT ok. So after much thought, we decided Sophie needed to live out her days with someone who would love her unconditionally. We found Fern. The sweetest old lady you could ever meet. It was the hardest thing to do but no matter what happens in life, my children will always come first.
