my eyes widen and my lip quivers before i kneel down on the side of the table. i cry and my body shakes with my sobs as i softly pet the now deceased dog that everyone loved so dearly. i close my eyes and plant my face into my hands. i feel a hand on my shoulder but i dont look up to see who it is. "do you want a paw?" someone asks me. "what?" i say looking up with mascara streaming down my face. "a paw" the hell is a paw? "um sure." i say and beth leaves the room. i look back at mazie and take off her collar, crying as i remove it from her neck. "sweetie... im so sorry." one of the other nurses, regina, says as she now places her hand on my shoulder.
beth returns with a bag of clay and sets it on the counter before hanging a white sign on the door and closing it. i watch her as she takes out the clay and shapes it into a circle in the palm of her hand. "so whats a paw?" i ask sniffing with my eyes red. "a print of your dogs paw. so you can have them with you forever." beth says walking over and placing the clay over mazie's left paw. i watch her, softly letting the gentle tears run down my face.
when the clay is removed form mazie's paw, it is set on the counter to dry and her name is carved into it, along with a hole for a string to hang it. "where's the officer?" i ask softly. "she's out in the lobby." beth replies. "can you get her?" i ask. "of course." beth says with an apologetic look on her face. when she leaves the room i bring my attention back to mazie. i hug her an kiss her head. i stay in that position for a minute before officer jess appears. "you needed me?" jess says. "she's dead." i say. jess looks at the dog and softens her gaze. she walk over to me and wraps an arm around my shoulders and gives me a side hug. "im really sorry." she says and looks at beth.
beth gabs the now dry clay and her collar and a few other things and takes them into another room. i watch as she returns with a beautiful lilac colored box with a ribbon. "here." beth says giving it to me. im assuming it has all of mazie's thing in it, but i dont risk crying again if i open it and look at them. officer jess's radio alerts that they need her back at the house. she looks at me and i nod. "i'll meet you in the car but be quick please." she instructs and i nod once more before she leaves. i run over to mazie and hold her in my arms for a minute before laying her back in her resting place, kissing her and walking towards the door.
"wait!" nurse ella calls after me. i turn around and she walks over. "we need the owners number to know what they want to do with her." she says nervously. i sigh and give her the number "..1215" i finish. "thanks sweetie." she says and i rush out the door and into the cop car. i noticed a few people curiously looking at me but i ignore them. the drive is silent as we head back towards the house. we arrive and i immediately hop out of the car and run to the backyard and climb into the treehouse.
