Putting my dog down+ memory day

Before I get into the sad part, I have a back story to tell. Several special things have happened to me on May 18th, which is today.
- 2008: First communion
-2009: Big project at school due
2012: Multiple big projects at school due
2015: Practice test for a test that we had to pass to graduate from high school, which I passed on my first try!
2017: I was invited to a small award ceremony at school (which I totally forgot about!)
2018: Got my driver's liscense
2019: I got a job today! (Crew member at Hardee's!) Also, I'm Catholic and we had a special event called the "May Crowning" at our church today!
I found out last year that the Monday between May 18-25 is a day in Canada that celebrates the birthday of Queen Victoria, and Victoria is my middle name. I wonder if I'm going to die one year on May 18!

Anyway, now for bad news.
Over the last few weeks, one of my dogs, who is more than 13 years old now in human years (and is probably almost as old as me, even older perhaps, since I'm 19!) Over the last few years, he walks with a limp, he drinks a lot (he used to only drink from a creek nearby, but now he freqently drinks and he will drink any water he finds! We think he's diabetic!), and he just seems confused. Over the last few weeks, his limp is worse than ever and he howls in pain. We are planning to have him put down tomorrow. My mom says she would have had it done today, but that would have ruined my memory day! (That's what I call May 18 due to reasons I discussed above.) Our neighbors came over and agree with putting him down. (He's not technically OUR dog, but the person who adopted him died in early 2000's and he has wandered around the neighborhood since that time.) We will be sad to let him go, but glad he will be pain free. I couldn't help but think it will happen almost a year after Sophia Gall died. I will post about that on May 31.
