Ena was a wonderful dog. Full of love, happiness and energy. We got her at the dog pound and from that point on she helped to complete our family. She was a beautiful chocolate lab about one when we adopted her. She always offered a tail wag whenever you entered the room and always needed all the attention on her. One thing that was especially cute about her was whenever she was in trouble or thought she was she would always give you this squinty eye look and continually blink. Or when you first walked in to the room, she would always jump on you to try and hug you or get close to your face. Ena got along with our other pets but she always would choose a nice pat from a person. I remember the first time we took Ena to a dog water park. A park with access to water for dogs to swim in but is still fenced in. She loved running to the water jumping in a little bit following our other dog. There was a man sitting at another bench and every few minutes she would run and jump in his lap then run back to the water and get wet. She went back and forth to this man several times. The man was really nice and joking about it. And I also remember the last time I took her to the park. My yellow lab and Ena were running back in forth chasing a stick in the water and one of the last times I threw it for them they actually grabbed the stick together and brought it back in like that. It was very cute, now I wish I had taken a photo. That was two weeks ago. What happened this past Sunday broke my heart. I was watching a friends farm for her and took my 3 dogs out with me and my boyfriend. Well my boyfriend decided to go back in town early, taking our yellow and black lab. I decided to keep Ena with me. I ended up going out with a friend for dinner that night and to get some movies. When my friend and I came back we couldn't find her. We went throught the pasture looking for her (the friends house I was watching is 15 acres), calling her name. After a few minutes we took the car and went to try to find her. My friends house I was watching unfortunately is located on a main highway, and as I was driving down it I saw that Ena was struck by a car and died instantly. She was only about 2 years old... I regret a lot about that night, choices made, etc. but what I regret the most is never realizing until that night how much I loved that dog.. Ena always had an open heart for everybody, a wag of the tail, a lick on the face and all she ever wanted in return was love. She was one of the sweetest dog I have ever owned and I would give anything to have her back. I could probably continue writing for the next week about how wonderful she was and tell all the the little stories she did but it was hard enough for me to write this much without breaking down and crying again. I will say that her death has hit me more then anyother animal I have ever owned and will miss her very deeply. I also know I could never replace that sweet animal but I will always remember her for what she was: Full of love, energy, and beauty....
