Add an additional rebate (退还款) from Colorado’s largest power provider, a resident buying a new plug-in car could soon save a head-spinning $26,500.
That’s no mistake.
Colorado’s current $5,000 tax credit (免税额度) is already the most generous state-level incentive (激励)available to all residents. With additional programs set to go live in the next few months, the state is now determined to test the full power of EV (Electric Vehicle) discounts — a pillar of the statewide plan to reduce carbon emissions. Gov. Jared Polis is betting the strategy can help reach a goal of putting nearly a million plug-in vehicles on the road by 2030.
Here’s CPR’s guide to all of Colorado’s current and upcoming electric vehicle discounts:

When Dink NeSmith heard that his friend Ralph Maxwell, due to health issues, was shutting down his weekly newspaper, The Oglethorpe Echo, he was determined to prevent the nearly 150-year-old publication from being forgotten.
Both NeSmith and Maxwell are long-time residents of a small county, Oglethorpe, just east of Athens. They have known each other for almost 50 years. NeSmith has also been contributing a column to The Echo ever since he moved to Oglethorpe County.
Maxwell’s father bought The Oglethorpe Echo in 1956, but the newspaper has been around since 1874. It’s a record of everything from local weddings to major changes in the legislature.
NeSmith looked up at the ceiling of the office, searching for an answer. Then, inspiration struck. He called Charles Davis, dean of the University of Georgia’s Henry W. Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication. “I’ve got an idea,” NeSmith told him. “I want to turn The Oglethorpe Echo into a real-life experience for the future journalists at the Grady College.”
Davis loved the idea, and he and NeSmith built a sustainable business model for the future of The Oglethorpe Echo. They developed a capstone course with The Echo as its foundation. Students experience a working newsroom which acts as a springboard (跳板) into their careers.
At the same time, The Echo, which normally functioned with a single reporter, gained a revolving team of eager student journalists.
Of course, they needed someone to run the newspaper. So Andy Johnston joined in. He was the adviser for The Red & Black from 2018 to 2021, and familiar with working with students and had an extensive journalism background. Most importantly, he believed in the project.
He teams up with Amanda Bright, who teaches the course. Bright, a community journalist for her whole career at everything from midsize dailies to digital startups, helped create new digital platforms for The Echo, including an email newsletter, four social channels, and an updated website.
4. What can the new newspaper provide to the UGA students?
A. A platform to express their views. B. A practical journalism course.
C. A chance for hands-on experience. D. An excellent job opportunity.
5. What do you think of Dink NeSmith?
A. Ambitious. B. Creative. C. Sympathetic. D. Sensitive.
6. What breathed new life into the nearly 150-year-old newspaper?
A. Quality. B. Inspiration. C. Money. D. Cooperation.
7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Small Town, Big News B. The Echo, The Course
C. Old Paper, New Column D. The News, The Friendship

What is Ozempic face? A term you probably shouldn’t use.
The medication (药) Ozempic has taken the world by storm—largely due to rumored use by some celebrities and the wealthy thanks to its weight loss effects.
But some physicians want to shift this narrative.
Ozempic was originally developed for the treatment of Type-2 diabetes (糖尿病), but it has also been shown to cause weight loss—which led to the approval of Wegovy. It’s the same medication as Ozempic, but is taken and administered only for the purpose of weight loss.
These medications have the potential to improve the health and lives of many people. While they can have some side effects, they do not cause “Ozempic face” — a term that’s been increasing in popularity but experts say is unfounded.
Ozempic face is not a medical term and is generally not a problem for people who have taken the medication appropriately. It is a term that has been used by some people to describe the appearance of sagging (下垂的) skin after weight loss.
Does Ozempic change your face? No. Ozempic itself does not cause over loss of weight in the face. But, if someone loses a lot of weight in a short amount of time, most often when they weren’t overweight or obese to begin with, they may have a gaunt (憔悴的) appearance.
Dr. Judy Korner, a Professor of Medicine at Columbia University, says the negative remarks about what one’s face looks like after weight loss is part of a pattern of abuse against obese patients.
“What’s been going on (with Ozempic) is the focus on people who are using it inappropriately. And it’s making a mockery out of obesity, which is a disease,” she says. “We now are finally having medications that can effectively target this disease, and the focus is completely on the wrong thing instead of focusing on the people who are taking the medication correctly and whose health has been improved because of that.”
8. How does Ozempic attract the attention of the world today?
A. By its weight lose effects. B. By its extremely efficient effect.
C. By celebrities’ wide use of it. D. By doctors’ expert explanations.
9. Why is Wegovy mentioned in the text?
A. To prove Ozempic’s popularity. B. To show Ozempic’s development.
C. To mention Ozempic’s purpose. D. To indicate Ozempic’s minor effect.
10. What should a reader do after reading the text?
A. Try to enjoy Ozempic’s side effect. B. Take Ozempic correctly if necessary.
C. Take Ozempic to lose his weight. D. Stop worrying about Ozempic face.
11. What is the purpose of the text?
A. For introduction. B. For recommendation.
C. For clarification. D. For promotion.
D
Dear two-footed creatures who live on me,
Earth here. You know the wildly unique planet that had just the right mix of conditions to allow human life.
Just wanted to pop in for a second and see if you’ve noticed a few changes in me lately, ones that might... oh, I don’t know... maybe persuade you to stop recklessly destroying the earth.
I mean, I know you all are busy driving large SUVs on me and filling my oceans with plastic and whatnot — and hey, I am NOT being judgmental — but I would appreciate it if you’d maybe take a moment and think: “Hey, is Earth trying to tell us something?”
Like all those wildfires in Canada right now. You know, the ones that have already given Chicago and New York City some of the worst air quality in the world a couple of times this summer?
You think I want to burn down my own forests? I worked hard on those things. It’s like growing a nice beard and then having a bunch of people who live on your face come along and set it on fire. Not cool, guys.
Sorry, I didn’t mean to yell. It’s just... like I don’t know how many more ways I can tell you to be responsible with me. I thought seeing a few giant blocks of ice break off the polar ice caps and crash into the already rising ocean might make you displeased to think: “OK, maybe I don’t need to drive my Hummer to a store that’s two blocks away.”
I’m honestly running out of patience with you humans. And where else do you think you’re gonna go, the moon? I’ve seen the billionaires you think will take you there, and I’m not loving your chances.
So c’mon, be reasonable surface residents and start recognizing the signs and showing me a little respect. Your time is very much running out.
Whatever happens, you won’t be able to say I didn’t warn you.
Sincerely,
— Earth
12. What does the earth think humans should do right now?
A. Find other planets to live on. B. Walk to stores instead of driving a car.
C. Stop the sea level from rising. D. Take Earth’s warning seriously and act.
13. What does the underlined word “recklessly” in paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A. With the use of great force. B. Without any awareness.
C. Regardless of the consequences. D. Through good organization.
14. Why does the earth think humans should protect the earth?
A. The earth is an extremely small plant. B. The earth is the only suitable living place.
C. The other planets are too far away. D. It is too inconvenient to live on the moon.
15. What does paragraph 5 mainly want to tell us?
A. Humans should be blamed for the wildfires in Canada.
B. The earth feels sorry that it couldn’t protect its forests.
C. The bear d is as important for a human being as a forest.
D. Both beard and a forest are important for human beings.

I was still at school, when dad arrived home with a homeless dog. Her tail wagged all the way. Mom and dad fed her and gave her a bath. I had always wanted a dog. My parents told me when I was old enough and responsible, I could have one. Well I guess they figured the time was right.
I hopped off the bus, not knowing what awaited inside for me. I walked through the door, and to my surprise a white and black puppy with a red bow stuck to her head, greeted me with many many puppy kisses. A very special friendship was born that day.
Now she needed a name. My older brother laughed at her and said her tail was special. It doesn’t wag its tail back and forth, it goes in a circle. He motioned his finger around his ear. “She’s squirrely”, he said. Thus my puppy, Squirrely got her name. She was a smart dog. I taught her to play hide and seek. We would play for hours, spending our days learning and growing together.
Eleven years we were together, best of friends. Illnesses and old age set in on her. My parents knew what had to be done, but they stood back and let me find and make the decision myself.
She was suffering so much and the medicine didn’t seem to help anymore. She could barely walk. I looked into those deep brown eyes and realized it was time to let her go.
I carried her into the vet’s (兽医的) office, placed her on the table. Squirrely leaned her head forward, gave a lick to my hand. As if to say she understood, and stay strong. Her tail was wagging in that circle as it always did.
The vet gave her a sedative (镇静剂) first, for the final shot was given on her front paw, and that was painful. She went to sleep, but her tail still wagged.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
Then the vet asked before giving the final shot, “Are you sure?” _

I didn’t go back to her grave for many years, but recently I went.

When Dink NeSmith heard that his friend Ralph Maxwell, due to health issues, was shutting down his weekly newspaper, The Oglethorpe Echo, he was determined to prevent the nearly 150-year-old publication from being forgotten.
Both NeSmith and Maxwell are long-time residents of a small county, Oglethorpe, just east of Athens. They have known each other for almost 50 years. NeSmith has also been contributing a column to The Echo ever since he moved to Oglethorpe County.
Maxwell’s father bought The Oglethorpe Echo in 1956, but the newspaper has been around since 1874. It’s a record of everything from local weddings to major changes in the legislature.
NeSmith looked up at the ceiling of the office, searching for an answer. Then, inspiration struck. He called Charles Davis, dean of the University of Georgia’s Henry W. Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication. “I’ve got an idea,” NeSmith told him. “I want to turn The Oglethorpe Echo into a real-life experience for the future journalists at the Grady College.”
Davis loved the idea, and he and NeSmith built a sustainable business model for the future of The Oglethorpe Echo. They developed a capstone course with The Echo as its foundation. Students experience a working newsroom which acts as a springboard (跳板) into their careers.
At the same time, The Echo, which normally functioned with a single reporter, gained a revolving team of eager student journalists.
Of course, they needed someone to run the newspaper. So Andy Johnston joined in. He was the adviser for The Red & Black from 2018 to 2021, and familiar with working with students and had an extensive journalism background. Most importantly, he believed in the project.
He teams up with Amanda Bright, who teaches the course. Bright, a community journalist for her whole career at everything from midsize dailies to digital startups, helped create new digital platforms for The Echo, including an email newsletter, four social channels, and an updated website.
4. What can the new newspaper provide to the UGA students?
A. A platform to express their views. B. A practical journalism course.
C. A chance for hands-on experience. D. An excellent job opportunity.
5. What do you think of Dink NeSmith?
A. Ambitious. B. Creative. C. Sympathetic. D. Sensitive.
6 What breathed new life into the nearly 150-year-old newspaper?
A. Quality. B. Inspiration. C. Money. D. Cooperation.
7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Small Town, Big News B. The Echo, The Course
C. Old Paper, New Column D. The News, The Friendship

What is Ozempic face? A term you probably shouldn’t use.
The medication (药) Ozempic has taken the world by storm—largely due to rumored use by some celebrities and the wealthy thanks to its weight loss effects.
But some physicians want to shift this narrative.
Ozempic was originally developed for the treatment of Type-2 diabetes (糖尿病), but it has also been shown to cause weight loss—which led to the approval of Wegovy. It’s the same medication as Ozempic, but is taken and administered only for the purpose of weight loss.
These medications have the potential to improve the health and lives of many people. While they can have some side effects, they do not cause “Ozempic face” — a term that’s been increasing in popularity but experts say is unfounded.
Ozempic face is not a medical term and is generally not a problem for people who have taken the medication appropriately. It is a term that has been used by some people to describe the appearance of sagging (下垂的) skin after weight loss.
Does Ozempic change your face? No. Ozempic itself does not cause over loss of weight in the face. But, if someone loses a lot of weight in a short amount of time, most often when they weren’t overweight or obese to begin with, they may have a gaunt (憔悴的) appearance.
Dr. Judy Korner, a Professor of Medicine at Columbia University, says the negative remarks about what one’s face looks like after weight loss is part of a pattern of abuse against obese patients.
“What’s been going on (with Ozempic) is the focus on people who are using it inappropriately. And it’s making a mockery out of obesity, which is a disease,” she says. “We now are finally having medications that can effectively target this disease, and the focus is completely on the wrong thing instead of focusing on the people who are taking the medication correctly and whose health has been improved because of that.”
8. How does Ozempic attract the attention of the world today?
A. By its weight lose effects. B. By its extremely efficient effect.
C. By celebrities’ wide use of it. D. By doctors’ expert explanations.
9. Why is Wegovy mentioned in the text?
A. To prove Ozempic’s popularity. B. To show Ozempic’s development.
C. To mention Ozempic’s purpose. D. To indicate Ozempic’s minor effect.
10. What should a reader do after reading the text?
A. Try to enjoy Ozempic’s side effect. B. Take Ozempic correctly if necessary.
C. Take Ozempic to lose his weight. D. Stop worrying about Ozempic face.
11. What is the purpose of the text?
A. For introduction. B. For recommendation.
C. For clarification. D. For promotion.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种治疗2型糖尿病的药Ozempic最近风靡全球,是因为它有减肥效果,专家澄清Ozempic不是减肥药,不会导致Ozempic脸。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The medication (药) Ozempic has taken the world by storm — largely due to rumored use by some celebrities and the wealthy thanks to its weight loss effects.(药物Ozempic风靡全球,很大程度上是因为一些名人和富人因其减肥效果而服用它。)”可知,Ozempic是通过它的减肥效果来吸引当今世界的注意力的。故选A项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Ozempic was originally developed for the treatment of Type-2 diabetes (糖尿病), but it has also been shown to cause weight loss—which led to the approval of Wegovy. It’s the same medication as Ozempic, but is taken and administered only for the purpose of weight loss.(Ozempic最初是为治疗2型糖尿病而开发的,但它也被证明可以减肥——这导致了Wegovy的批准。它和Ozempic是同一种药物,但只是为了减肥而服用。)”可知,Wegovy是一种减肥药,作者提及它是想说明Ozempic和它具有相同作用,都会引起体重下降,但这不是主要功能,表明Ozempic的轻微影响。故选D项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第六段“Ozempic face is not a medical term and is generally not a problem for people who have taken the medication appropriately. It is a term that has been used by some people to describe the appearance of sagging(下垂的) skin after weight loss.(Ozempic脸不是一个医学术语,一般来说,适当服用药物的人不会有问题。这是一个被一些人用来描述减肥后皮肤松弛的术语。)”可知,读者读完文章后可以必要时正确服用Ozempic。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“The medication (药) Ozempic has taken the world by storm—largely due to rumored use by some celebrities and the wealthy thanks to its weight loss effects.(药物Ozempic(药)风靡全球,主要是因为传言一些名人和富人使用它的减肥效果。)”和第三段“But some physicians want to shift this narrative.(但是一些医生想要改变这种说法。)”可知,作者先引出话题,然后通过权威医生对相关问题的解释,澄清了对于Ozempic的误解,所以本文的目的是为了澄清。故选C项。

Dear two-footed creatures who live on me,
Earth here. You know, the wildly unique planet that had just the right mix of conditions to allow human life.
Just wanted to pop in for a second and see if you’ve noticed a few changes in me lately, ones that might... oh, I don’t know... maybe persuade you to stop recklessly destroying the earth.
I mean, I know you all are busy driving large SUVs on me and filling my oceans with plastic and whatnot — and hey, I am NOT being judgmental — but I would appreciate it if you’d maybe take a moment and think: “Hey, is Earth trying to tell us something?”
Like all those wildfires in Canada right now. You know, the ones that have already given Chicago and New York City some of the worst air quality in the world a couple of times this summer?
You think I want to burn down my own forests? I worked hard on those things. It’s like growing a nice beard and then having a bunch of people who live on your face come along and set it on fire. Not cool, guys.
Sorry, I didn’t mean to yell. It’s just... like I don’t know how many more ways I can tell you to be responsible with me. I thought seeing a few giant blocks of ice break off the polar ice caps and crash into the already rising ocean might make you displeased to think: “OK, maybe I don’t need to drive my Hummer to a store that’s two blocks away.”
I’m honestly running out of patience with you humans. And where else do you think you’re gonna go, the moon? I’ve seen the billionaires you think will take you there, and I’m not loving your chances.
So c’mon, be reasonable surface residents and start recognizing the signs and showing me a little respect. Your time is very much running out.
Whatever happens, you won’t be able to say I didn’t warn you.
Sincerely,
— Earth
12. What does the earth think humans should do right now?
A. Find other planets to live on. B. Walk to stores instead of driving a car.
C. Stop the sea level from rising. D. Take Earth’s warning seriously and act.
13. What does the underlined word “recklessly” in paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A. With the use of great force. B. Without any awareness.
C. Regardless of the consequences. D. Through good organization.
14. Why does the earth think humans should protect the earth?
A. The earth is an extremely small plant. B. The earth is the only suitable living place.
C. The other planets are too far away. D. It is too inconvenient to live on the moon.
15. What does paragraph 5 mainly want to tell us?
A. Humans should be blamed for the wildfires in Canada.
B. The earth feels sorry that it couldn’t protect its forests.
C. The bear d is as important for a human being as a forest.
D. Both beard and a forest are important for human beings.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. A
【解析】

【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第三段中“but I would appreciate it if you’d maybe take a moment and think: ‘Hey, is Earth trying to tell us something?’(但如果你能花点时间想想:‘嘿,地球是想告诉我们什么吗?’我会很感激的。)”和最后一段“Whatever happens, you won’t be able to say I didn’t warn you.(无论发生什么,你们都不能说我没有警告过你们。)”可知,地球认为人类现在应该认真对待地球的警告并采取行动。故选D项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据原文第三段“I know you all are busy driving large SUVs on me and filling my oceans with plastic and whatnot(我知道你们都在我身上忙着开大型suv,用塑料填满我的海洋等等)”和第六段“ I thought seeing a few giant blocks of ice break off the polar ice caps and crash into the already rising ocean might make you displeased to think(我想,看到几块巨大的冰块从极地冰盖上脱落,撞向已经上升的海洋,你可能会不高兴地想)”可知,人类开着大排量汽车,海洋里填满塑料、气温上升导致极地冰块融化,这些都是不计后果地毁坏地球。划线单词“recklessly”的意思是“不顾后果地”。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文最后一段中“And where else do you think you’re gonna go, the moon? I’ve seen the billionaires you think will take you there, and I’m not loving your chances. (你们还能去哪里呢?去月球吗?我见过那些你认为会带你们去那里的亿万富翁,但我并不看好你们的机会。)”可知,地球认为人类应该保护地球的原因是地球是唯一适合居住的地方。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第五段“You think I want to burn down my own forests? I worked hard on those things. It’s like growing a nice beard and then having a bunch of people who live on your face come along and set it on fire. Not cool, guys.(你们以为我想烧毁自己的森林吗?我做这些事情很努力。这就像长了一副漂亮的胡须,然后有一群住在你脸上的人过来把它点着了。不酷,伙计们。)”可知,本段通过类比的方式说明森林就像人类的胡须一样,谁也不愿意去毁掉它,野火烧毁森林并非地球愿意为之,而是人类应该为此负责。故选A项。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了关于中国普洱景迈山古茶园文化景观被列为世界遗产,并介绍了该遗产地的基本情况及其独特的茶叶种植方式。
【36题详解】
考查动词的时态。句意:周日,在沙特阿拉伯利雅得举行的联合国教科文组织世界遗产委员会第45届会议上,普洱景迈山古茶林文化景观获得了世界遗产地位。根据下文的时间状语“on Sunday”可知,此处描述的是过去发生的事情,因此动词“gain”应该使用过去式,故填gained。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:它成为了中国的第57个世界遗产项目,也是第一个与茶相关的世界遗产。此处“become”作结果状语,表示自然而然的结果,因此使用现在分词形式,故填becoming。
【38题详解】
考查副词。句意:这个新命名的遗产地位于云南省普洱市澜沧拉祜族自治县,包括五片大型、保存完好的古茶林。此处修饰形容词“named”,应使用副词形式做状语,故填newly。
【39题详解】
考查关系代词。句意:这些古茶林海拔在1250至1500米之间;有三片防护林;还有九个古村落位于古茶林中,主要居住着布朗族和傣族。此处“which”引导非限制性定语从句,指代前文的先行词“five large-scale, well-preserved old tea forests”,故填which。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意:这些古茶林海拔在1250至1500米之间。根据下文“sea level”可知,此处特指海平面,故填the。
【41题详解】
考查被动语态。句意:这个文化景观是由布朗族的祖先——他们在公元10世纪迁移到景迈山,后来发现并驯化了野生茶树——和当地的傣族人民共同创造的。根据句意,“create”与主语“The cultural landscape”之间是被动关系,且因描述的是过去的事情,因此使用一般过去时的被动语态,故填was created。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意:基于长期的实践,当地人发展了林下种植技术。“On the basis of”是固定搭配,意为“基于……”,故填On。
【43题详解】
考查动词的时态和主谓一致。句意:这种技术涉及让草或树在较高的树木下生长良好,这些草或树较小且具有足够的耐荫性。此处描述的是一种持续存在的状态,因此使用一般现在时;主语“which”指代前文的“the understory growing technique”,是单数,因此动词“involve”使用第三人称单数形式,故填involves。
【44题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:当地人为茶树创造了理想的生长光照条件。“condition”在这里是可数名词,表示“条件”,因此处为泛指,此处应使用复数形式,故填conditions。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。句意:从而在不使用杀虫剂和化学肥料的情况下生产出优质的有机茶叶。此处修饰名词“fertilizers”,应使用形容词形式,故填chemical。

【答案】One possible version:
Should students be ranked according to their exam grades and should the ranking be published? Recently the question is under heated discussion. Personally, I argue that they can be ranked but the ranking should not be announced publicly. The ranking can tell me my exact position in my class or even in my school so that I can know how academically good I am. The ranking can also encourage me to work harder to catch my classmates ahead of me. However, I don’t like the ranking to be made known to others. That will push me too hard. Anyway my scores are just my privacy.

第二节 (满分25 分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was still at school, when dad arrived home with a homeless dog. Her tail wagged all the way. Mom and dad fed her and gave her a bath. I had always wanted a dog. My parents told me when I was old enough and responsible, I could have one. Well I guess they figured the time was right.
I hopped off the bus, not knowing what awaited inside for me. I walked through the door, and to my surprise a white and black puppy with a red bow stuck to her head, greeted me with many many puppy kisses. A very special friendship was born that day.
Now she needed a name. My older brother laughed at her and said her tail was special. It doesn’t wag its tail back and forth, it goes in a circle. He motioned his finger around his ear. “She’s squirrely”, he said. Thus my puppy, Squirrely got her name. She was a smart dog. I taught her to play hide and seek. We would play for hours, spending our days learning and growing together.
Eleven years we were together, best of friends. Illnesses and old age set in on her. My parents knew what had to be done, but they stood back and let me find and make the decision myself.
She was suffering so much and the medicine didn’t seem to help anymore. She could barely walk. I looked into those deep brown eyes and realized it was time to let her go.
I carried her into the vet’s (兽医的) office, placed her on the table. Squirrely leaned her head forward, gave a lick to my hand. As if to say she understood, and stay strong. Her tail was wagging in that circle as it always did.
The vet gave her a sedative (镇静剂) first, for the final shot was given on her front paw, and that was painful. She went to sleep, but her tail still wagged.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Then the vet asked before giving the final shot, “Are you sure?” _

I didn’t go back to her grave for many years, but recently I went.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
Then the vet asked before giving the final shot, “Are you sure?” With a heavy heart and tear filled eyes, I nodded yes. The final shot was given. My eyes fixed upon her wagging tail. A matter of seconds and it stopped. The vet listened for a heart beat, and said “It’s over.” I wrapped her up in her favorite blanket, and carried her out. I took her home and buried her in the woods, where she loved playing, and chasing rabbits. It was the hardest thing I had ever done.
I didn’t go back to her grave for many years, but recently I went. Growing on her grave was a single wild flower. I sat and watched it swaying in the wind, realizing that it was swaying in a circle, just like Squirrely. I know now that, that special friend will be with me always, throwing light on my way to the future. We accompanied each other for more than eleven years, which brought both of us happiness. She always understood me, even when I unreluctantly made the final cruel decision for her.
