1. The biggest event in my opinion is obviously the shooting. Several people die and and it is just such an impacting event that it makes me a little sick when I read it. It is written very stately and detailed so it is very cold and serious. Shootings like this happen quite abit in today's twisted society and in most cases like in the story the killer kills himself.
2. At the beginning of the essay her state of mind is more depressed and willing to put up with the dog who is not going to be around much longer. For example she changes the dogs blankets several times a day and tries to comfort it when it is irritated by the squrrels upstairs. By the end, after hearing about the shooting and going through the dog's hardhships, she is somber and almost accepting of the fact she has to let go. She knows its inevitable that the dog will die and her husband will leave for good.
3. The dog is important because it represents death and ending but also her own life. She is clinging onto this dog because she's scared of its death. It relates to her own life and her tendiness to hold onto things like her husband for instance.
