Towards a New Frontier 2.0

Today, something terrible happened. My little dog had been suffering with a big lump on her back left leg for quite some time already. Previously we asked a vet to come, but he could not cure her. His injection only make the lump bigger.

Today, another vet came. He diagnosed her to have bone cancer. There was nothing can be done already. To lessen her suffering, the vet suggested to “put her to sleep”. My mum agreed.

After I came back and knew this fact. I was thunderous! I just could not believe it at first. But as my mum was telling me the news, I sensed her in crying voice. I knew it was true. I wanted to scold her at first for letting her go like that. But I knew I just couldn’t blame her. I knew she loved her also. I knew she wouldn’t want it like that also.

I went back into my room to cry. I wouldn’t want to worsen my mum’s already saddened heart.

Even though it’s just a few hours passed, I missed Chappi a lot….. My heart sores like there’s no tomorrow.

Every year, on the 17th of July, I declare it as my personal holiday. A day of remembrance for my cute and pretty little Chappi. Thank you for coming into my life.

I had watched you grow from first day of your birth. From such a little pup to a big (and a little fat) pretty dog. You played with me, you bullied me (and I also bullied you sometimes), you listened to my rants and you cheered me up always. I love to pat you by the head and laughed at you when you were always scared by the stupid washing machine. I still remember how much you were frightened during Chinese New Year when fire crackers were all around and I had to go to the back to comfort you. I still remember when you were a pup, you got fever and my mum had to feed you with that awful antibiotic. I still remember how disgusting it was the dead mouse that you so proudly showed us after you killed it. I still remember you so clearly in my heart and you will stay that way. Sorry that I had not tell you how much I loved you even until today.. And now I have no more chance..

Although you were just a pet, but somehow, you are much much important to me than many many other human beings in my life.

I now announce: 17 July 2008, the day an important character left me and may God bless you always….
