When I created this blog, I told myself that I will only be posting entries when I am happy to create positive vibes and inspire my readers. But today is different. Our dog named Puppy deserves a tribute...
I just got a text message from my mom that our dog named Puppy died three days ago. I still find it hard to believe and I can't help but cry. My mom told me a month ago that Puppy was sick and was getting weak as days go by. I tried to ignore what she said for I was very pessimistic that Puppy will be healed. My mom and my dad did everything to save him and Puppy was confined in the hospital for a month.
I has been seven years since we had Puppy. My younger brother Marion wanted a pet then and although I was against the idea, I had to no choice but to deal with it. Marion named him Puppy. We thought it was funny to name a dog Puppy. I asked my brother, "What if he gets older, will you still call him Puppy?" Marion said, "Even if he gets older, he will be my puppy..." Now I clearly understand. Puppy will remain a part of our family, our puppy, our baby!
I was not an animal-lover. I was kind of scared to touch them like as if they would always bite me. It took months before I learned to touch Puppy. So in the family, I think I was the least person who showed affection to Puppy. But I remember touching his head every morning, giving him foods when he's hungry. Now I feel I could have done better although I have loved him deeply.
Even if I would be gone for years, Puppy would still remember me. It is sad to think that next year when I go back again to the Philippines, there will be no more Puppy who will try his best to be noticed by me. At times, I would call him "Puppy" and he would bark like as if he understood what I wanted him to do.
He's a lovable dog. Almost everyone in our subdivision knows him. He has been a loyal friend to my family and he will be missed. Rest in Peace Puppy! Thank you for all the memories!
When you face your real Master, He will tell you - Job Well Done!
Today I learned that you have to tell people you love how much they mean to you, cause you will never know what will happen tomorrow. If a dog could touch lives, how much more could we do?
