i never expected life to be so short. i mean death has always posed this scary front to me and i hate to hear when ppl pass away. 1 mth ago, i adopted this german shepherd. beyond his ierce exterior, he is the warmest pet anyone ca have. well trained and lways so happy to see people. how his once huge frame has shrunk ( but still very big)..because he was sick. we took him in still.
i always thought dogs were stronger. wont they in kampung times? even if they were sick - there is no vet or so. So when vito is sick and we ran out of digestive meds , we kinda took one day at a time. thinkin we will get it when apil starts - so we can send him to be deticked, get a heart gard procedure for heart worms and..might as well get some medication.
who know that on the night he started puking white vomit - everyone seem to have similar experiences. but it gave them ample time to see the vet the next day. and since clinics were closed. we thought the same. but the next day, he didnt send me out of the gate. he sat there on the grass patch. i went over pat his head and told him"bye vito. wait for me ok?".
i wanted to go for sch and come bac to bring him to the vet.
apaarently by mid mornin, my dad decides to walk him to the vet which is a ten mins walk. but who knew halfway vito collapsed and my dad had to borrow a wheelburrow from the construction site to wheel him home. he called the clinic - tey said the surgeo is in surgery.
not long after, he was determined to come into the house. usually he knew he was supposed to stay on th porch or backyard. not allowed in the house. but he insisted to come in, went to the study and looked for my dad. then he walked out and breathed his last outside the door on the patio.
i miss him alot the holes he dig which i scolded him for. the ffrisbee he insisted on chewin till his gums bled a bit. the tennis ball he so like to bite till its all soggy. we bring him out for walks and the way he chased after cas. the muzzle which i had no opportunity to use. the planned east coast park trip. i miss u . we all do.
