life is short..

They say.. it is a Man’s best friend.. a great companion.. a loyal servant.. yet a feline’s worst enemy.. and it’s definitely non other than a canine..

It first came as a puppy.. an adorable creature.. abandoned by it’s family.. dad brought it back.. He just had to name him ‘Blakie’ because of it’s silky black fur.. Every time we called ‘Blakie’, undoubtedly it will whack it’s tail enthusiastically which indicates he knows we are summoning him.. Blackie was a jovial and a hyperactive dog… he loves chewing anything! especially my shoes!!!! I used to slap his naughty mouth.

But tragedy strikes, he caught a fight with the neighbour’s dog.. somehow he was severely wounded.. Enigmatically, he fractured his left femur bone… and wasn’t able to walk nor run normally ever again.. it was a 360 turn for that dog, he became melancholy.. No longer after that, he keep losing weight.. he was pathetic.. i didn’t see him for a period of time.. because he was always avoiding us..

Finally, he showed some sigh of recovery a month later, i was very happy for him.. but fate said he was really an unlucky dog.. he got knocked by mom’s car… a double kill for him.. he wailed miserably whenever he was in pain… I felt sympathy for him.. a once hyperactive dog wasn’t even capable to stand properly..

Today was the last day of his life, last night dad sense that something was amiss with Blackie, i was there too.. *dad examined him*…. he was diagnosed with Jaundice by dad itself.. Jaundice is a medical condition whereby the skin and the white parts of the eye turned yellow…due to liver failure and infection.. he was real sick and weak, gasping for air as if it was it’s last..even the flies were surrounding him.. i just couldn’t stand watching him in deep pain.. then, dad said that he was a goner.. i broke down into tears immediately.. That night, it poured heavily… i was emo the whole night.. = (

Now, it’s already the evening.. I’m just back from a hectic day in school.. the maid say she’d buried the body shortly after i came home.. she said Blackie bit its own leg before he died… i guess he was really in excruciating pain.. May he rest in peace in haven with the Creator….. for he deserved it very much..
