Nursing a broken heart...
It's been a horrible and most depressing wkend... Melmel left us last friday 20 Nov 09 as a result of a stroke caused by old age and life has never been the same again.. none of us could get used to his absence, including his "arch enemy" yoyo...
everywhere i turned to in the house reminded me of him and when my eyes landed on wat used to be his favourite spots, i cant help but rem his usual looks if he was still around... my eyes would search desperately in the house too for wat used to belong to him, like his food bowl, the scoop which used to be his drinking bowl...
I might never get another dog again.. the pain is too excruciating... hav always thot that i was prepared for his death someday cos he's realli getting very old and frail by the day but hav never thot that it wud b so sudden. juz the previous night, he was able to climb up the stairs on his own n the next morn, he cudnt even stand up anymore and the onset of the effect of his stroke juz set in so swiftly that within less than 6 hrs, he was gone..
even before the euthanasia was administered, he was already "semi-gone" and wasnt even responding when i told him for the very last time, "mel, jiejie loves u"...
wat a tragic end to a dog who was once all so lively and energetic n strong n healthy... gosh.. i tink i cannot handle this again.... no more pets!
