YOU

You are always in my heart...

You were one of the best things I ever had in my life...

You were my best friend when I was young...with me from Primary One to the end of varsity....

I remember how you came into my life .. how Daddy's eyes gleamed when my eyes sparkled at the sight of you...

I remember how Nana and I used to fight over you...

I remember your sister Whopper...

I remember hugging your fur when I was happy or upset...

I remember how you could go out on your own and return on your own..

I remember you barking for us to let you in when the door was not open..

I remember your friend, the temple dog, Ronnie..

I remember your girl friend, Princess..

I remember how Catherine, Adeline and Andrea used to fuss over you..

I was always proud of you...

I remember how you ate my breakfast out of my hand in the mornings while I snoozed on the sofa..

I remember how you were so smart, knowing how to "sit" and "shake hands" and "lick lick"

I remember your bushy tail..

I remember cutting your fur myself countless of times..

I remember your patience when I cut, wash and dry your fur....

I remember how you never once tried to bit me even though I removed your ticks, fleas and hurt your nails by mistake..

I remember how you were always hit by that car and cursing that damn bloody driver...

I remember how you used to welcome me @ the door..

I remember how I used to miss you badly whenever I stayed out...

I remember how you used to be around me when I was upset...

I remember how you knew when we were home by recognising the sound of daddy's car...

I remember how you never got angry with us even though we would vent it out on you sometimes...

I remember how you departed from us... your eyes closing while my tears were rolling..

I'm proud how you left this world quietly and peacefully without suffering any pain..

At the end of the day, the YAPs are happy that you led a long life with us...

I still think of you often...I wish that wherever you are.. You are always happy.....
