 Tribute to My Beloved Snowie “SNOW”
1999- 30 July 10
It has been 34 hours this very time I am writing this since my Beloved best friend Snowie or “Snow” as he is fondly called left me forever. Snow was approximately 11 years old this year… he is the son of our first dog Bogart when my parents retired and transferred to this place and all these times, every time am on vacation in my Mom’s place, he was my constant companion everywhere I go. He was such a smart dog that he could understand local commands. He was such a kind, warm, obedient and very loving dog… yet jealous! Every time I come here, it was him that I always look forward of greeting me when I arrived…It pains me so much beyond words for him leaving me… In his lifetime he was been a survivor…. A few years back he surpassed a disease, wherein even the vet has told me it was a miracle … till Nov 2009, when he had another sickness, this time the vet told me , due to his old age, his kidney is all worn-out and he has this excessive sort of choking and coughing, yet he still survived that and got well again, in a way these past eight months , but at times would still have his coughing and choking, till last sat, 24 July 2010, when he had a seizure… I never knew that animals could have seizure, and I was with him all through -out his ordeal , having my own ordeal of nervousness and panic that he might die, at that time all I can do was to pray him over while he was stiff-up on my lap, and thank God after that seizure he just instantly stood-up again as if nothing happened, although still a bit weak carrying his almost 20 kilos weight…..I went to the vet and I was told it was a virus that affected him and it would only be a 50/50 chance due to his old age… he was given medicines , but now he refused to take it…yet I still hoped and prayed he would still survive this again. I was answered though with my prayers…. Six precious days to be with him, and yesterday morning, as he went to his favorite spot in the house after we woke up from my room and I was preparing food, I just told him to wait for me as I am to prepare food for him, then just barely a minute or two when I turned my back from him, when I heard him crying in pain… I rushed to him and hoping it would just be like the other time that he would recover, as the vet said the seizure may recur, I put him on my lap and was talking to him, but this time there was no response, seems like in an instant he parted with me forever…. Snow, wherever you are this very moment, I know you know that I love you so much, that till this very moment I never stopped crying and looking at your photos and holding your collar, since you were brought to rest by Dad yesterday, I know it might be selfish to refused to let you go, I know you might have been tired already after all these years and the pains that your sickness had caused you, but it is just that I love you so much and I never want you to go… You know that I did my best in everything to keep you …I miss you terribly; I miss your smiles and our hugging…. I will never forget you Baby Snow…. As I went to visit your grave this day, I told you am dedicating to you the song “Special Memory” I know you are hearing it as I am playing it the whole day, even to this minute… I hope you are in a better place now…. And I pray that someday we will still be reunited again…Forgive me for chasing you around to take your meds even you refused these past few days, coz I just want you to get well and to be with me still…but I guess it is just your time… and once again, as I told you over and over the last time… Thank You so much for all the joys, love and guarding you made for me and our family… We all miss you much, the pups Maru & Bogart, even Kim & Kimbela were all sad… and of course Amo Orly and Amo Dal…. And even Master Jackie… we are all grieving in your parting with us…we all miss you so much…….and it will never be the same again without you. I love you so much Snow, I just pray, that may I be able to see you even in my dreams just to be able to see you again and hug you even for the last time.
Loving you forever, Amo Arlene
