After eating my "breakfast in bed", I received a text message from my mom. I thought it was just a happy heart's day message. It turns out, my dog Butter passed away early this morning. :-(( I guess it was just one of those days when after being so over the top happy, it would soon be followed by bad news.
So after reading the message and standing still for a couple of minutes (I didn't know what I was feeling...), my tears began to fall. I cried and cried for like half an hour (now, I look like a goldfish!) and started reminiscing.
We've had her for a long time -- eight years. She was given to us by our neighbor. I was so thrilled to have a new pet that time. She would always stay in my room, would wake me up at times that even God must be sleeping. She would cry and wimper. I would ssshh her and wait if she would stop. Obviously, she wouldn't so I'd carry her and bring her on my bed. As she grew older, she had to stay outside in her cage. I know it's a bit cruel but she had to. Otherwise, our living room would be a mess and she would have probably eaten most of the flowers in our garden (she was a vegetarian in her early years.. LOL!). So anyway, I really love this dog. I would go to her whenever I feel down. Her eyes (that looked like she was putting on eyeliner while in the car) really make me feel ... safe and happy. It's true what they say that having a pet (that you truly care for) really makes life bearable. I will really, really, really miss her.... I hope she's happy in dog heaven...
To all pet lovers... never take your pets for granted... You'll never know when they will go....
