Suki Now Gone: Ode to a Lovely Dog :(

Tweet

Suki never made it which made us all sad, my father especially. My father was her chief nurse, caring for her throughout her ordeal, taking her to the vet, cleaning up after her, feeding her and watching over her at night. I bet it was a difficult sight for him the moment that Suki was slowly slipping away where he tried to revive her but failed and when she finally died in his own arms. It is difficult for me to accept that Suki won't be there at our front porch greeting me when I get home. I bet it is harder for my father still that when he calls out each of the dogs' names at lunch and dinner that Suki won't be there jump and show her excitement over her favorite food. We will surely miss her. Suki will always be remembered of her sweetness to us, her family. How she was so delighted over plastic bottles when she was just a puppy, making them her toys and throwing them up in the air. We will surely miss the way she wants to be petted and how she likes to be massaged so much from head to tail, giving her satisfactory shivers along her spine. I will surely miss those nimble feet and legs and how she used to jump from one sofa to another when she is excited to see me, how she loves to eat vegetables and despises them at a later time in her dog life, how she used to love pork but hates them when it has been pork for dinner for 3 consecutive mealtimes. Suki loves to be pampered but hates to take a bath. How I will miss her cat-like ways, taking care of herself. I will surely miss hugging her. She was sickly as a puppy and lived for five short human years. She has transformed from a near-savage puppy who lacked attention to a sweet and adorable family member. She has her moments of shortcomings but then she proved to be a passionate companion to the other dogs. Though she may not be friendly to human others who don't know her much, but still she remains to be adorable and lovable to us. She loved us, her family, and has always been loyal throughout her short-lived life. Suki now gone. Our home won't be the same. She left her brother and sister behind, Pluto and Lottie. My father let Pluto saw her for the last time when she was finally buried so that he won't go around looking for her. I'm sure Pluto will also miss her. Suki now gone.. gone to dog heaven. :_(
