I almost lost another one

This week had been something for me...

Last March 20, 2012, I was spending my spare time at our store and was having a nice chat and fun with my Aunt and cousin when suddenly Johnedel (http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100002523302922) arrived holding Lucky and was alarmed saying, "Ano gigibuhon mi digdi kay Lucky? Dai mi aram gigibuhon mi! (What will we do to Lucky? We don't know what to do with him!)" At first, I didn't noticed the panic in his voice but when I looked at Lucky, there I say him breathing so far and was drooling badly. When I asked what happened, my cousin Eden told me that Lucky threw up all his food and just suddenly drool like crazy and they suspected that he must be poisoned or something.

Immediately, we rushed him to the Clinic (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Bicol-Pet-Lovers-Veterinary-Clinic/185288244875043) for possible treatment.

There, we waited for a few minutes for the Doc and when she finally arrived, she immediately gave Lucky his antidote (it was confirmed that it was poison) and waited for the results. She told us that he is in a 50-50 situation with a higher risk of losing him. I tried my best to prepare for the worst. But after an hour or so, Lucky shows some improvement and was starting to respond when we are calling for him. He blinks his eyes, moves his eyes and started to soften from his stiff state earlier. Around 8:00 in the evening, we finally decided to leave the clinic and leave Lucky overnight to be observed.

We went straight to my cousin's house to asked what really happened and there we found out that Lucky was playing with a Bull Frog and might accidentally tastes a blood or eaten a piece of it (Johnedel found the frog dead, only a few inches away from Lucky when he started to show signs of poisoning). Turns out that frogs are poisonous because it contains toxins dangerous for pets. Then after a few hours, we went home and hoped for the best.

The following day, I received an unexpected news, Lucky was alive and was already discharged. After work, I went immediately to my cousins place to check on Lucky and found him on his usual behavior and was happily playing.

Thank heavens!

I thought I was about to lose another baby, good thing there's Bicol Pet Lovers and Doc Tin to help. I already owe them the lives of Liah and now Lucky.

My Once Perfect Partners

I miss them… it was my choice… I know… and I’m crazy to let it that way. It was perfect. Though most of the time, it wasn’t. But for me it was. It was perfect. Sometimes God’s plans require us to let go of those that we love the most. And in my case, I really have to let them go. They used to be mine, but they’ll never be forever. It has to end. I made a choice and it means living my life without them by my side.

They were everything to me. I love them no doubt at all. But loving gives me more pain than I ever thought possible. I guess, this is how love goes. I may have been in love, actually, I was in love, but the pain kills me more. And it’s still killing me now. I was addicted with thoughts of them and it haunts me every night. Just the thought of leaving them would have ushered me to my grave.

I left my heart with them. They owned it before I know. It was beating for them and I breath just to be with them. I dreamt of a perfect love and they were successful enough to make my dreams real. They made everything so perfect that my heart couldn’t almost contain. Their voice still echo inside my head. Their memories still fog my thoughts. I can’t imagine myself without him. But reality bites. They're gone and I was the reason why they're not here. I guess I have to accept the fact that they're really gone. And I have to admit that it was entirely my fault. I was a total failure. A loser in a game wherein I fought for selfish reasons while they were actually fighting for me.

I never felt their love not until I almost blew it all up. Not until now. I missed them like hell. I miss them and its making me crazy. My mind dictates me to move on but I guess my heart never will. If I could only turn back the hand of time and go back to where it all started. If only I could… if only I could. I ruined it all. I destroyed a perfect dream… a perfect partnership… my partners.

Tears won’t stop. And I chose to let them all… everything to be exact. Life must move on. But I guess, I never will. I just hope they’ll still think of me. But I guess, it’ll be an awkward thing to do. I can’t find the reason why I still hope from something that I know could never be. I’m so stupid to have myself still convicted within the jail of memories. I won’t be able to free myself from the grasp of their being.

I have learned enough. I have learned to love them from what they are and they did the same. No, I need to learn how to get rid of my stupid thoughts. I have to learn to forget and live my incomplete life again. They molded me into who I am and I’ll never get to where I am if not because of them. I owe them everything… I owe it all to them…

They belongs to the past…

And now they're gone…

I need to live again…

Live a life without them…

A life that ill never be complete again, for they're not mine anymore…

Trapped…

Chained…

Alone…

The Dog and Owner's Covenant

10 Promises to My Dog's

My Babies, Mateo and Princess Grace passed away last January 15 and 16, 2012 respectively. I suddenly realized that I wasn't been a good Dada to them. I was so careless and did not give them enough attention. Now that they are gone, I finally realize how much they mean to me. With their early demise, I have this promises for them, and to the remaining of my babies:

1. I promise that I will always be at your side. That I won't give you any cause for you to be depressed and sad.

2. I promise that I'll be more patient and avoid being short-tempered and irritable when you can't understand my commands.

3. I promise that I will trust you and respect you with all my life for I know that trust and respect is earned not given as some sort of inalienable right.

4. I promise that I won't be angry with you for so long and will not lock you as a form of punishment. I know that you are not capable of understanding why you are being locked up. I know that I may have my work, entertainment and friends while you only have me as your buddy.

5. I promise to talk to you more often even if I know you don’t understand my words, cause I know you can understand my tone. All I have to do is look at your tail to know it.

6. I promise that I will be aware that however I treat you, you will never forget, and if that treatment is unjust or bad, it may spoil the special bond between us.

7. I promise not to hit you cause I know that you cannot hit me back. I know that you can bite and scratch me, but you don't want to do that to me.

8. I promise that before I scold for being uncooperative, obstinate, or lazy, I'll figure out first if maybe somethings wrong with you.

9. I promise that I will take care of you when you get old cause like you, I too, will grow old and will also want care, love, and affection.

10. I promise that I will go with you on your difficult journeys. I'll never say, “I can’t bear to watch” or “Let it happen in my absence”. I know that everything will be easier for you if I am there. Just remember, irrespective of what happen, I will always love you.

In Loving Memory of

MATEO

The sweetest dog ever!

Super nag enjoy ako kay Liit, ang sweet niya. . .

ganito kasi yun, everytime na umaalis ako, palagi siyang sumusunod hanggang samay door. . . Then pag naka alis na daw ako, bumabalik na siya sa loob. . . Pero for the past few days, bako na yan ang nangyayari. . . Everytime daw na umaalis ako, susundan niya ako until samay door. . . then kahit wala na ako, he would just sit there and wait. . . Minsan, humihiga na siya sa floor near our door. . . Waiting. . . Aalis lang daw siya dun pag tinawag na or pag masyado na matagal na hindi ako bumabalik. . . Then pag bumalik naman ako, hayun, takbo ever na siya. . . sabay talon sakin and kiss ever na!

Ang sweet. . .

Then one time, umalis ako to buy my food. . . Bumili ako ng burger sa Burger Machine. . . Buy One, Take One pa until now yun so sigurado, solve ang snack ko. . . Hehehehehehe. . . Siguro, mga 30 minutes din ako nawala. . . Pagbalik ko, guess what, Liit was waiting for me the whole time. . . Naka upo lang siya samay door. . . Pagkakita sa akin, hayun, pumasok na sa kuwarto niya at nahiga. . . Touch naman ako, kaya yung extra burger ko, binigay ko na lang sa kanya. . . Sosyal! Weeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Now, everytime na aalis ako, I would tell Liit not to wait for me. . . And sumusunod naman siya. . . Pasok agad siya sa kuwarto niya ang natutulog. . . Pag balik ko, may treat agad siya sa akin. . . :D

La lang, just want to share the sweetness of Liit. . . :D
