"Bobby"
People who knows me in Facebook and Twitter might be thinking who the hell this"bobby" i kept mentioning. He was my dog. I remembered that he was actually a reward from my mom because i did merely well for my PSLE. I admit i brought him because he is cute and i did not make any efforts in doing research about dogs. Therefore, my nightmare came. When i first brought him back he was extremely small and i have no idea of paper train it. Thus, he had been making lots of marking in the entire house. My mom was pissed, so am i. So, we have to enclose him in a area and not around the house. He lost his freedom from then on. Had him for almost 8 years and foods that were given to him wasn't healthy at all as I'm not experience in anything. He became skinny and skin problems started. After much struggle, i realised that i should give him up for somebody who are more capable of taking care of him.
I was sad but i know it's good for him.
I received a call on Monday morning from his current owner saying that they might wants to return bobby back to me as they are shifting to another location and it inconvenient for them to bring him along. I was surprised! In fact, i thought that bobby might have pass on as i totally lost contact with the owner$. Without many thoughts i told the owner to bring him back to me as i really miss him alot.
Three long years... i've been looking only at his pictures that were taken before,
when i came back from work, i saw him... but he don't recognised me.
I understand and i tried to go forward. He was stress and i almost got bitten by him. His condition wasn't good, his nails were long and there was a missing nail on his left feet. His teeth were almost gone. I went speechless, I blamed myself from bringing this to him. At that point of time, i said to myself that I'll make sure he gonna be happy till the day he pass on.
The next morning, i went to work as usual and i felt something wasn't right, I took leave immediately and went back home. Before heading home i intend to buy him a pack of treat (cheese) his favourite, to distress him a little. But the shop was closed.
The moment i stepped into my house, my maid told me that bobby ran out of the house. I was like wth~ is going on? i was worried and i informed his previous owner immediately. They came searching together. I suggest of putting up "missing" notice around my block area but bobby was nowhere to be seen.
I was bother not receiving any calls regarding about bobby, i was desperated, therefore i seek AVA and S.P.C.A for help and reported to them that i actually lost my dog.
S.P.C.A were helpful. Around afternoon, i was ecstatic to receive a call from S.P.C.A saying that they actually found bobby! Right after i ended work i rush down together with Amelia and we took him back. He looks doleful. I had a small discussion with his previous owner regarding about bobby and i wasn't sure whether the outcome that i choose was right. Initially, i refused to return it back to him, but after serious consideration, i told them to pick bobby tomorrow. Although i wanted to give bobby the best that i could as he grew older. I thought that he might not be as happy with me as compared. Whereby he is being used to his previous owner and I'm actually forgotten.
Hopefully, this is going to be right for him and i seriously hope that he can be as happy as before.
Bobby, will always be my dog and he will never be forgotten.
I owed him a lot and this is the best i can do for you.
Today was going to be the last time i can be able to see you.

You will be missed...
