Sunday

Today is my last Sunday here in KK before I leave. Of course, I'll be back and will be spending more Sundays here I guess.

How sad. The population of our dogs just keep getting less and less. But I don't feel as sad as when Lobs went. Because I guess it was really, really heartbreaking to see Lobs suffer like that. See her slipping when she walked, struggling to get up or lie down, refusing to eat or drink and when she did, seeing her vomit it out again, stroking her and feeling only bones beneath her skin. =( I spent so, so much time sitting beside her, stroking her, scared to leave her alone in case she FELT abandoned, wiping her vomit up, trying to make her drink glucose water, and wiping her vomit up again. The living room stank of her sourish vomit, all the gastric juices that had nothing to digest. =( Sad that Lobs had to literally starve to death, even sadder that she didn't die at home.

I knew something was wrong with Twinkles one day when I came home from school. I stroked him and could see and feel that he was as thin as when Lobs was sick. Then at night I walked to the living room and thought I smelled the lingering scent of Lobs' vomit smell. I thought that the smell just hadn't disappeared yet and I just hadn't noticed until then, but in the morning I found out it was Twinkles vomit. I wondered at that time, as I still do now, whether it's a bug going around and was hitting my dogs one by one. But they were really old, so I'm not sure. Anyway, I wanted to suggest putting him down, end his suffering you know? =( I didn't want him to starve to death. But well, he's gone now. SIGH.

So the last Sunday, the last Sunday I have before I begin a new chapter of my life, it was pretty normal. Just that I'm really, really, really sleepy, and am going to take a nap efore blogging about it and yesterday.

I'm so blessed. Thank God, seriously! =D
