Doggie Cheung by Elaine Cheung / With love & endless thoughts

My dearest Doggie,

Mommy & baby Nicholas and all of us missed you so badly. It was lucky that I could extent your life for further 5 years by rescuing you form your irresponsible owner. We became good friend since the first day we met. I loved to visit you everyday when I walked my own dogs. I loved so much to help you by offering you some food, some bone, and help to clean & refill your water bowl. And every time I would release your 2-feet-long chain and let you run free with my 7 dogs. Although it was only a 10- min short gathering & play time for us everyday. But I knew it was all and the only hope for you in the hell. Whenever I told you it was time to be back home and they might angry with me. You would immediately run back home and stood next to the chain ,and asked me to lock you again with the cruel chain. And it broke my hearts every time I said goodbye to you & tied you up again. They were so cruel & bad to you which every body in our village hated them so much .You were so sweet & good, we all believed that you deserved much more than this.

And one day, they said they were going to move, but they would like to drop you some where. So I told them right away we would keep you. And they said they were too busy for the packing and asked me it was too good if I could pick you up right away. Oh my God! They didn’t need a minute to say goodbye to you or even want you to say bye to their kids. So I brought you home & bath you in the garage immediately. I would never forget how happy you were when you were announced to be one of our family’s members, one of my 8 dogs. And after the bath, I teased you by walked you back to your old house, and asked you to go in as usual. But it was so amazing that you refused to entry, and you never did it again & dare to even take a look of it in these years. I thought you could understood that they didn’t want you any more, and you trusted me so much that I would always love you & even more when you became one of my dogs.

At that time, I hope it was not too late to save you from the serious illness which you were suffering. It was lucky that we could help you totally recovered & let you lived with us for 5 years more. But you always looked sad & lonely in these years, may be your bad dream in your old days never washed away. Or I didn’t offer you enough love & cares, since I had 7 other dogs & my new born baby. Sorry my dearest, I hope you would understand me & forgive me. But Mommy really loved you a lot and was so sad to lose you.

I would never forget your cute face when I came to see you in your old house, you always came to me like an engineer from the bottom of the car with a head full of petroleum .And you greet me with your little wagging tail, sadly eyes and a sunny smiling face. I would never forget you and the days we had shared in my rest of my life. Baby, You must be strong & patient, go and join your little brother Tau Tau as soon as you can. You two don’t cry and wait for Mommy there patiently, I must come to take care of you when my day comes. At that time we would never and ever again separate. But you should promise me be a happy & free dog with Tau Tau as your companion. And you must also go and check my Dad, he need your companion too..
