What a sad coincidence.
On Winter´s first day, it was my 30th birthday and on Winter´s last day, my babe left this world. (I live in Brazil)
It´s been almost 11 years but I still remember when I first saw him.
I had to choose between these two most darling english cocker spaniels. One of them, black, very cheerful. I picked up the golden one, for he looked so fragile and small.
I fell in love with him so instantly. I took him in a shoe box.
I remember everything: first bath, first meal, first bark. And they´re all registered with pictures and also in my memory.
I believe he´s been such a happy dog, he had everything that I child does. We´ve been together in several places.
He´s always been healthy but when he turned 10, he got blind. The vet said a surgery wouldn´t help him.
Some months later he was caught by a very serious disease and in less than a week (6 days), he was gone.
It breaks my heart to think about it because he died in a pet hospital without any person of the family.
He was like my own child. I adored him and always will. I never thought it would hurt this much.
I buried him just yesterday. Now I keep recalling the moment he was put down in his grave. Now I picture him running, with his big ears, on the fields of paradise and I wish we could meet again one day.
I will never forget you
