Blog-huh?

Last December 29,2009 approximately at 5pm in the afternoon when Cha-Cha got home from the Doctor, she passed away. I got this e-mail from my Dad. This made me cry and it was the first heartfelt letter that I got from Daddy. I just want to share it, I'm sure that most of you who had experience the same thing understand how heartbroken and hurt this must. I don't know how to show my empathy to my Father. It felt that I can't do anything to make him feel better and to even ease the pain cause I would have felt the same, if it happens to me. So, I hope my Dad will read this someday and know that I did try to empathize with his on this experience.

Hello ,

my pet pug died yesterday dec. 29. i had to tell this story since i owe it to chacha who had been with me for almost 9 years since she was 3 months old. after my wife Mellie died i spent a lot of my time taking care of chacha since i didn't want to entrust her to maids who do not know how to take care and love dogs. chacha goes with me to almost everyplace i go to even to my office everyday. she sleeps with me since she was 3 months old.

last nvember i noticed that she had a boil in her legs but very small. as days went by the boil started growing but not very fast. i had her brought to the vet but the vet couldn't operate cause chacha was overweight and she had to go on a diet. about a week ago the boil grew very big and i started to get worried but my vet was on a seminar in singapore. last friday when i came home i noticed that chacha wasn't as active as she used to be and she was just waiting for me to be beside her. i talked to val and said that we should bring her to the vet on monday since i notice the boil was starting to bleed on sunday.

val brought chacha to the vet on monday and the vet had her stay overnight for some test to find out whether he could operate. this afternoon at 2:00 pm the vet called me to pick up chacha since her x ray machine had problems and she said that she gave her antibiotics sor the boil and to bring chacha back on january then she will operate to remove the boil.i had my driver and maid pick up chacha. when chacha got home entered my room beingcarried by the maid she looked at me and went into a massive heart attack but without any sound.

when the maid placed her on my bed at first i didn't notice that she died but i didn't like the way the maid placed her on my bed. i went over to straighten her and noticed she had died.

i can't help myself from being sad and alone. i will miss my chacha. she will always have a place in my heart. my routine will have to change abruptly.

i thank God for giving me chacha and the time i spent with her. chacha was not only my friend but she made me realize that taking care of others is such a fulfilling value.

i will always have such a friend as chacha in my heart to remind me of values that i have to give and conquer as i go to fulfill my destiny.

a pet is forever
