dog, on my first day, the whole day was tears, no meals and I cannot sleep. There was FEAR also. FEAR that I will loss the loved ones in my family too. On the second day, I was still sad, tears filled my eyes whenever I thought of him. Everywhere I looked around the house, I could see his image. I could not believe he could die so young and so unexpected. It was a sudden death.

I questioned myself why he died, I searched for answers. Days passed and I repeated the same things of asking, answering and trying to comfort myself.

Time heals all wounds. Just like when you have a cut on your hand. First it was painful, and then the pain gradually gone. The loss of a dog is just like a cut in your heart. Depending on how attached you are to your dog, the more attached you are to your dog when he is alive, you will feel a deeper cut in your heart when your dog leaves you one day. This pain will not be the same as in the cut of a knife but your heart is aching and you feel very miserable, insecure or fear.

I knew that he was really gone and could not be back. There will come a time when you will finally accepted that your love dog is really dead, but just a matter of time. For me, now is about four months since his death, my wounds have healed. But there is a scar left. It is a big scar hidden in the heart. It never 'disfigure' me, but it has did 'changed' my hearts.

Till this day, I kept all his things at home. His favourite clothes and shoes. I never washed his collar. I still want to retain his unique 'smell'. I miss you, my dear Cebest.
