Tummy pass away ... 26 Mar 09, 6:50pm

Dear friends,

Tonight has been a devastating night for me as I witnessed Tummy's Death.

Tummy, together with Sponge, are both Netherlands breed and have been part of our family since the day my sister brought them home. They even carry our family name - Tummy Yeo and Sponge Yeo, that's how close they are to us.

Tummy has been sick for the past few days & have not been eating. We brought him to the vet and was expecting him to recover soon after the vaccination like the previous time. I was even playing with his tail and patting him this afternoon even though he wasn't eating yet after the vet's visit. Who knows the last time I saw him was when my mum noticed that he wasn't able to lift up his head anymore. He was lying straight in front of me. I stroked his head and he tried to lift up his head and dropped again. i thought he was fine and was responding to me. But he kept doing it a couple of times as though he couldn't stop himself knocking his head. And the next moment he stopped breathing.

Tummy's death came too sudden & unexpected. Everyone in the family was very sad and cried. When I saw my mum's unbelieving & crying face, it reminded me of the time when my white local rabbits passed away when I was still in secondary school. My mum was so devastated as she took care of them & their 10 babies everyday when she herself was pregnant too.

Tears couldn't stop dropping even as I write now. Tummy & Sponge have been my company in good & bad times. There are some mornings that I was awaken by Tummy becos he "escaped" from the balcony and always likes to visit my bedroom in particular. There are times when he will come "begging" for rabbit treats. There are times when I was sad & lonely & would cry with him. And every night just before I sleep, I would check on them to give them a Good Night stroke on their cheeks *They love it! & make sure there is enough water. They have brought so much joy in my life. I was even thinking to myself that I would definitely want to take a picture with them in my wedding gown on my day. But I will never have the chance to do it with Tummy again.

Daniel says we will meet our pets when we go heaven because the Bible says that in heaven, lion lie beside sheeps. I don't know if that's true but Tummy, I'm sad to see you pass away before my eyes. I love you and I will always remember you my friend... ...
