All Dogs Go To Heaven

Ryder died. :’(





He died right in front of our eyes. Poisoned. My heart aches for him. He was really in great pain. Yet still when he was in pain he still lifted up his head and wagged his tail when Mum called him. He always answers when we call his name. I looked away while the last waves of convulsions racked through his body. I couldn’t even bring myself to stroke his fur for the last time. I was too sad … … Ah-Der, you must have felt so scared and confused. Even when your body has stopped convulsing, there’s a puzzled look in your eyes. As if you’re wondering what’s wrong with your body …

I just gave him a bath the day before. He hates it when we give him baths. He’ll always find a way to escape. Even while we’re giving him a bath, he’ll try to slip away. Ha-ha. I love you Ah-Der. That evening after his bath, I hugged him. His fur felt so soft, so fluffy.

I love it when he looks at us in the eyes, as if trying to make us feel guilty. He’s a smart dog. Yet he can be sly too sometimes. Once in a while he’ll come slinking into the kitchen, as if wanting to remind us that it’s time for his dinner. He’ll look at us with that big round eyes of his, making us feel guilty for not giving is meal on time. Ah-Der, I miss you.

I miss how you’ll wait for us at the gate when we’re out at night. I miss how you’ll jump on us when we arrive home as if we have been away for a month, even though it has only been few hours. I miss calling out your name, just too see you wag your tail at us. I miss how you’ll sit in the middle of the road and not even flinch when car passes by (as if we’re feeding you stones). I MISS WATCHING YOU RUN!!! You make me feel so proud when you run, with that long strides of yours, trying to out-run cars. I miss you Ah-Der …

Be good, Ryder. You’re with Billion and Palappy now. At least Palappy will be glad to see you. His big brother will be there to play with him now. Billion will also be glad to see you. Don’t worry bout Ah-Han. He may be puny, but he’s a tough dog. He’ll miss your companion though. Calvin will be ok soon too. Don’t worry bout him.

All dogs go to heaven. It’s the name of a cartoon movie I use to watch when I was a kid. All my doggies are in heaven now. Be good doggies. Shadow, Pinky, PuiPui, Palappy, Billion and Ryder, be good. I love you my doggies.

Goodbye my handsome Dark Knight. I miss you terribly.
